What a fun challenge! I've had a handful of these small envelopes for a long time, and this is the first time I've used one. So thanks for that!
I started with an ATC that I recently got on Etsy (EmmasPaperCottage), which is from a set that features the residents of a place that my husband dubbed "Crittershire". This one features the town's mail bunny.
Then I chose some papers to go with the ATC. I'm usually pretty good at remembering what I have in my stash, but I honestly can't remember seeing this stamp patterned paper before. Maybe I have so many papers that they're starting to multiply on their own.
After sticking down the papers, envelope, and ATC, I thought it still needed a bit more decoration. So I added the birthday sentiment (sent to me in a Welcome RAK) and a couple postage stamps.

Your bunny made me smile, just this morning I was looking up Racey Helps with memories of her bunny and cute critter illustrations. Both the stamp DP and real stamps are great to go with him. I always liked that old coffee pot one, I probably have a couple saved.

Crittershire is a cute name for the paper! Love your card with the real envelope!

That little critter atc is so darn cute! I really like your added stamps, too...so much fun to use on a card, especially one with an envelope theme. I know what you mean about forgetting what supplies you have.

Your card turned out wonderfully! The combination of the charming Crittershire ATC with the coordinating papers creates a delightful scene. The addition of the birthday sentiment and postage stamps adds the perfect finishing touches, making it a truly special and personalized creation. Great job!
