Personalized Stationary
September 26, 2008
Have you ever wanted to have your own personalized stationary? Below are instructions on how to make your own. You can make one or even twenty. It’s all up to you!
-
Supplies:
• Envelope – used or new (whatever you may have on hand) that will hold a 4.25″x5.5″ card
• Scrapbook Paper – for envelope and note card
• Card Stock – for note card
• Pencil – for tracing
• Scissors – for cutting
• Glue Stick – for securely gluing sides of envelope
-
Envelope:
1. Open envelope by pulling apart each seam.
2. You should end up with a unfolded piece of paper, that may look something like this, similar to a diamond.
3. Make sure opened envelope fits on scrapbook paper.
4. Turn paper over so that when you trace around the envelope it is on the blank side. You can hold the envelope down with your hand or something heavy.
5. I used a pretty rock – painted by my lovely sister – to hold it still while I traced.
6. Trace along edges with a pencil.
7. Cut out scrapbook paper along traced edges.
8. Fold sides inward, making sure the front side of the paper is facing outwards.
9. Once all four sides have been folded in, as the envelope was, it should look something like this.
10. Take the glue stick and glue just along the edge of the of the bottom flap.
11. Fold narrow sides in, and press the bottom flap on top of them. Make sure that no glue went outside of the edge, because if it did, the envelope will not open very easily.
12. There you have it! Your own homemade envelope.

Card:
13. Cut card stock in half to make an 8″x5.5″ piece.
14. Fold in half to make a 4.25″x5.5″ card.
15. Design the cover of the card in the way you would like it to be. I used punches to cut out different shapes out of white card stock and scrapbook paper. You can also use other embellishments, or just give the card a simple front of just scrapbook paper.
The finished product. I hope you enjoy making your own personal stationary!
If you have any crafts that you would like me to make and post about, please let me know.
I’m always on the lookout for ideas.
While living the life my Lord has blessed me with, I am at home with my family enjoying being a daughter, homemaker and artist. My highest goal is to give glory to God and enjoy Him forever. It is He that has saved me with His amazing grace and is continually molding me; to Him I owe everything. Read more . . .
OH! those are so cute! I love them. I am still trying to get the items to make that notebook and now I so want to do this too! :)
Are those Bre’s fingers? Were you the photographer? ;)
Great job, Emily! I love all the things you come up with!
Love,
Amanda

Joyfully,

Hello,
I love that staitionary!!! I know what I’ll be doing tomorrow afternoon. I don’t have much scrapbooking stuff though so it might not be quite as nice.

Thanks for the comment.
There are still a lot of books to read…I felt almost helpless amongst all of those great works or art. Some are creepy books. :)
And I hope the birds and Jenna were good for you. I also wonder…how did Foggy do strangers? I can almost promise that he can sense when I am in the pen. For I must reek with fear…and vulnerability.
And now you know how it feels to see your cousin with a LARGE dog…I always felt like Charlie was a monster to Jenna, now Bently is the miniature compared to Jenna. I have always wanted to say that…lol
And I am also excited to see Fireproof…we were going to see it this weekend…but we went to B.B. instead. But there is always time to see it. Did Mr. B go with you to see it, or was it only the girls?
Have a Great Day!
Love
Your Cousin

Wonderful idea!
I’ve just found your blog and have enjoyed a short perusing! I also enjoy making different crafts and it looks like we have similar tastes.
I was wonderful what you do to organize your craft items? Right now all of my paper, scissors, and such are in a drawer.
Not quite for lack of space but lack of imagination as how to creatively put everything in order!
Have a lovely day,
E
