Envelope Card Tutorial

 
 
 

 I've had several people contact me with questions regarding this card.  I mentioned in my previous post that it was an Evelope Pocket Card (or atleast that is what I am calling it :) The base of the card is created from a Stampin' Up! Medium Size Envelope. So I thought I would create an mini tutorial and explain how I made it, plus it is my wedding anniversary tomorrow and I needed to make a card, lol!

 For this particular card I used the sets Sense of Time, Teeny Tiny Wishes and Hope Happens. The colours used are Crumb Cake, Not Quite Navy, Early Expresso and Very Vanilla.

              
 Seal the envelope and the line up the sealed end at the 4 1/4" mark so that you are cutting of the end that does not have the flap. Then take a piece of 5 1/2"x 4" cardstock in you choice of colour (Not Quite Navy is shown here). Stamp and decorate as desired. ( I stamped tone on tone then used the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.)

   
For the main image panel I used a 3 1/4"x 3 1/2" piece of Very Vanilla and then using my Crumb Cake Inkpad I did the direct to paper technique to add some colour and "texture". I then stamped my clock image off center. 
 

Attach the large cardstock layer to the envelope side that has the seams and flap. Using the 1" Circle punch line it up half way to create a notch throught the first layer of the envelope. It should punch through the cardstock layer as well.

 
Take a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Very Vanilla card stock and insert it into the envelope. It should fit perfectly inside. Line up where you want to place the eyelet (you could also use a brad like my previous card). Make a mark and the using the Crop A Dile set the eyelet. I then used Twill Tape and Hemp Twine to create the pull out piece.
  
    Then stamp the insert as desired and slide into the envelope- Easy Peasy!

Have a great day!

Love it Jenn! What better theme to use this type of card for - your Anniversary. A lovely way to present private messages to your Hubby and lots of room to write those longer notes by using the back and front of the insert.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TOMORROW (which is today in Aus)
