Today I'm sharing a couple envelopes I made to give a season-ending little something to the fellows who mow our lawn for us. They're dependable and do a great job, so I like to give them something extra at the end of the growing season just to say "thanks" for a job well-done.
I created these envelopes by measuring around a bill and adding enough overlap for flaps. I decorated the fronts with die-cut stitched panels done with a MFT die, along with some Lawn Fawn autumn-themed designer paper and die-cut stitched leaves. The backs have a little tag with their name on them and a smaller leaf sealing the envelope. The Thanks was done with a Taylored Expressions die. Guys don't care much about the envelopes anyway - they're interested in what's inside, right? 😉
I'll share these with the Sisterhood of Crafters "Give Thanks" challenge.
Thanks for the visit, I wish you all a good day today and a great weekend ahead too.

Nailed it... I looked at these and straight away I saw a birdseye view of a garden, that is brilliant and ties in so well with the reason your little gift envelopes are being given. Honestly these are just the best :) x
