Black and White Envelope ~ DT project

Front & Back of Envelope

Hi Everyone

Today I have used the shape template ‘Envelop’, border punch ‘Apron Lace’ and the 3-in-1 corner punch Sea Pearls.

To start off with I have cut the envelope shape out using the Shape Cutter Plus in black card stock. I have also used the circles from the same template in both black and white card stock.

Take a strip of white card stock, about 3cm x 15cm. Use the Apron Lace border punch and punch all the way along the piece of card. Stick this to the bottom flap of the envelope and then stick the envelope together.

Again take two pieces of white card stock about 10cm x 2cm and punch with the ‘Apron Lace’ border punch. Snip into the punched border (on the side with out the ‘holes’) about every 5mm. This will enable you to ‘bend’ it around the curved edge of the envelope. You can stick this with either wet glue like pva or strips of double sided tape.

On the front of the envelope I have used strips of white card stock which has been punched with the Apron Lace border punch. I have used adhesive on the back of the white card stock and then place it onto the front of the envelope ensuring that 4 of the loops are covering the corner. When stuck I have trimmed with the Art knife. Repeat for the rest of the corners.

Now you need a 10cm x 7cm piece of white card. Punch all four corners using one of the patterns on the Sea Pearls punch and stick in the middle of the envelope. Now cut an 8cm x 5.5cm piece of black card and use one of the other patterns on the Sea Pearls punch on all four corners.

Now go back to the circles you cut earlier on. Take the biggest and crease in the palm of your hand. Using your largest stylus tool and something soft to lean on (The back of a mouse mat is good) and go round in a circular motion and the circles with curve. Stick them all together and then stick them in the bottom right hand corner of your envelope.

I hope you like this and have fun making it.

Until next time, happy crafting.
