My cousin sent me a commercially made thank you card that looks like an envelope on it's side. The shape was so darling! The design was simple with a plain solid color background bordered by a stripe at the top and at the bottom. The thank you sentiment was embossed in gold.
I immediately thought this was a great fun fold to showcase the gorgeous Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the new copper embossing powder!! I fell in love with this DSP at On Stage! It has Crumb Cake, flowers, and copper embossing! What is not to love?!
I created a set of four note cards with matching envelopes. I also created a larger envelope to keep the card set in.
To make the thank you card, first cut a 3-1/2" x 12" piece of Affectionately Yours Specialty DSP. Holding the DSP with the 12" long edge flush to the top of the score board, then score it at 5" and at 10".
Next, let's cut the triangle flap. Rotate the card so that the right most 3-1/2" edge is lined up with the bottom edge of your grid paper. This is the side with the 10" score line. Make a pencil mark at 1-3/4". This is the middle of the 3-1/2" side.
You will angle your cuts to the middle to form a triangular point. Starting at the bottom of the 10" score line, with scissors cut towards the pencil mark. Do this again but starting at the top of the 10" score line as shown in the photograph above. Then use the corner rounding punch to round the tip of the triangular point.
To make the slit closure, first rotate the card so that the left most 3-1/2" edge is lined up with the bottom left corner of your grid paper. This will make it easier to center your closure. Make a pencil mark at 1-1/4" over and 1-3/8" up and at 2-1/4" over and 1-3/8" up. Connect the two marks with a line. Place a self-healing cutting mat underneath your card. Carefully, cut out the line with a craft knife. If you don't want to use a craft knife, you can use a hook and loop closure instead.
Cut a 4-3/4" x 3-1/4" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and adhere it to the inside center of the card.
The front embellishment is made by stamping the thank you sentiment on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock with Versamark Ink and embossing it with copper embossing powder. Once the paper is cool, punch out the sentiment with a 2" circle punch. Make a total of 4 embossed and punched thank you sentiments. Punch a 2-3/8" scalloped circle from Mint Macaron, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, and Night of Navy. Adhere one embossed sentiment to each scalloped circle and then to the front of the card.
Even though this card is smaller than a standard sized card, it will still fit in a regular sized envelope, but why not make your own envelope?
I used the Envelope Punch Board to make both the matching envelopes and the card set box. For the matching envelopes, cut a 7-1/4" x 7-1/4" piece of envelope paper. The first and third punch is 3-1/8" The second and fourth punch is 3-1/2".
You can purchase the Affectionately Yours Specialty DSP and more on June 1st! There are only 9 more days left until the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog is released!
