I hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was very busy, but what else is new? I use to be so good at prioritizing, but that skill has escaped me. All weekend long I knew I needed to get busy on projects for this week on both blogs, but did I do it...no. Typically I have them done long in advance (now, my Hello Thursday stuff is still done long in advance), but I just cannot get it together lately. I think it is because I may be getting a little burned out. Also, my mojo has left town and I am not sure she is coming back ;-) Fingers crossed I have a better week this week.
Now because I was low on time, I thought I would do a simple project that I have had lots of request for. Last time I made the envelopes using my Imagine you guys loved it! I got lots of sweet emails asking for more. Well, you have got your wish!
Today's envelopes are Valentine envelopes that I made using the Cricut Craft Room, my Imagine, and the Good Old Days Imagine cartridge.
Here is the file:

I love decorating my envelopes because I think it adds a nice touch.
Cute envelopes. I have a question about some of the images you used. If I was to get this set of files and I do not have an imagine can I actually cut and paper piece these images- I mean are there cuts for each layer or are they a waste if you don't have an imagine to print them.
Such cute envelopes and such a great idea. It just finishes off the whole card package! Thanks for sharing and I hope you find your mojo---but I don't think you lost it, it's just resting for awhile. You should too!! Your work is not easy. Remember to take time to love yourself everyday too!! (Long hot bubble baths work wonders!!) :D We would all miss you tremendously if you took a hiatus, but we would all understand. Sometimes a person just has to do that to find themselves again! :D Thanks for all you do!
Darling envelopes, Melanie!
What a great idea! They came out awesome :)
Those look awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Super cute cards! So... question... They say you can use the imagine cartridges on the regular cricuts? Is that true? If so, what does it cut out???
Great inspiration for coordinating envies and cards. Thanks
Very cute. Makes me want an imagine ;)
I was blessed to get the imagine for Christmas. Love the idea of using it to decorate envelopes. I had been using the markers to do it on my E.
Thanks for sharing your ideas and talents with us.

I think my mojo is with yours! I have been struggling for a while now to get back into the crafting groove. I love your envelopes. Thanks for sharing your tips.
Love the envelopes. TFS
You're such a busy lady; I would've gotten waaaay behind a lot earlier than you did. Here's hoping your mojo comes back soon. I love your projects. Cute, cute envelopes.
Love the Envelopes!!! I really want an Imagine. Thanks for Sharing! :0)
Cute envelopes. If I ever get a working Imagine again I will have to try this out. Hope your Mojo returns soon.
Great envelopes!!
Always looking for new ideas for envelopes. Thanks for posting!

Great looking envelopes! Your ideas on a "bad day" still beat most of us on our "good days" - thanks for sharing.
Super idea! They turned out wonderfully!
Thanks for the chance to win. Nice stationary.
Very cute! I always love adding something to my envelopes.
Cute idea. Love the matching envelopes & cards.
cute envelopes and a cute cartridge. My mojo is gone also. My 2nd gypsy up and died. Now the long process of waiting for the mail man... At least theres CCR. but I havent been able to cut in CCR.

VERY CUTE! Sorry to hear you're having a little creative block... I'm sure it will pass soon... I think we all get that way from time to time.... Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next! :o)
Oh these are so cute I see a lot of stuff that can be done with the image I better save up for it cause these are to die for.
Love matching envelopes! So fun!

Cute envelopes! Too bad I don't have an Imagine.
Very cute! TFS!
very cute! Hope you find your mojo again! :)
I think it's always tough to get back in the swing of things after the holidays. The envelopes are really cute! Keep the ideas coming.
What a great idea! These are great. TFS.
Love this cart! Hope you feel better!
What a cute idea for V-day!!! I may try to incorporate it into our V-day cards this year! Too bad I don't have the Imagine or I'd just do that exactly! Precious idea!
What a great idea and so creative! you did a great job! TFS.
Kathryn
I wish I had the Imagine!! I love the envelopes.... I hope your mojo comes back... I know how you feel...maybe you need to take 3 days off total to do only what you want to do... this has helped me...Good Luck.
Your are the best! what would we do without you? These envelopes are not just sweet, they are awesome, even when you say your mojo left town you manage to indulge us with another great proyect! Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day!
Liz
So pretty. Thanks for sharing.
Great job. Do you think we can do that with the regular cricut and markers? Thanks for all you do and share, God bless you and yours. 1205love@gmail.com
I know how you're feeling!! I just got out of my burn out, and my mojo is finally returning. yay!
Hang in there!!
Great envelopes, sooo cute!!
I love these, they look really great! Definitely a new idea for cards!
Love the envelope idea! Wish I had an imagine machine...

These look amazing! great job!
So adorable !! Can't wait to get busy and make some of my own.
these are great! I love to have things that match!
What a nice way to add an extra special touch to your cards! I love the decorated envelopes!
Your envelopes are so cute! I really love this cart too! I hope you will have a wonderful week and I hope that you find your mojo. But have to say that your projects never look like you lost it! :)
Great Idea.
Love your envelopes...a great idea.

i love my Cricut. My husband has bought me many thing over the years. My Cricut is far by the best.
Thank you for sharing your ideas.
They always are so nice!
I love the designs.
very nice designs. tfs.
Ideal stamp set. I can think of so many ideas that this would work well on my scrapbook pages as well as cards.
Sorry your mojo seems to have disappeared, Melanie - mine has, too! Thanks for the instructions for the envelopes.
Wendy T.
I just started subscribing to your blog. I hope I can find some inspiration - I'm kind of lost with my Cricut!
Melanie, you're awesome! It's wonderful that you listen to your followers and give them what they ask for! No wonder you're feeling burned out - I honestly don't know how you do all you do! Everything here is so amazing, too! If mojo's gone, there's a new muse that's taken her place 'cause you're doing great as far as I can tell! Thanks again, so much, really!!!
Nice project. Great idea.
great idea will have to try this...
Love the Valentine envelopes! I've heard so much about the Cricut Craft Room...but I'm not very computer savvy, so I often wonder if I'll be able to be successful with it. This post really makes me feel I should give it a try!
Thanks!

Very nice.
I have not played with my Imagine much, so I have one question for you how do you get it to print and not cut. I probably would find out if I read my guide but have not done it yet. I really like the look of the printing on the envelope. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful!!!
Cute. This would make cute stationary for a bride to be or any other helpless romantic ;)
i like how you match the card with the envelope great job
upnurse at aol dot com
Cute envelopes! The one with the bride & groom could even be used for a wedding. Thanks!
Super cute envelopes. So much you can do with the Imagine.
Cute! I've never done an envelope with a little design in the corner. I tend to do them in the middle right next to where the address/name goes. I like it in the corner though!! Don't have an Imagine, but I use my Expression to just cut and paste the designs on. Adds a fun touch!
Really nice!! I love this idea. Thanks so much.
I don't have this cartridge, but now is a "MUST" have. Great envelope and card sets.
Very nice! I love when envelopes are decorated.
Wow, very retro!
Cute! I love retro!

Once again some beautiful ideas
I love making coordinating envelopes, thanks for the inspiration :)
These are great envelopes. I understand the feeling of being burned out. Sometimes I think we need to take a break from our routines (more than just a day or two).
Cute envelopes!
really nice, great idea on the envelope
I love the envelopes! But please take care of yourself and don't get so burned out you want to leave us. I bet your loyal fans would understand if you took a week off just to take long cleansing
breathes....slowly....deeply...
I so appreciate all the great ideas and wonderful projects presented by both yourself and Joy so slow down so you don't have to disappear!
very nice wish I had an Imagine
i always wanted to know how to make my own envelopes, and now i can. You made it look so easy to do. I am sure i can accomplish this one. thanks so much. I really enjoyed this tip.

Looove it!!!! TFS!

Darling envelopes. You make me regret not getting the I on Black Friday.
Nice clean look. I love the hearts. I really look forward to your emails.
Lindab in WI
Wow! They really look great. Wish I had the Imagine. Oh well, using the Expression will be fun for Valentines, after all, I'm getting some great ideas!
I think the envies are super-cute. Sorry you haven't felt your mojo - maybe just the post-holiday winter blahs like I have. Thanks for always finding great cuts for us!
Very nice! Gives the envelopes a sophisticated look! I really do want an Imagine!!!
Your awesome. Thank you for all you do.
Making your own envelopes is a great idea!
Love the envelopes. Such a creative idea.
Another really cute idea!

Thank you so much, I love all the ideas. I just started card making a couple of weeks before Christmas so all the tips and ideas are awesome and much needed for me!
I like the new card its very cute :-)
Barbara from washington state
Good idea, what a nice way to match the card and envelope together.
These are so cute! I don't have an Imagine, but I could coordinate my envelopes with stamped images from my cards. How did I never think of this...lol?!? Thanks for sharing!

Love the envelopes very pretty! TFS!
such adorable envelopes! Great way to coordiate everything for Valentine's or Thank you notes!
Kathleen jbaugh1481@aol.com
Lovely envelopes. Wish I had an 'Imagine'.
those envies are too cute, I love to co-ordinate my cards and envies....
TFS!!!
This was very nice and very helpful to people who are new to the cricut community like myself. I found this site a great help to me on getting new ideas as I have no imagination. Thank you to everyone who is responsible for this wonderful site!
I love the envelopes! Kind of makes you not want to "rip" it open and ruin it! TFS.
Nice envelopes. TFS

These are cute and remind me of old time valentine's. I just got the Imagine and haven't even opened the box yet. I can't wait fot Saturday! tfs
Cute envelope. Now it makes me want an Imagine!
love those envelopes. I'm a beginner and just came across this site and thrilled with all the information and help this site offers. Could look all night!!!
Jeri Phillips
Red-hot designs! Exceptionally clever.
Now wishing I had an Imagine...to go along w/ my original expressions, my E2, yourstory, gypsy and cuttle bug! I'm a provo craft jumkie! But I've spent so much on machines that I'm low on cartridges!
love this. learnig a lot. very helpful with my new cricut!
Cute idea! Makes me want an Imagine!
Love this. Will purchase an imagine soon for sure!
I agree with everyone else that these are great! Since I don't have the Imagine, and had to sweet talk hubby for months to get my Cricut, I'm guessing I'll have to see how this works with my regular machine. ;o) I've been looking at the inks to try printing instead of cutting. ;o)
I am such a newbie, and LOVE seeing projects with the Imagine..that's one of the machines I have! Love your colors! Thanks for the opportunity to win that beautiful cartridge! ;)
Gotta have an imagine, even if it is just to dress up envelopes.
Thanks for sharing another great idea!
Christi
I really, really like this cartridge!
Like the envelopes. Like Valentine's Day.

Love the envelopes. I bought an imagine Black Friday and it's still in the box. Need to get it out and play.
Very nice. I never thought about decorating envelopes to match cards.
What a cute giveaway. Thanks for your great ideas and a chance at the candy.
marg0006@verizon.net
It's great that you can coordinate your stationary like this and your able to mail the envelopes too. Thanks for sharing.
The envelop is simple, but I love how elegant it turns out. Thanks for sharing.

The envelopes are really a very nice idea. Sadly I do not have an Imagine...yet! Thanks for all your posts!

Another good reason to have an Imagine ... just might have to put that on the wish list! Thanks for the idea
very very nice.

I don't have an Imagine, but I like the idea of customizing envelopes.
