HNY to Nanski

Last of the New Year's env.'s!
had fun with this, including the stamp:



I was tempted to color in her name (or rather, the N), but decided to keep as-is, as I was afraid of ruining it.
With insert.

Winter Swap to Stela (SMC)

 I signed up for a 1:1 winter swap in Dec. for the SMC, and I got such lovely, fun goodies from Stela! Hope she liked what all I sent:

Mix of altered uncial and pp for her name.
Again, this is a matching env. & card set from donating.

Items sent:
Bees bookmark (donation piece), matching stickers, original insert and 2 minilopes with mini Cmas inserts (see below).

Bday to Jessica

This is the last of my Midori envelopes I got from P&I a few years ago:


I was going to do a circle print insert to match the env., but decided to just go with the lettering.
B-nib to match her name.

I sent her a 2nd one, just to spoil her! Very plain, but another "treat" inside (forgot to take pic, but just a b-day card).

Nele, Snail & new "technique"

I did this back in Sept/Oct for my 21 Days Challenge (21 days of brush lettering) and came up with a bit of a new "technique" -- I letter the words close together, so they can connect, and then, color in the space between.

Snail themed env. and rainbow colors.

brush insert and same idea

Mini env. w/brush lettering again.

Misc Bday

Did these last year. Although I like, they're a bit too simple to post on their own, so am grouping together!

These first two are similar, using pp and decorative elements:




Back flap "hb"

Then, some akim to Lynne!

Misc. Cmas

Here are some extra holiday env.'s sent out, that weren't that special to post on their own, so I'm grouping together!

This first one is a printed set I got for free from donating.



This next one is handmade from the usps catalogue.

I thought the "dot" print heart stamp went great with it.


A minilope and tree.

insert w/another minilope to Amy (I did a gingerbread house to Amy, and of course, after, I thought of the Rudolph nose. So, that's the reason for the addressed mini env!)
The insert was my attempt at a joke from The Office.



Some gift tags.


Small env. & card to Carly, my pers. trainer!
