Hi Friends! Do you ever need a last-minute card to send? Or maybe you want to make a stationery set to give as a gift or sell at a craft fair? Well today I’ll show you how to line and envelope and make a chic and trendy card in under 5 minutes!
I think it took me 10 minutes to make the set of three! Talk about a great craft fair idea and you can do it affordably using supplies from our sponsor Papermart:
Supplies
- white envelopes
- scrapbook paper
- cream cardstock
- organza ribbon
- adhesive
- ink pads
- embossing folder and die cut machine
- Optional: Clear bags for packaging up your card sets for sale-I like the 6″x9″ size
Directions
- Measure envelope from under the glue on the flap to the bottom of the envelope. Measure the width minus 1/8″ Cut paper scrapbook paper to that size.
- Trace the flap of the envelope on the scrapbook paper and cut on the lines.
- Insert liner into envelop and attach with a bit of glue.
- To make the card emboss the front panel of a card with and embossing folder and fold in half. Ink the raised design if desired.
- Adhere a strip of leftover scrapbook paper to the front and tie a ribbon around that area.
