First of all I coffee dyed my envelopes then dried in the oven.
I then covered the backs of the envelopes with mod podge and covered with patterned napkins then glued the evelopes together with the flaps.
The fronts were then covered in paper from The Works and images I have had for yonks-think they were from a CD and had Man About Town printed on them,I distressed these and addes a few stamps/die-cut and punched border/hessian butterfly and corrugated card -to fasten I added string attached with a metal brad.

Now to decide how to decorate the cards to go in the envelope pockets --just had a thought-may add some stamped postcards I received in a swap--or put three inside and send for a swap --that sounds a better idea.Now it's not perfect but for a first try I am more than well pleased!!!
Thank you for dropping by and all your comments are much appreciated-hope you find the time to join us this month.

Oh, my! These are beautiful! I'd probably scorch them or start a fire. Maybe that would add to the vintage look. Really, though, you're very crafty and always doing something interesting!

Carol, this is just outstanding work. Needless to say, I will spend my afternoon trying out this technique. I was going to do another napkin project using freezer paper but this technique looks like so much more fun to undertake.
Your work is incredible, thanks for the inspiration!
