Easter cards & envelope problems...

Well I managed to get my had-to-do-boring-things done yesterday afternoon and had time to sit down and make some Easter cards. These are based on a card I saw in the latest issue of Papercraft Inspirations. I started off drawing my own bunny template (based on the card in the magazine), a template for his paws, inner ear and also an egg. Then it was time to have some fun...

I went though my cardstock scraps (kept in a 12x12 ziplock bag) and found some nice and bright Easter colours. Together with some pens and patterned scissors I managed to create some (what I hope is...?) rather cute Easter cards. :)

Yet again I found myself in the same position I have been in every time for the last year when I have made birthday cards etc. My cards are done and the next thought is ---> envelopes! Panic! I never have any (apart from boring "standard office ones"). Usually I can get around it by just packing the card together with the present. But for Easter...of course I needed some envelopes that fit my non-standard-size cards. I ended up trying to make some out of cardstock. Not so pretty, but they wil do the job. Anyway, I decided this time I HAD to do something about the ongoing envelope problem...

I have seen these envelope-making-boards in the past and thought of those straight away. I tried to find some reviews/opinions of them on the internet but wasn't having much luck. So in the end I just decided to order (!) one. I hope it was the right decision. If you have one, I'd love to hear what you think of it please...?
