Holiday Cards {New from Envelopments}

It's never to early to start thinking about holiday cards and invitations. Most find that the holiday season sneaks up on them so Envelopments has put together a few recipes for this winter for you to check out. According to the Greeting Card Association, more than 2 billion holiday cards are purchased in the U.S. each year (and this doesn’t account for the ones that were hand made). And don’t forget about holiday party invitations!

To help make sure you’re getting your share of the “action,” Envelopments has been busy working on holiday designs. We’re thrilled to share with you the first 10 new Featured Recipes as part of the Envelopments 2011 Holiday Collection. We will be sharing more inspirations throughout the month. I personally love the Wingard Family recipe. What do you think?

Something Old...Something New!

Exciting News! our most popular line of papers, Envelopments, is bringing in over 110 new colors and patterns, a slew of new exciting shapes and sizes and new original artwork to incorporate into your designs.

As this short transition period begins, we will be starting the process of moving from our current line to our new stocks. Some stocks have been discontinued by the mills and are no longer available. In other cases we have chosen to replace existing stocks with new ones that are better quality and/or heavier weight, richer and more vibrant colors, and/or more printer-friendly, as well as new environmental options.

Please reference the list of discontinued stocks (below) and contact me right away if you need any of these papers. Many of them are available in limited quantities - so you need to act quickly. You can view swatches of these colors online here.
