Address Labels.... stickers

These stickers are 1.25" in size and come in all different colors

A full sheet is 8.5x 11 and I usually cut them into a manageable size of 4x6
or thereabouts...

Since they primarily are darker colors, I like to use Dr. Martin's
Bleedproof white or Copperplate gold on them.... with a pointed pen

Each one is individually designed and hand calligraphed/written

I purchase them from Paper Source (Locally, in Austin on 5th Street)
They can also be found ONLINE

These cuties make a nice "seal" on the back of my envelope

Also, gives the envelope a personal touch

I make these up ahead of time to put on my envelopes

They are all hand done....a little whimsical and
a little quirky! (like me)

And, then, they are ready when I need them.  I
sometimes do these while I am talking on the phone or
am "getting the creative juices flowing".
