HOW TO MAKE AN ENVELOPE

With an 8-1/2"x11" piece of computer paper, you can make any size envelope to fit your home made cards. I have been making these envelopes for a very long time. I think I learned this technique at a craft show that I attended. Thanks for joining me.

  4. I've learned this method the hard way last year when I made my Christmas Cards. I used 24 lb. colored paper from Staples and it's a little thicker than ordinary copy paper at 20 lb. I LOVE, LOVE your idea of punching out the flap and adding colored paper behind it. What a fabulous idea. TFS.

  5. Brillant! I have been stuggling with envelopes ever since I got the CE. Just purchased the Ultimate Crafter Companion and awaiting delivery. That's suppose to have an envelope function as well. Thanks so much for the video! I will definately be using your method!

  9. Great Video. Your videos I always enjoy as you take the time to explain as you go along.
    I hope to be making more envelopes. I also want to tell you that I made two Birthday cards that I got from your videos. The one pop card with the cake on it, I just happen to have the same Sweet treat paper and I used the cake the same way you did. Thanks again for those awsome videos. Keep those videos coming!!!!/
