Steps:
- Stamp a frame onto the front of the Envelopment using white pigment ink pad. Shake white embossing powder over the wet image. Shake off excess powder and pour it back into the container. Heat with an embossing tool until the powder melts.
- Write the address in the frame opening using LePlume pens.
- Cut a paper mat to fit inside the Envelopment and trim a photograph to fit inside.
- Cut two pieces of card stock about 1/4" smaller all around than the paper mat and trim remaining two photographs to fit inside.
- Run both the mats and photos, right side up, through the Xyron Adhesive Laminating machine with adhesive only cartridge.
- Emboss a greeting inside the Envelopment.
- Cut a 30" length of sheer ribbon.
- Remove a strip of Xyron backing about 1" wide by tearing it away from one short side of the largest paper mat. Position the mat inside the Envelopment and press to adhere. Bend the mat back so the sticky side is up. Place the center of the ribbon across the center of the Envelopment. Carefully remove the remaining backing and smooth the mat down with the ribbon in between.
- Cut a 12" length of sheer ribbon.
- Remove a 1" strip of the Xyron backing from the largest photograph and center the card on the mat. Tuck 1" of the ribbon under the bottom of the photo. Remove the remaining backing and smooth the card down onto the mat. Let ribbon hang freely from the bottom.
- Lay one of the remaining mats under the ribbon 1/2" from the bottom of the photo where the ribbon is hanging free. Remove a strip of Xyron backing as before and position next photo. Adhere to mat.
- Lay last mat under ribbon 1/2" from bottom of second photo mat where balance of ribbon is hanging free. Clip end of the ribbon to fit inside this mat. Position last photo as in previous steps and adhere.
- Fold up to "nest" inside Envelopment.
- Tie ribbon into a bow. Trim each end of the ribbon at an angle.
- Fold the Envelopment and seal it with a stamp sticker.
- Have the Envelopment weighted for correct postage and hand-canceled by a postal employee for careful handling.
