Hi this is Karen for Expert Village. Now what you want to mark where the bottom folds up
to the top, you want to mark right here. Just put the top of that on this piece. Now unfold
and we are going to cut from your marking to the corner where the top was folded down
to that crease. I'm going to cut a diagonal cut right to the corner like that. Then on
the side like so and then fold those open like this and then trim right on the crease
all the way to the top. On both sides.
Now we are going to glue our sides and you can either glue here or use some double stick
tape. I'm going to use double stick tape because it is quick for demonstration purposes. Put
the tape or the glue there and fold up like that. Then the envelope would be closing like
this. So you can slide your card right in here in the diagonal edges. You can fancy
cut the edge of the envelope if you like. I have one of these little hole punchers.
You can use hole punches, you can take some of those fancy cut scissors or you can cut
any other kind of designs you like on the edge of that. This could be either taped down
or glued down. That is a nice handmade envelope.
