Envelope Card

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I got a lot of comments and questions about this card so I thought I would put a tutorial together for you. Enjoy.

Envelope Card

By: Debbie Moran

Supplies:

Legal size envelope (ones with a flat tab works best)

Card Stock

Adhesive

Coloring tools

Ink

Paper cutter

Pen

Ruler

Designer Paper

Step One:

Draw a line on the flap fold of your envelope using your ruler and pen.  This will help you see better when you need to cut it.

Step Two:

Take your ruler and mark dots at 2 ¼ and 7 ¼.

Step Three:

Put Envelope in cutter and cut along envelope fold to your marks. Then cut off the rest of the flap.

Step Four:

Fold the bottom part of your envelope toward the center. The ends will not meet in the center.

Step Five:

Stamp background images onto the flaps and back of envelope, but not on the inside of the flaps.

    

 

 Step Six:

Cut your base card stock 4 ½ x 4. Layer to your liking.

Step Seven:

Tear bottoms of the two card stock. Do not tear the DP. Mount all three pieces together.

Step Eight:

Stamp and color your image onto white card stock and adhere to your layered base.

Step Nine:

Adhere your base to the flap of your envelope.

Step Ten (optional):

Stamp a sentiment on the inside of the flaps.

Step Eleven:

Cut from your layered cardstock 1 piece of 4 ¼, one 3 ¾ and one pice of white 3 ¾ x10/8. This will make the inside of your card. Mount all the pieces together.

Step Twelve:

Stamp sentiment or image on insert and color.  Finish card to liking.

 I hope you enjoyed my tutorial today, this is a very simple and easy card to do and different from others. Thanks for stopping and commenting. I hope to see you again soon. Have a blessed day. 

Thanks

Speedy Fox Featured Designer

Good Morning,

This week I am being showcased as the Featured Designer for Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. 
The Featured Designer introduces our Senior Design team to our readers and they create a tutorial showing you either a new technique or a special type of card. This week I created a tutorial on Star of David. This is a great card to make and even though it looks hard it is pretty easy.

Star of David Card

Supplies:

12x12 piece of card stock

Paper trimmer

Scoring Tool

Ruler

Pencil

Ink

Stamps

Adhesive

Bone folder

Designer paper

Cardstock for layering

Embellishments (not pictured)

 

Step One:

Take your 12x12 piece of cardstock and cut to 10x8 ¾

Step Two:

Place your card stock vertically on your scoring tool and mark with your pencil at the 5” mark.

Step Three:

Take your ruler and pencil and draw lines one each side from the 5” mark to the corners.

Step Four:

Cute your card stock on both lines you just drew.

Step Five:

Put your card stock on your scoring tool with one edge against the side and your point in the middle.

Step Six:

Score all three corners at 4 3/8 and 5 7/8. You will have to flip your card stock to do each side.

Step Seven:

Valley fold the score lines closest to the center of your card and mountain fold the outer score lines.

 

Step Eight:

Fold the top flap down, then the left flap and finally the right flap

 

Step Nine:

Take your extra card stock and cut 3 squares 2 ¾ x 2 ¾.  You may have to adjust the measurements.

 

Step Ten:

Place on scoring tool and follow the same steps as two and three. You will have to verify your measurements.

           

 

Step Eleven:

Mount your triangles to the outer flaps.

 

Step Twelve:

Do the same steps with your designer paper, verifying the measurements and mount onto the solid cardstock

 

Step Thirteen:
