Looking for ways to switch up your cardmaking game? Well you’re in luck, because today we’ve got a couple tricks up our sleeves (or cards, in this instance!) to help you take things to the next level!

For starters, try decorating your envelopes so they coordinate with your cards.

It’s like creating your own stationery! Getting a beautiful handmade card is already a breath of fresh air, so imagine how much you’ll brighten someone’s day by giving a card with a beautiful, matching envelope.

You can also add stamping to your envelopes. This “Thinking of You” envelope communicates love and empathy before it’s even opened.

Embossing is another great way to make your cards extra special. It’s simple to do, but gives your cards a high-end look.

And while you have your embossing machine out, here’s another fun idea to try—embossing the flaps of your envelopes!
