It’s no secret that we all love security envelope patterns, right? And like many of you, I collect them, waiting for that perfect moment for when I just might come up with something to do with them. It actually makes receiving those bills not all that bad – almost exciting and somewhat suspenseful waiting to see what special pattern is hidden within.
It just so happens that most of our “important documents” come wrapped in black security splendor. Initially this made me a little disappointed, as I favor the classic blue look. However, it seems that black has come in quite handy for the occasions at hand, and as a result, I have now grown rather fond of it.
Because security envelope patterns are “hindered” a bit by their intended layout, I find that bite sized projects, such as cupcake or sandwich toppers, work best for me. So in honor of the fabulously spooky holiday at hand, I had to make little bats to top off some scrumptious pumpkin shaped sandwiches.
And let me tell you, nothing dresses up an ordinary ham and cheese sandwich better than a cookie cutter and a toothpick topper.
Little A went batty for these and couldn’t wait for me to finish the photo shoot before gobbling up a bite or two.
Trust me, these babies with fly off the plate, before you can say BOO!
oh my, these are so darling! I too keep security envelopes, but often wonder what to do with them. this is perfect!
on a separate (but equally darling) note, your layout for your blog is lovely! did you do it yourself? or did you have help? I am in dire need of a new look.
how darling. I just realized all my bills come in plain white envelopes. that does not feel very secure. or cute.
love it! my bills never seem to come in these envelopes though. i love thrifty halloween decorations because i’m the only one who ever sees when i decorate my house anyway.
you are so awesome. i love this!
This is so awesome! Where do you come up with these ideas?
Brilliant idea!!!
what is wrong with me!? I haven’t been saving my security envelopes. that is about to change.
Love. This. I’ve a small collection of envelopes but have been thinking I need to stop paying my bills online so I can get more envelopes! lol

I love this idea, it’s so creative and simply adorable. I also took a look at your shop for the first time, and have to say I really like your illustrations! I posted a link to your couple’s sketch on my blog and am hoping the boyfriend will pick up on it before Christmas 🙂
Awesome! I also collect the envelopes, and do exactly as you described…just wait for the perfect inspired moment. Now I’m super excited. Thanks for the inspiration!
