Sweet Tidings 8th Day of Christmas: DIY Kraft Christmas Cards and Envelopes
I just love Japanese wooden envelope templates. They're so great for every handmade stationery project you can think of. I love the appeal of kraft paper too. So simple, rustic and understatedly natural.
For the holiday season, make use of your wooden envelope template (or buy from here or from ETSY) to create charming, homemade kraft paper cards and envelopes. They're so eco-friendly too. Make it a green Christmas!
