Super Easy Envelope Cards | Terhi

Leave a Comment

Hi Friends! Terhi here with a super simple but very creative idea for your next cards to make.

Sunny summer starts soon and as usual, I want to make sure I have couple of spare cards to give away if needed. And I like the cards to be themed with the ongoing season. Therefore, Sun and Fun papers and embellishments are playing the main role with these cards.

To create a simple envelope, I used We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board. It’s very easy to use and in just a couple of minutes I had envelope in my hands just in a size I wanted to.

In order to use the envelope both as a card and an envelope, I didn’t add any adhesives. To replace glue and all other permanent attachments, I only added some washi tapes to close the envelopes. This way the receiver can open it, read it, and again close it.

The front sides of the envelopes are decorated with Sun and Fun ephemera and couple of layered flowers I had left from creating a wreath (link).

To make the cards matching any occasion I chose to use sentiments like “Hooray!” or “Hello there!”, as these are not preferring to specific celebrations. “Hellos” can be said any day, just to wish a happy day!

Finally to finish up the cards I added some fussy cut butterflies here and there. The butterflies and puffy dot stickers makes the perfect details for the lovely layered cards.

Hope you feel inspired!

Cards and Coordinating Envelopes

Hi!  It’s me again, Wendy Sue, sharing another little project with you! Making handmade cards is one of my favorite things – and I’m a big fan of simple cards.  But sometimes I really want my simple cards to carry just a little bit more “punch!” I’ve found an easy way to do this is by creating coordinating envelopes.  One of my favorite tricks is to create a plain envelope with a liner that coordinates with the card.  Here’s a look at the set I created recently with the “Everyday” collection.

And after all of the pieces are layered, here’s the completed card:

The coordinating envelope is just as easy!  The ingredients include a die-cut envelope, a liner, and a couple of die cuts.

Simply place the liner, assemble the envelope, and add the printed shapes:

That’s all there is to it:

And the set is perfectly lovely, don’t you think?

They were so easy to put together that I created a trio while I was making this one!  Here’s the second set:

So, do you agree? Do the coordinating envelopes take the project up a notch??
