This week is my week over at The House that Stamps Built for the pick of the week. I chose to share a really quick and easy technique that adds fun and that wow feature to the envelope of your card. All you need are an embossing machine, embossing folders and a square back envelope.
With Christmas coming up I am thinking a few/most/some of us have started Christmas cards. What a nice touch this will add to your envelope flap and talk about easy.
I used a full size embossing folder as well as a small narrow folder. I was going through my embossing folders I saw several that will work for Christmas. Use the sandwich that your machine recommends.
I usually decorate the front of my envelopes especially on my Christmas cards and I had the stamps that went with these two embossing folders I choose.
For the snowflake envelope I used 8914-E Snowflake solid small and for the poinsettia envelope I used 2015-D Tiny poinsettia .
Play around with some of your embossing folders and I think you will be pleased with the results.

The embossed envelopes are so pretty and elegant looking! I forgot to do this as it's a great way to subtly dress up an envelope! Thanks for the great inspiration friend!
I'm not sure why, but I couldn't read your blog today. I could see the pictures just fine, but not the text - it was just a series of solid white lines. I like the idea of using some of he smaller embossing folders to emboss envelopes, though. I think I have that narrow Christmas one. I need to get it out and give it a try.
Great idea Shirley!
