This week our challenge from the TGIF Challenges team is to create a decorated envelope. I came into my stamping room with a pretty floral covered envelope in mind but that's not what happened. I pulled out my Peaceful Place designer series paper pack (#156394, available beginning August 3), turned on my Brandon Lake gospel album, House of Miracles, and created in the peace of His presence.
I created the 6-1/2" x 4" envelope out of one of the paper patterns in Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Basic Black and Silver. I used a long retired envelope template with a rounded flap on one end. The envelope was wrapped in silver Metallic Mesh ribbon (# 153550) which holds the flap on the back of the envelope closed.
The greeting is from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set (#156395, available beginning August 3). It was stamped in Versamark on Basic Gray card stock, heat embossed with Silver Stampin' Emboss Powder (Metallics set, #155555), and then die cut using a Tasteful Labels die (#152886).
The envelope is decorated with Pearl Basic Jewels (#144219) and Wonderful Snowflakes (#156340, available beginning August 3). This envelope will be used for a gift card and note during the Christmas holidays. I'll be making more of them!

May you find and enjoy peace today!
