Envelope Gift Wallets Step by Step




Just in Artwolf on Etsy. Envelopes with Slip Cards and tags.
1a.. Print off your digital download on to light to medium weight white card. 1b.. Roughly cut out your pieces from the main sheet, so they are all separated. 2.. You can now carefully trim your envelope and message slip card, using scissors or if you prefer you can use a guilloteen on most of the straight sides. 3a.. The top side of the slip card has a centre marker to help you position your hole punching 3b.. Leave this attached till after you have punched the hole. 3c.. Then cut off. 4..Trim all the curved edges, first cut into the centre line of corners.
5.. Then cut from each side into the centre cut line. Large scissors are great for cutting straight lines, smaller for details and curved scissors
for round and curved shapes.
6.. When all trimmed and cut out, as indicated on the template, score the centre envelope line and the tab lines, and firmly crease both the tabs. 7a ,7b ... Fold into place.The envelope is now ready to Glue. 7c.. Cut out round tags with curved scissors.

8a.. Glueing; First place a blob of glue with your finger onto the area indicated with the arrow in the picture, on one side, where the two fold in tabs overlap. Firmly press together. 8b.. Spread glue onto the two folded in tabs, being very careful not to allow any glue to overlap into the inside edges, which would stick the inside of the envelope together. Carefully fold over the flap and pressing firmly together, minor adjusting can be made, before its completely fixed together. Sticky Fingers glue is super for paper crafting. 9.. Choose your ribbons. 10.. You could also place a paper sticker across the message card to hold a cash gift. 11&12.. Thes are very pretty decorated with glitter or other embellishments. Pictures and text on scoring and glitter decoration can be seen in previous step by steps, here on this Blog. :)
