Envelope Card!

Here's a fresh new idea for you that is sure to get a WOW!

I picked this idea up at our Brisbane Regionals and I think it's pretty cute. What it is, is an envelope that has been sealed. 2" has been cut from one end creating the little lid that slides on and off. The larger part of the envelope has then been put through the Paper Crimper. This makes it that little bit smaller than the size of the lid piece, allowing it to tuck neatly inside. Amazing hey? Just add a little card to tuck inside with a special message, and there you go!

I did make a boo boo on my first attempt at this, and crimped the first envelope the wrong way (You need to crimp your envelope in horizontal). Not letting that little boo boo get in the way, what I did was undo the envelope and lay it out on some card stock. I measured around it and created the Certainly Celery base that you can see on one of the cards here...
