Workshop Update: More Borders and Bows

Bliss created a whimsical set of cards using the Cricut Reminisce cartridge for her embellishments. I love her borders and the use of the embossed cardstock (my new favorite!). 

Meanwhile, just in the nick of time, I finished my two remaining projects for Sunday's workshop.  I found this super simple treat holder idea on Pinterest.

And I've been wanting to create a project using envelopes, since I have a ton leftover from all my Zazzle orders. I was excited when I found a tutorial on the Paper Source website to create an envelope accordion.  I created a simpler version that can be used to organize lists, notes, and coupons. 

When opened, the accordion has three pockets to corral any type of paper.

A Trip to Paper Source

In one of my first posts of the new year, I talked about creating lined envelopes using tools ordered from Paper Source's website.  On a recent trip to southern California, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Paper Source is not only online, but they have a storefront as well!  We visited the store on State Street in Santa Barbara.

 

 I was drooling over this section of cards and matching envelopes in every imaginable color!

What a fun store! Since I didn't have a project in mind, I controlled myself and only picked up a few items.  I bought some envelope seals and a birthday card kit.  Can't wait to put the kit together...
