Card - Challenge - HB Envelope

I made this card to meet a few challenges.
Designer Paper - I started with the patterned paper by Webster Pages - Kickball.
Envelope - I made the envelope with the Sizzix Scallop Envelope Bigz die by Stampin Up.  I used a watercolored turquoise paper which I warmed up with Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Stain because it was too white for the DSP.  I stamped the greeting in warm green with a small SU stamp.
Masculine HB - The colors were quite masculine, so to add to that feeling, I hid the scallop edge of the envelope with a small card which was the same color as the card and just fit inside.   I cut the letters HB with the Sizzix Shadow Box dies in complementary colors of light and dark blue green.
Ribbon - I added a length of caramel seam binding across the DSP which I knotted before I adhered the envelope to the front.

I'm submitting this card to the following challenges:
1. Daring Card Makers - Envelope
2, Hazel's Patterned Paper - February
3. Crazy For Cards - C4C271 - Masculine HB

Card - Just a Note Enclosure

I created these small cards for a challenge to make small cards under 3.5x3.5 inches.

I used leftovers from a previous project.  I cut the layers on top with Spell Binder Labels B Presto dies.  The glitter paper with the larger one and the solid card stock with the medium one.  I selected Tempting Turquoise and Pink Passion to stamp the butterfly and the sentiment.  These are small clear stamps I bought at Michaels years ago.  The envelope is cut with the Scallop Envelope Stampin' Up! Bigz Die from heavy text weight paper.  It is glued to create an end opening instead of a top opening. See this project for my inspiration.
