Scrap Paper 3 Ways ~ Card, Tag, Envelope Liner

 Welcome.  Thank you for visiting.  Today for Unity Stamp Company, I show how to use scrap paper 3 ways.  It is a coordinating gift set including a greeting card, a gift tag and an envelope with a matching liner.

Now, go check out your scrapbook paper stash and also the 12x12 paper pads.  You will find treasures perfect to make a set like this.  This sheet is patterned vellum, but most paper works.

Matching card and envelope set ~ patterned paper

  Today for Unity Stamp Company, I am sharing a matching card and envelope set using patterned paper with coordinating stamped sentiments.  No coloring was involved.

Matching watercolor card, envelope & liner + gladiolus flowers

       Here is a pretty gladiolus floral card with a matching watercolor card, envelope & liner.  Today on the Unity blog, I am sharing a way to coordinate the floral card pattern to the envelope and liner.

Sentiment:  I'm so glad you were born!

This trio of a matching card, envelope & liner combination makes for beautiful florals on the outside and inside of the envelope.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.

Matching magnolia bird card, envelope liner & gift tag set.

Hi there.  This is a matching card, envelope and gift tag set make with stamping, Copics and magnolia patterned paper.

Sentiment:  Sing a song of hope.

Here are helpful tips for creating this.  Trim a background card panel from magnolia paper.  Then, trim or die-cut an envelope liner with coordinating paper.  Next, using the excess paper, trim and fold the paper to make a gift tag.   Then, stamp the bird and the sentiment onto cardstock, color it in and then fussy cut the bird and floral branch.  Also, trim the sentiment layer.  Finally, assemble the card, the gift tag and the envelope liner.  

Envelope liner:  Cut 5" x 4 " and score from the short end at approximately 2-3".  Or cut to match your envelope.

Gift tag:  Cut 6" x 3" and score from the long end at 3".

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.

Matching bird card, envelope and liner + video tutorial.

Today, for Technique Time at Unity, I have four ways to create coordinating paper crafts.  Here is a tutorial and video showing a matching card, envelope and liner.

Sentiment:  Just a card to brighten your day.

Here are helpful tips for creating this.  To begin, pre-cut the sentiment topper, the image panel and the card base.  Next, stamp the sentiment and the scene elements using Copic friendly ink.  Then, color in the bird scene with Copics or other mediums.  Next, mask the edges of the scene panel.  Then add two shades of distress oxide ink blending around the scene panel.  Once finished, remove the washi or masking tape.  Also, heat set everything.  Finally, assemble the layers to finish the card.

For envelope art, die-cut or trim an envelope liner from thin paper.  Next, stamp the liner panel with flowers using repeat stamping and then color them.  Also, add distress ink around the flowers on the liner, then heat set.  Adhere the liner to the inner envelope flap.  Finally, to add small details to the outer envelope, stamp the birds on the front corner and on the back flap, if you want.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.
