I've made the four different styles of envelopes here so you can see what they look like. The envelopes are flat, so they would fit something like a smaller flat fun-size candy bar, a gift card, or some cash. You could also use it as "surprise" Holiday outings or activities … [Read more...] about Rustic Christmas Kit
