Gift Envelope

Hello, everyone!  Today I'm sharing a gift envelope!  I made this a few months ago to enclose some happy mail for a crafty friend!  (If I can fnd the YouTube tutorial I followed, I will link it.)

The adorable bear is Beccy's Place Loving Stanley, and I used the precoloured version, fussy-cut, and popped up with foam tape. Behind Stanley I used some die-cut doilies (the pink one was a gift from Gail S., thank you!).  The patterned paper is from my old 12x12 stash (Carson Dellosa) and I tore one of the edges to add some texture.  At the top and bottom I added some thin washi tape, and I used my Recollections butterfly punch with some sequins for embellishments.  The sentiment die is Simon Says Stamp Painted Hello.

Here's a photo of the back of the envelope. The flap is kept closed with a velcro semicircle.

I added another punched butterfly on the flap, and I stamped my "Handmade by" stamp (Joy Clair custom stamp) at the bottom.
