Open Ended Envelope With Gift Card - by Marti Crapo


Open Ended Envelope

The open ended envelope is just great to use. I got the inspiration from Jackie Topa and the Stampin’ Up! Catalog – you’ll find this envelope on page 137 or page 97.  Try using just the envelope in your scrapbook or This and That books or for postcards and gift tags.

You can also use this envelope to hold a great gift card like this one – add a gift card or money for a great birthday or wedding gift.  If you in direct sales like me – use it to hold your business card, a coupon or a punch card for free merchandise! HOW FUN!

I used Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper (126902) to make this envelope. Those of you who are on my newsletter list will get a free template and instructions for making the envelope– be sure to sign up today.
The Stamp Set I used is Oh, Hello – a wonderful set (130733) — so versatile.

130733L
The colors I used are Rich Razzleberry, Summer Starfruit and Pear Pizzazz. I colored the rose with the Stampin’ Write marking pens. On the card I used only Stummer Starfruit and Pear Pizzazz. On the envelope added a bit more color with Always Artichoke and Rich Razzleberry. Which do you like best?
The best part is the pocket for the money (or gift card, business card or coupon)
Stamp the oval on whisper White card stock and place the card stock in your Stampin’ Trimmer

You can see how the ruler is easy to use for a guide and the arrow on the cutting blade is clearly pointing to the right spot on the oval. Just cut from 1 1/2″ to the 3″ mark, moving the cutter to the left. EASY PEASY

Attach this piece to the Rich Razzleberry card stock with snail adhesive on the sides of the oval. That leaves the pocket open to hold your goodies.
Get Creative and Design another one.
