Happy Tuesday, all! Last week I shared a fun envelope idea and many of you asked for more envelope ideas so here we go! I have three different ways to add glitter and shimmer to your envelopes using shimmer pastes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The first way is to use a stencil and bring the glitter paste in on only one edge. I used the Diamond stencil<\/a> from Hero Arts and two different colors of paste. I combined the pastes in the middle for a bit of an ombr\u00e9 look. The colors I used are\u00a0Nuvo Glimmer Paste in Pink Opal<\/a> and Viva Decor Glitter Paste in Fuchsia<\/a>. This envelope is a black A7 Envelope from Paper Source<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My second idea is to smear the glitter paste using a palette knife. I isolated the smears to just one corner so that I would have enough room for the mailing address and postage. I used the Viva Decor Fuchsia<\/a> again, plus added two colors of Cosmic Shimmer Paste in Vivid Violet<\/a> and Lavender Mist<\/a>. This envelope is from Simon Says Stamp in the color Metallic Lavender<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The third idea is super simple. I used sticky notes to mask off the address area and then smeared some Golden Crystal Glimmer Paste<\/a> from Nuvo from the edges. This highlights the mailing address. TIP:<\/strong> To make the spacing a bit easier for this design, I recommend writing the address first, and then masking it off with a sticky note and adding the paste. This envelope is a Beet A2 envelope from Paper Source<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The envelopes were addressed using both the Medium White\u00a0Posca Marker<\/a> and Extra Fine White Posca Marker<\/a>, as well as the Lettermate Envelope Addressing Stencil<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I hope you all loved the glittery ideas for envelopes! Thanks for stopping by! :)<\/p>\n
