Envelope Card Tutorial by Anna Sigga | Graphic 45

Envelope Card Tutorial by ‪@AnnaSiggaCreates‬
Featuring Graphic 45's Cottage Life paper collection
"The colors in the Cottage Life collection are beautiful and ever so soft. I wanted to focus on the Solids and Patterns because they look just stunning and perfect for this project.
I start by cutting the extra part of the paper to measure exactly 12x12 inches. Then I score the paper at 6 inches, turn it and score it at 6 inches again.
Then I fold the paper on the score lines to make them sharper. Then each corner of the 12x12 paper is folded towards where the score lines meet and repeated for all four corners to create a square of the sort.
Next, fold the square into a rectangle, which is your envelope's base. Then you cut one of the flaps away, and your shape is ready. Now take the time to ink all the edges if you want.
Adhere the section of the back of the envelope and make sure not to add adhesive to the flaps on the front. Those flaps create the pocket where you house your greeting.
Then add adhesive to the back rectangle part and fold them together in order to create a sturdy envelope card. All that is left is to decorate the card as much as your heart desires.
The greeting “card” that you place inside the card is 4x8 inches, and I recommend rounding the edges. Of course, adding a small stamped image is always a great idea.
Thank you so much for stopping by, and make sure to tag your Graphic 45 creations so we can find them on social media.

Hi Anna how would you post them? Can you buy boxes to fit do you know in the UK? Thanks

Thanks for watching and enjoying these beautiful envelopes that Anna created. Perhaps using a small padded envelope would work well for mailing. Happy paper crafting!
