Here is the order of our hop...















Beth (that's me)









If you've come here from my wonderful team mate Celine's blog then you're on the right track!!

Here is what I came up with...
please click on the first image for a closer view/slideshow...
I have been seeing these "loaded envelopes" and thought that I'd give one a go...
I made a three pocket envelope...
DP is from Maja Design "Home for the Holidays" and "Vintage Frost Basics"
I've added lots of ruffled ribbon, lace/rhinestones, cheesecloth and chiffon ribbon...
this is the envelope "loaded"...
 empty...
 some of the tags...
 I used the "Christmas Tree" and "Santa's Reindeer" die cuts from the Aspen Holidays 2016 collection...
 I used a Tim Holtz tag die for the tags...
 the snowflake die is Joy Craft 6002/2019...
 more tags...
 the top of the envelope...
bow is cheesecloth, pearl strand and pink chiffon ribbon...
I added a snowflake diamante charm and somewhere there are two small pine cone charms...
the snowflake is Crealies CL CF 18...
 love this gorgeous reindeer die cut...
 and last is "Me and My Snowman" from the Aspen Holiday 2016 collection...
coloured with my copics...
dusted with Chunky White Frantage and finished with a frame of white ruffled ribbon and lace/rhinestones...

And that is my first filled/stuffed/loaded envelope!!  It sure was FUN to make but there certainly was a lot of cutting and other work to this!!! 

All materials are listed/linked above.
