Easily Customizable
Use this same layout and just change up the colors! In all of these examples, I left everything the same, but changed out the color of the small pot, stamped leaves and cut out fern!
Color Combinations
I used really trendy colors, but you can choose something more your style! The Pebbled Path card base will work as a great background for tons of colors! Layer black and Very Vanilla on top of that. I used the same color of cardstock for the fern as I did the stamped images. I used black to stamp the small pot and the inside pot and greeting.
Clockwise starting at bottom left:

Making an mini slimline envelope is surprisingly easy and wow are they gorgeous!
Mini Slimline Envelope
Watch the video for all the details, but you can refer to the graphic below for help!
Cut and score as indicated in the measurements. Use paper trimmer to cut along lines as shown in photo to remove the corners (colored in the photo). Use Paper Snips to trim the top and bottom flap at an angle.
Fold and burnish the sides of the envelope. Fold the wider flap in and put a really thin line of glue along the edge. Fold the other side in and press and hold in place. Glue the bottom flap. Add Tear ‘n Tape to the top flap so that it already has adhesive on it when you are ready to send it!
