Inspired by Lavender 💜 | 5x7 Card with a Hidden Envelope | Mintay Papers Week 21

Happy Tuesday!

I hope you have a fabulous day!

Welcome back to another project for the ‪@mintaypapers‬ Challenge! #MintayCardChallenge and #MintayOneCardAWeek 

Today I'm sharing my project for Week 21 – Inspired by a Smell. 

This week's prompt made me think of one of my favourite fragrances—lavender—so I reached for the beautiful 'Lavender Dream' collection from Mintay Papers. 💜🌿

I created a 5x7 inch handmade card, but this card has a little surprise... 💜 There's an envelope on the FRONT of the card! I created a white envelope using the Ultimate Pro from Crafter's Companion and then adhered it to the front of the card, turning the envelope into part of the card design. I coloured the edges of the envelope using 'Villainous Potion' and 'Dusty Concord' Distress Oxide inks and decorated it with fussy-cut elements from the 'Lavender Dream' collection. 

I love how this idea transforms a simple envelope into an important part of the card itself!

This is my interpretation of the “Inspired by a Smell” challenge prompt, using lavender as the inspiration for both the colours and the beautiful floral design. If you enjoy Mintay Papers, Lavender Dream, handmade cards, unusual card ideas, interactive cards, fussy cutting and paper crafting, I hope this project inspires you to try something similar. 

What smell would inspire you to create a card? 🌸💜 

Happy crafting! ✂️
