Cards with Envelopes

I was cleaning my room up for the empteenth time and found some templates for making envelopes as well as some liners. I realized I had forgotten I had these. I always think when I have nothing better to do I will make my own envelopes and I will line them and make them oh so pretty.

Well I guess I have never had nothing better to do because I have never ever once used these until now. I refuse to let another day go by without at least attempting to make my own envelopes. I had both stencil and instructions for Martha Stewart score board. I used both.

The stencil was easy enough, trace and cut. I had some 90lb water color paper I wanted to get rid of so decided to do use a few sheets just for that purpose. I was able to cut 3 at a time (just trace one). I didn't have a liner for this envelope so after assembly I just put them in my stash.

On to my next project the Martha Stewart score board instructions which uses 8.5 x 8.5 square. Easy enough to follow but I can only make one at a time. The other thing I didn't have was cheap cardstock so I only made one using some pretty thick cardstock from Papertrey Ink which I usually use for my cards. Lesson learned it's too thick so will keep my eye out for some cheap cardstock at Michaels.

My liners were from Paper Source and again just trace and cut but honestly I don't think I would really even need them for that. I will say the liner is the correct size, but Martha Stewarts instructions weren't because the envelope is a little too roomy for the 5.5 x 4.25 card it said it fit. (at least I think that's what size it said),

Once the envelope was completed I just needed a card to go inside. So here they are.
