Today as promised I'm sharing an Envelope card with you......a little bit different from the everyday greetings card so for a special occasion one of these might be just what you're looking for. Hope you like this one!
I've added a greeting on a plain card that sits neatly inside the open envelope.
Would you like to know how I made this? OK here goes........
4.25 x 8.5 inches
Other Products: Kaisercraft
English Rose Collection 12 x 12 double-sided dsp and 6” Paper Pad for flower
and leaf die cuts. Romanprint Ivory card.
SU ink - certainly celery, pretty in pink and blush blossom.
Rangers Distress ink antique linen for sponging. VersaMark, Memento tuxedo
black.
EK Success Wave Flourish punch. Dew Drops. Ivory lace, The Twinery ‘honeydew’
cotton twine. LSS clear gems. Dew Drops.
Dries Clear adhesive. Sewing machine and thread. ScorPal.
Instructions:
1.
Mark the centre of a 12 x 12 inch piece of
double sided card and fold each of the four corners into the centre scoring
well. Turn it over so folds are
underneath and fold the bottom up to the top and score. Flip up the front flap and do the same with
the back flap.
2.
I added the lace threaded with the cotton twine at
this point by securing it under the two flaps.
The top section needs to be long enough to wrap all the way around the
envelope and enough to tie a bow (approx. 20”) The bottom piece is approx. 12
inches.
3.
You can tape the flaps together and the body of
the envelope (4.25 x 8.5) or as I did sew from the tip of the flap all around
the envelope to hold it together. Sponge around all edges with antique linen
ink.
4.
Die cut the Decorative Oval Window die from
ivory card and whilst still in the die sponge with pretty in pink ink. Trim out two flourishes from the die cut
piece and using dries clear adhesive attach to flap front.
5.
Stamp, die cut and emboss the leaf motif from
the Foliage die set 3 times from pale green dsp using certainly celery
ink.
6.
Stamp 4 sets of three layer flowers and one 4-layer
flower. I used various pinks from the paper pad and pretty in pink and blush
blossom inks.
7.
Use the matching Spellbinder dies to cut the
petals. Sponge the edges; shape and layer using dries clear to adhere. Add a dew drop to the centre of each
completed flower.
8.
Punch 2 wave swirls in a darker green add to
flap with one of the die cut leaves.
Arrange three of the completed flowers to the flap and adhere with dries
clear.
9.
To each bottom corner adhere a leaf branch and
one completed flower. Add a strip of clear gems either side of the flap opening
to complete the card front.
10 Trim
some Ivory card to 3-7/8 x 7-6/8 inches. Sponge and stamp the edges using the
tip of the fern stamp from the leaf medley set and certainly celery ink. Stamp the sentiment in tuxedo black ink to
complete the inside card. Slide into the envelope.
11 Tie
a bow in the lace to close the envelope.
