For those of you who caught my potato stamp blog, you are aware that yesterday I made an adorable potato stamp, which I then used to create a thank you card. And another thank you card. And another thank you card … until I had five. Then I thought, What’s a greeting card without envelopes?
These envelopes are made from the 1964 (?) edition of History of Art by H.W. Janson. The squares of paper for address-writing are from a Minted catalog. Each envelope features lick-to-seal vanilla glue, so they’re all set to go.
I really appreciate everyone who has come to this blog to check out my projects and garner some inspiration; and I’d like to give back in a way besides giving you information. That is, I’d love to give you some thank you cards. These thank you cards, in fact. (But, since I only have five, unfortunately only one person will win them!) Each card is handmade from vintage books and features my lovely potato stamp design. I added pretty, wispy calligraphy to contrast with the heaviness of the “THANKS”.

You used a good idea in making card and envelopes. It costs nothing and are made from waste materials.
even though it’s already too late to enter the giveaway, i don’t regret subscribing because your crafts are amazing! i love sending snail mails to my friend too..and DIY postcards, so your blog is an amazing inspiration
Love your website, Lincoln.
Thanks so much for stopping by, Jessica! I’m very glad to welcome you, and I’ll be doing another giveaway super soon. I’m with you on the snail mail … there’s just something about sending and receiving mail that makes me feel much better than just shooting over a Facebook message or email. “Snail mail” shows a time and material investment that says, “You mean something to me.” I hope future posts will serve to inspire you as well!
Love anything postal and found you and subscribed. Would you please send one of your creations on an envelope to
