Wanessa from Wanessa Carolina Creations, and our new contributor, came up with these trendy DIY envelopes for spring that I just love!

She’s designed three template sizes in both pastels and bright colors that you can easily download. Then follow her simple directions below and see what fantastic envelopes you can create!

These envelopes would work great for small gifts, little notes, or if you’re hosting a spring party, how about little seed packet party favors? Plus the pastel envelopes match the adorable “Bunnies and Birds” Easter printables Wanessa designed.
