Using the Mixed Media Art DIY Envelope template 

Michelle is playing with the Mixed Media Art DIY Envelope template to create a decorated C6 envelope that can be given as a gift or added to our art journal page, to hide a journaling block or tuck ephemera into it. It’s being decorated with Archival inks, stencils and transfers.

The large DIY Envelope Template makes a C6 envelope from an A4 sized paper, which fits a standard A6 greeting card. The DIY Square Envelope Template makes an envelope that fits a 95mm x 95mm card or booklet.

Then she demonstrates four different ways to add colour to your embellishments, making sure they match your art journal background or mixed media canvas perfectly!

It’s so easy to collect craft supplies and NOT use them but with a few hints and tips like these, you will be ready to get the chipboard out of your stash and put it to good use!
