Even though our wedding is a year away, it’s never too early to get started on the DIY-ing, especially when you have lazy weekends and girlfriends willing to help out. Our first project was decorating the invitation envelopes. The envelopes were part of the paper supplies we purchased in Thailand. Because the envelopes are nice enough on their own, I chose a simple stamp to decorate one corner. To add some “pizazz”, we then embossed the design. With two people, it was quick work and took less than 30 minutes to do 50 envelopes.
Easy Embossed Envelopes
Supplies:
- Envelopes
- Heat gun, like this
- Rubber stamp
- Embossing ink, like this
- Embossing powder, like these
1. Press rubber stamp onto embossing ink pad
2. Press rubber stamp onto your envelope
3. Sprinkle liberally with embossing powder
4. Tap off excess powder
5. Heat the stamped image until the powder changes to a shiny liquid and rises
6. Let cool
I ordered a personalized return address stamp on Etsy. I’ll post the finished product when the stamp comes and I can emboss the return address on it!
