  Step 1

  Standard size envelopes
  Iron
  Stencils
  Embossing folders (mine are from Spellbinders)
  Crayons
  Paintbrushes
  Americana Multi-Surface Satin Paints
  Kids sticky foam letters
  Sheets of sticky foam
  Old credit card or hotel key
  3 1/2" x 6 1/2" wood blocks (or bigger)

• 

  Step 2

  For the first stamp just press on tons of sticky foam letters to a wood block
  For the next stamp cut two pieces of foam the size of the block
  Stick them both to the block, one on top of the other
  Using the protective paper, iron the foam until the edges curl
  Quickly press the foam on top of the embossing folder
  Use as much weight and pressure as possible!
  Sometimes I even stand on mine for a minute

  Step 3

  To make the envelopes:
  Slip an embossing folder into an envelope and create a rubbing
  *Like you did when you were a kid
  Scoop some paint onto an old credit card and scrape it across the envelope-
  front and back
  Stencil over everything with another color and let dry
  Coat your large rubber stamp with another color of paint
  Press on to the envelope
  *I like to wipe my large stamps with a damp rag after use to keep them in great shape

  Step 5

  If you want you can
  1. Zigzag around the envelope with a contrasting thread
  2. Stitch fuzzy yarn around the edge of the envelope
  3. Put a fine tip on a bottle of paint and add dimension
  4. Use glue and glitter to add some sparkle
