Envelope-style Card Video

Birthday Cards· Fancy Fold Cards· Masculine Cards· Videos

4 Apr

Hello, Crafters.

Happy Easter. Today’s video shows how to make an envelope-style card that I designed myself. I’m sure this design must already be on YouTube but I couldn’t find it which is why I had a go at designing it myself. It was quite easy to do except working out how to calculate the measurements for the layers for the envelope flaps.

Fortunately I remembered from a recent card what the instructions were for calculating layers in this situation! As you know, I’m not one for keeping things simple! After I had made my calculations, I had to convert them to metric as well and then work out the North American measurements!!

My prototype card was the Rococo Rose card and I decided to make a masculine card for the video. I chose Sahara Sand for my colour scheme because there is some Sahara Sand Foil in the Love you Always Foil which is where the Rococo Rose Foil came from. Next I found a lovely piece of Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper (DSP) that was Sahara Sand coloured sand!

This led me to reach for the Friends Are Like Seashells Stamp Set so I could decorate my card using seashells. I stamped a selection of them using Sahara Sand Ink and my Stamparatus. I tried using the matching Seaside Seashells large die to die-cut the shells but this wasn’t an option. Fortunately the shapes were very easy to fussy cut which is what I did before I started recording my video.

My envelope-style card has hidden messages just like last week’s card. On the masculine card I used HAPPY BIRTHDAY from the Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set and also the WISHING YOU THE VERY BEST which is also from the Friends Are Like Seashells Stamp Set. I used my Stamparatus and Sahara Sand ink to stamp them both.

The first sentiment was die-cut with the no. 1 slim die from the Stitched Rectangles Dies and the second sentiment was die-cut using a die from the Always Dies. I used the Stitched with Whimsy dies – for the first time – on the sheet on the back I used to cover up the joins from the envelopes flaps.

I’m very pleased how this card turned out and hope you give it a try. I hope you have a very blessed Easter and I look forward to being back with you on Tuesday. In the meantime, please take care, stay safe, and happy crafting. God bless you all.

JanB. xx
