WhoDunnit? Clue Envelopes

By Katelyn Grosart

“ Hey G45 Fans! When I first laid my eyes on Master Detective, I wasn’t too sure what I would end up creating with it. But, as I started looking at it more, many ideas came to my head. For starters, I like to refer to this collection as the 3 in 1 collection because it works for creating Sherlock Holmes projects, masculine projects, and Halloween projects. Who doesn’t love to create projects for those three different things?! With all of these ideas brewing in my head, I created a set of WhoDunnit? Clue Envelopes using Master Detective, Policy Envelopes, and a variety of other Staples. These envelopes are perfect to put clues in for a murder mystery game or party. Grab a cup of your favourite beverage and enjoy the photos and tutorial of my WhoDunnit? Clue Envelopes”.

Tip: Layer in amongst the fussy cut images an Ornate Metal Keyhole as well as a Metal Clock Key. To give the staples a bit of extra dimension, add foam squares behind each staple.

Tip: Use an Ornate Metal Label Holder to highlight a section of the border.

Tip: To add some interest in the top right hand corner, fold the corner of the orange patterned paper piece down and hold it down by using a Metal Brad.
