I recently acquired several 7 1/4" X 5 1/4" envelopes at a garage sale. They were included with some fabulous cards that I purchased. However, they were sealed shut. So I decided to make one into a tag holder/Mother's Day card. I just sliced the top open, folded the card in half and sewed along that edge, then I just embellished it! Many of these free images came from either the Graphics Fairy or Shabby Chic Papirskatter. Thanks for stopping by my nest!

This is so pretty! I love all of the images and the papers you have used. That flower looks interesting...like string. Where did you get that? It's really cute! Great way to use those envelopes.
How clever! It turned out beautifully!

Amazing Robin! You clever wench you! Never thought about using envelopes before...you've opened up a whole new medium!
Great idea and the cards turned out beautiful. I, too, snagged that Mother's Song image and have used it on a shadowbox.

What a great idea! Beautiful card.
Lots of vintage-y goodness here, Robin. Love the tag holder made from envelopes. ( I think this fits in perfectly with this week's Tag Tuesday challenge, too:)
Fantastic way to use those envies! This card is a treasure and I thank you for sharing your ART! Diann
Well, that's cool! Were the cards inside the envelopes? Were the envelopes all addressed to someone?
Gosh, you just never know what you'll find at a garage sale!
Pretty, Robin!!
