Little Envelope Tutorial

I hope you are enjoying a fabulous weekend!  My kids are REALLY into biking right now so we went on a great ride this morning to the forks of the Thames, played for a while and then home!  I'm amazed at how well they can do on an hour ride. 

As promised, I've got a tutorial on the little envelope I did the other day.  It does fit a gift card, and the dimensions are EASY to change should you want it for something else.  You can get two envelopes from one card.  Hope you like it!

Step 1:  Cut your paper to measure 8 x 5 1/2.  Score at 3 1/4 and 6 3/4 and then at 1 inch on both sides of the long direction.  Cut off the four corner tabs.  The only tabs needed are in the middle.

Step 2:  Using your corner rounder, punch all of the corners.

Step 3:  Apply adhesive to the top of the flaps.  Make sure you don't go all the way up as your front panel doesn't quite reach the top.

Step 4:  Using the Horizontal punch, punch a hole in the flap.  I had to punch one and a half out to fit the wider ribbon.

Step 5:  Embellish the front panel of the envelope.

Step 6:  Feed the ribbon through the bottom of the flap and then tie a bow on top of the flap.  Voila, you're done!  How quick and easy is that????

Have fun creating!  Happy Sunday!
