Beautiful Life Marci Asian Loaded Envelope

This project was inspired by the recent trend to make loaded envelopes to swap. Tutorial to make this style of expanded envelope is by Michelle Rudolph - her You Tube Channel link found here. A similar loaded envelope was made at the 2017 La-la Land Crafts Annual Retreat which has been previously posted here. Papers used for this project: Graphic 45 Bird Song Collection - Joy Luck (retired), Recollections Red, Black card stock, Kelly Papers Gold card stock, Core-dinations White Gemstone card stock. The recipient of this loaded envelope swap can utilize many of the items to create something special. 

 Here are my 6 packaged loaded envelopes ready for the swap: My swap needed to be packaged so the contents would not fall out.

 The Year of the Dog Lottery Ticket used as a tag made the perfect finishing touch.
