Hi Everyone, I have discovered a new love for wax paper now that I have discovered how to make these gorgeous glassine bags . Sometimes, I make cards that are a little bulky, due to the addition of embellishments ,or are too square for a regular envelope, and although I do have an envelope punch board, I love the opportunity these glassine bags give me to decorate and match the card I want to send within it. Here is a few examples of some bags I made: Glassine Bag #1- She Believed she could so she did This glassine bag is a combination of papers by Kaiser, Lattice Frameworks Die By Sizzix and washi tape. I also used my Martha Stewart Lace Punch to create a pretty lace pattern along the edge of the bag Glassine Bag #2- Alder Tree This design once again, uses various pattern paper from previous Kaiser collections as well as the Alder Tree Die from Memory box and the Arrow die from Technique Tuesday Heart Card Steel die. I also did a little bit of stamping using Me...

Check out my Australia Day post as a guest designer at:   Aunty Vera's Scrap & Craft   Here are a few more cards that didn't make that post: Card 1: Australia For this card, I tried to simulate the red earth of the Aussie desert as well as the long distance between us and anyone else. I used paper from the Kais...
