DIY Envelopes

DIY EnvelopesI had several penpals when I was a kid, and I had so much fun picking out pretty stationery, using colorful pens, and sending out happy mail. Since I have gotten into bullet journaling I have run across a lot of other people who share a similar love of stationery and happy mail, and I have picked up a few pen pals. It has been so much fun to swap letters with fun stickers, and pretty stationery! One thing I noticed is that a lot of pen pals make their own envelopes. Considering my love for all things paper, I can’t believe I have never tried DIY envelopes before! 

I’ve been wanting to do a tutorial for envelopes for a while, but as I started researching I realized that I could get Silhouette cut files to make envelopes! If you aren’t already convinced you need a Silhouette, this should push you over the top! 

envelopeIn about 5 minutes I put together this cute little envelope. For full-sized envelopes I would increase the size of the file.

I also got this scalloped envelope file.

DIY EnvelopesIf you don’t have a Silhouette machine, there are tons of tutorials for making envelopes by hand, too.

This tutorial is as easy as folding a square piece of paper. And did you know you can make an envelope from a heart? 

DIY EnvelopesI love these wooden envelope templates that make it fool-proof to cut out the correct size and shape ever time. There is also a plastic version.

Whichever template or tutorial you choose to follow, this is a fun way to use up scrap paper and adds a fun, personal touch to a card or letter. I am a huge proponent of writing real letters, so I hope this encourages you to send some cheer to someone’s mailbox soon!

Instagram post 2190200971008077132_359130 It’s been a minute since this @aura.estelle was my every day carry, but I am loving it to track what I’m reading and to use as a notebook. I just finished Lilac Girls. Lots of thoughts on that one! Recommendations on what I should read next?

I’m in planner limbo right now so not much to share in that department, but as I’m sitting here staring out my office window I was tempted to complain that we got more snow.  Instead, I’m going to choose to find joy in the fact that I woke up this morning, able to wiggle my toes. Many people were not so fortunate.

Instagram post 2188009449885875147_359130 I don’t judge anyone who went our Black Friday shopping today. If something bad caught my fancy I may have purchased it. But a slow morning spent making cinnamon rolls and watching movies with my boys seems more valuable than any TV I would have bought this morning. .

Instagram post 2184428413142939593_359130 Remember how I said I had my 2020 planner system all figured out? Ok, maybe I was getting ahead of myself. The Leuchtturm just isn’t going to work for a planner for me. I.cannot.do.a.Monday.start. •
So it’s back to the drawing board. I’m not buying another planner, I’m using what I have + experimenting with a digital component this year. •
What are you in for 2020?

Instagram post 2183790895728886022_359130 You might have been following my crazy decluttering this week. What can someone who has been a minimalist for almost a decade possibly declutter? Turns out, quite a bit.
•
Over time our lifestyles change. Priorities change. And even tastes change. By going through everything on a regular basis I can stay on top of it, and I can spend the afternoon catching up on a book instead of cleaning. That is why I keep doing it!

Instagram post 2182206702745842857_359130 Got my 2020 planner today. I will be using a B6 @leuchtturm1917usa monthly planner notebook. It basically bullet journaling with some structure. I’m so excited to get back to basics and not be swayed by every new fad or trend, and no need to spend more than the planner cost on stickers every month. I’m going to keep my personal rings for backup/lists etc for now, and I am using @moleskine sticky notes for tabs, forward planning etc. •
Do you have your 2020 planner system decided?

Instagram post 2180181888522942242_359130 My back has been really painful, but I am still trying to be productive! I’m not one of those people who feels guilty about not being productive when I am in pain, but I never want to stop moving!

Instagram post 2178892263917536476_359130 I don’t show my face around here very often, but this week @influenster sent me the @zotosprofessional AGEbeautiful lightener system to try out so I threw a few highlights in my hair. You may or may not know that I’ve been a cosmetologist for 22 years, although I currently only see a few private clients and have been out of the salon for two years due to back problems. .
