1 more Loaded Envelope to share today, 

this time for baby girl

I changed the envelope design

as I wasn't happy thing were getting crushed in the box style.

Loaded Envelope

Bucket style which as a rounded envelope

this one holds a lot more

I didn't give this one side seams 

instead I just curved the front folds and didn't join them as tight.

I had to make a concertina base, 

so that it expanded to fit the new shape.

Cute little dressed teddy in the one.

I added 2 handmade paper and lace dresses

Back view of the envelope 

which has a pocket for even more goodies

Everything from the front pocket.

handmade toppers, and tags, some baby verses and greetings which are matted and layered with a selection of of Baby die-cuts, pre-cut images, bag of baby tags. bag of lace, bag of ribbon, flowers and bag of embellishments, enough to make about 20 cards, with 2 baby pleated pin wheels, 

a little dress teddy, and 2 handmade paper and lace baby dresses.
