Monthly Mail Art with Kristina Werner – December 2017
Hello, all! Kristina Werner here with another Monthly Mail Art! Today I created two envelopes with similar designs, an ivory metallic envelope and a black envelope.
For both envelopes, I cut a circle out of masking paper using one of the dies in the Nested Circles die set. I placed the circle masks on the center of each envelope. I also cut some snowflakes out of masking paper using the Felicity Snowflake, Joy Snowflake, and Bliss Snowflakes dies.
I applied the snowflake masks to the black envelope, and then ink blended some Golden Glitz Delicata ink over the top. Once the masking was removed, the pattern of the snowflakes was left behind.
For the ivory envelope, I ink blended three Distress Oxide ink colors from the edge of the circle mask: Peacock Feathers, Faded Jeans, and Black Soot. Before removing the circle mask, I stamped snowflakes from Tim Holtz’s Mini Swirly Snowflakes stamp set in the same Golden Glitz Delicata ink.
The name of the recipient on each envelope was addressed using a gold paint pen. As for mailing addresses, I used a white Gelly Roll pen on the black envelope, and a black Pilot Envelope Addressing pen on the ivory envelope.
NOTE: Mailing addresses used with permission. Thank you, Kristine and Kathy!
I hope you enjoy today’s envelopes! :)

Awesome Kristina, these envelopes will never be thrown away. Thanks for this great inspiration!
What a great idea!
WOW! Gorgeous envelopes! I get tired by the time I finish my card, and hardly have energy left, but this made me WANT to decorate the envelopes:)
Beautiful mail art, I love it!
Wow ! These are two absolutely great envelopes, so perfect for the holidays ! [email protected]
What a great and beautiful eye popping envelope!! This is a great hint to what is inside the envelope. This technique can be used on all special cards, such as presents on a birthday card, or flowers on a just because to a friend or mothers day card. I will definitely be using to add so some special cards I am sending out this Christmas to make the reciever feel extra extra special!
Thank you for showing us something special!
Wow! Beautiful! These have to be two of my favorite envelopes that I’ve seen you create.
