Still looking for some fun Christmas crafting ideas? This week I had so much fun creating a Loaded Christmas Envelope — a pretty pocketed envelope that is the present.

On today's YouTube Video (replay below), I'll share how to make this super cute loaded envelope (it's got pockets!😄) and five coordinating pieces you can gift together with the envelope or use for different gifts. (3 gift tags, a gift card holder + 1 card). It was fun to create with the beautiful Traditions of Christmas Suite again!

The Envelope

I wanted to create an envelope that would fit the projects I made today, like a full sized card, a gift card holder & gift tags, but I was also picturing it as something where you could tuck in a fun hot chocolate package or even a flat chocolate (like a Ghirardelli)

Pockets: If you've ever taken one of my classes, you know that I love to add in a little pocket where I can! And this one has 3!
- If you watch the video I'll also share how you can tweak how you put it together and create a pocket on the back for a double sided effect.

Gift Tags

My goal for these was to keep them simple. Something that would be easy to recreate no matter the supplies you have.

Simple Circle: I used a 2 3/8" circle punch for the tags. Punch one circle in the DSP and a second in cardstock to put on the back so you can still write someone's name on it.
Tip: Just use the beautiful Traditions of Christmas DSP as the tag, or cut out some of the flowers too from the DSP for an easy embellishment.

Gift Card Holder

This is another simple project. Just a couple cuts & folds and you're done.

To seal the envelope, you can just tuck the flap behind the circle.

Card

The Traditions of Christmas Specialty DSP is really so pretty on its own that I find it looks best when you don't cover it up too much.

This simple layout will be easy to copy with all the patterns of the DSP and you can also easy change up the sentiments.
