Jul 01, 2005 4 Replies

OMG was all that I could say when I opened the really wonderfully thought about card and read the message inside (sniffing!) Then it hit me, it was the "mail art" card Kenda had written about in here this week I think.



WOW, TY so much and especially to think you think I am a special friend!! LOL!!



Then as WE all in here know now, NOTHING LOOKS the same in real or person as it does in a picture, especially on line. I really like the colors and it gives me some ideas too.



One question, how did you make the envelope? It that a pattern or something that ya'll use? Also what was/is the black stuff on te buckle? it peeled off and is really kinda full static cling and a pain to get off of fingers.



Anyhow Thank You again Kenda, you as well ALL in this cotton mammie group are SPECIAL to me!!! (all choked up can't even tink straight to type write!)

Yeah you got it!!! I was hoping you'd like it! Heeheeheee. Glad I could give you ideas. Now as far as the envelope goes I use Fiskars shapecutter, they have an envelope pattern. It's great, lets you make an envelope to match your card. You should try the "mail art" it's alot of fun, and gives one something relatively small to practice on. The buckle??............huh that was a soda tab that I embossed. Guess it didn't make it through the mail very well, lesson learned, pad it slightly.

That Fiskars envelope pattern maker is it like a template or something? Does it make different size envelopes? Are there others then like maybe a coluzzle? That is something that I think I could use, oh something else to add to my colection, but I don't think I have seen one.

You know what Dave...I'll tell you what I did once...I undid an envelope and used it for a pattern and made one myself. It was fun and no one knew it was homemade.LOL

It's a template, you use their shape cutter. Only makes one size envelope. I love using it because I can make an envelope out of an 81/2 x 11 sheet of paper. and it fits most cards I make. I'll try to remember to show you next time I see you.
