    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?

    Handmade Envelopes | The Postman's Knock by Lindsey Bugbee

    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.

    Handmade Cards and Envelopes | The Postman's Knock by Lindsey Bugbee

    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”.
