Thankful, so thankful: Envelope Liners

I purchased this Martha Stewart "THANKS" hole punch recently. Punches are a great way to add detail to any craft project, and I knew this one would get a lot of use. It would be perfect for the wedding thank you cards I'm in the process of making (still waiting for my pro photos to add to the cards) and for any thank you cards in the future.

While gathering ideas together of how and where to use the punch, I remembered the envelope liners I created using another Martha Stewart punch. The detail was fun and allowed me to use a plainer paper but gave me a great design effect, so why not do the same with this punch?


Here is a close up of the punch. Cute and charming, with polka dots that match all the paper circles we had at the wedding.


I started with a paper cut to fit the inside size of the envelope.


Then punched one of the sides.


Placed it inside and glued.


And there you go. An extra note of thanks to guests :)

Easy, quick, and fun. Just the type of diy project for a late week night.

Do you own Martha Stewart punches? Aren't they the cutest and easily utilized?
