Simple Envelope Decorations

As I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, I love chiyogami. It’s pretty, versatile, and easy to work with.

I love to use is as simple decoration for many different projects and every day items since it add a special touch. The latest is adding faux stamps and seals on envelopes. All you need is a square of chiyogami and a larger square of tissue, secure them to the envelope (or even the letter paper), and you’re done. Simple.

In a day where technology takes over our lives, it’s rare to see hand written letters sent via snail mail. I personally love writing and receiving letters in the mail, it’s more personal and special than a plain old e-mail.
To make the receiver feel happy and special, I love to dress up the mail, either with pretty stickers or making my own faux seals with tissue and chiyogami -mainly because they are just so lovely!

Next time you feel like sending someone an e-mail just to say “hello”, try sending them a surprise in the mail to let them know just how special they are to you!
