Good morning, everyone!
The other day I was flipping through my copy of the July/August issue of Paper Crafts magazine.

While flipping through, I happened across this adorable note card set by Amber Daigre. Isn’t it just the cutest thing? Besides those creatively stamped note cards, pay special attention to her clever envelope box!

It’s like a little gem hiding there in plain sight. And guess what? The template is available for free, right here in the download section of the Paper Crafts magazine website. Sweet!
I was able to quickly and easily download the template, print it, and create my own version! It’s such a great blank canvas to decorate any way you please.
I did mine up with some fresh new My Mind’s Eye papers and it is the perfect thing to house a gift certificate that I purchased for my mom’s birthday.
So speaking of templates and patterns, have you visited the download section of the Paper Crafts site lately? Sometimes I forget what a great resource it is! So many great templates, patterns, and printable sentiments, all at no cost! A couple of my favorites from the latest July/August issue are Heidi Van Laar’s clever Biggest Fan Card, which you see on the cover, and Megan Aaron’s pretty Aloha Flower Card on page 39, which was shown in this blingy blog post. Such cute and clever ideas, right at your fingertips.
If you’ve used one of our downloads recently, I’d love to hear about it! Leave me a comment telling me about your project. Or better yet, link us up so we can see!
Click, print, enjoy…

Thanks so much for the download patterns. I wanted to download that cute envelope pattern — which I did – thanks! On my way to that pattern, I found the ketchup bottle – that is the coolest thing and I am going to use that to make a birthday card for my youngest son who LOVES ketchup on everything!!! Thank you so much!
Thank you. I love that envelope and will definately use it.
I love, love, love these envelopes! Love what you talented ladies did with them as well.
I have used the downloads occassionally….but would definitely use them more if I knew how to resize them??? The info might be available on line, but I haven’t been able to find it (probably just my middle aged eyes not seeing it !!!) If not, then perhaps a small section on the steps required to resize the images….just a suggestion

Thanks for the reminder about the downloads – I always forget they are there, I have not used any yet, but I will be sure to check them out – the envelope is cute – who can’t use that!?!?
And, yet again, I die when I open a Betsy post.
AWESOME, BV!!!
Thanks for letting me know about the downloads! I will check them out for sure.
Adorable projects!
Way cute envelope box! Both projects are gorgeous
I always forget about the free downloads, thanks for the reminder!
Love this idea for those cards are a bit too thick for a regular envelope, thanks!
