Good morning! TGIF!! Yesterday was the second snow day of the school year. I loved it! Temps got down to below -20 degrees in the valley we live in. That means it is too cold for school. The kids and I had a great day off. We watched movies, made cupcakes and colored. My oldest daughter invited a friend over. They watched NCIS all day long!
Anyway, Wednesday I posted a 4x4 card using the TESC#96 challenge. You can check out the card and sketch here. Now, what if you made a 4x4 card and you don't have an envelope on hand? What do you do? You make one!! It's really pretty simple.
Use a notecard size envelope measuring 5-3/4 by 4-3/8. Seal the empty envelope.
Then place the sealed envelope on a hand cutter. Cut your envelope so that it is 4-3/8 by 4-3/8 square.
Create a flap by cutting a piece of designer paper (I used K&Company) 4-3/8 x 2-3/4.
I chose to use my scalloped punch to scallop the designer paper that would fold over and seal the envelope.
Determine how large you would want your flap. Glue the designer paper inside the back of the envelope. Fold over to create your flap.
Then you may choose to decorate or address the other side. I used the vintage labels stamp set from PTI and a little heart from Gel-a-tins. The ink I used was Melon Mambo from SU.
This is so simple and makes a great personalized envelope that matches your card. Great for Valentine's Day!!
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you again!
