Little Scrap Envelope


     You've probably heard about the new Envelope Punch board that helps you make over 60 different sized envelopes.  Check out this video.  Well, I had my stamping friends make an envelope at the Christmas in August class.  The envelope used an 8 by 8 piece of designer paper.  That left me with a strip of paper that was 4 by 12.  Not one to waste paper, I decided to try and make a tiny gift card with matching envelope out of this strip. Here's how.

1. Cut a 4 by 4 square.  This will be the envelope.  Your first mark on the new envelope punch board will be at 2 inches. The rest of the punches and score lines will be as directed for any sized envelope.

2. The matching card to be inserted in the envelope measures 4 by 2 inches.  When folded in half it will fit nicely into the envelope.

It is a great feeling to find a way to use up all the scraps from a project.  Now, I have lots of gift enclosure cards to share with others.

What would you do with the extra DSP?
