Mini Paper Envelopes with the Shimelle Collection: A tutorial by Paige Evans
Hi, my name is Paige, and I’m addicted to patterned paper! (Hi Paige!). The more patterned paper I can use on a layout, the better! For this layout I wanted to create a semi-background of mini envelopes using most of the papers in the lovely Shimelle collection.
Die cut fifteen small envelopes from patterned papers.
Fold the envelopes on the score lines.
Glue the envelopes so they hold their shape.
Start building your layout with the envelopes down the center in a 3 × 5 grid. Try tucking small embellishments into the envelopes. Consider adding journaling on a tag in one of them.
Choose a background paper or cardstock then glue everything in place. I usually use cardstock for my backgrounds, but I love the subtle woodgrain pattern of the “Hall” paper.

Most insurance coverage companies do not specify in their car insurance coverage coverage estimates, the specific reductions presented to various guys and females. For instance, the occupation of a person, his degree of schooling and impeccable driving specifics, could win him a a whole lot much better charge than what is laid out in the automobile insurance coverage coverage coverage estimates.
