Clear Envelopes for Crafts

Clear envelopes can be a great crafting medium for scrapbookers, mixed media artists, paper crafters, and rubber stampers.  When stamping on clear envelopes, you will need to use an ink that is meant for that type of surface.  Staz-on ink is a good one to try.  This type of ink is quick drying and made of a type of ink that clings to many different surfaces.  Rubber stampers may like using clear envelopes as a layer in their artwork.  Tiny clear glassine envelopes look especially nice on greeting cards.  You can put a little collection of dried flowers in one and attach it to the front of a handmade card.
