Spellbinders | Pretty Christmas Envelopes

Hello there, today I have something a little different to share - decorated envelopes! If you have followed me here for a while, you will know that I do like to decorate and create pretty packaging. When I saw the Spellbinders Snowflake Mini Wax Seal, I thought it would be perfect for this purpose! 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off by creating the wax seals using the Spellbinders Wax Seal Starter Kit. I like to melt more wax than needed for these little wax seals, as it gives me a better pour. I also find that I can get multiple seals from one spoon of wax which is helpful! 

For the wax seals, I used Spellbinders Wax Beads Purple Mix for the first one. I actually had some wax left over from a previous project that I remelted. I know that it wasn't just one colour but a mixture, but the colour is similar to the middle colour in the set - Enchanted, but I think there is some Pastel Lilac in there too!

I used Spellbinders Pastel Aqua Wax Beads for the second one. It did take me a while to get the size that I wanted. These mini wax seals really are mini, so you don't need to pour too much wax! Whilst wax seals look great on cards, my favourite way to use them is for packaging, so I grabbed my Hero Arts Dove White Envelopes and some dies and got creating! 

I die cut the holly leaves and pine branches from the Spellbinders Christmas Cracker Etched Dies from Spellbinders Peridot and Rainforest ColorWheel Cardstock. I then took the bow from the Spellbinders Scallop and Stitched Edge Ovals Etched Dies set and die cut it once from Spellbinders Lavender ColorWheel Cardstock and once from Spellbinders Waterfall ColorWheel Cardstock. 

I adhered the foliage first to the envelope flaps using Bearly Art Glue, I then adhered the bows on top (making sure to adhere it above the bottom of the flap so that the envelope will open easily). The wax seals were then adhered on top, cutting down Spellbinders Seal Adhesive Circles to fit the back of them.
