Box Envelope   by Jacqui McCully

 today  seeing i made  my mum a beautiful  card  5 inches  square  with the flower it made it a bit tight  to place in the envelope  so  decided to  make my own envelope to suit . 

to close  your envelope  there are many ways  i have added ribbon under neath ,before  adding  the patterned papers ,

green cardstock, bought at  bargain plus at springwood 

2 sheets of  Kaisercraft mint wishes  green spot  but you can  have what ever, my mum  loves green any type of green

here are my measurements  

cardstock is  cut  to  7 " x 12 inches, 

you can follow the  pictures to get idea where to cut  off ,

I was going to corner round  the top but  it was  not  in its usual place ,after completing this  i now find it  in the top drawer , i never keep it  there . lol 

score  at 3/4  " ,  1 "   ,  6 1/8 and  6 1/4  "  turn envelope 

score at  2 3/4" 3 ". 8 1/8 " and  8 5/8" 

  make crisp edges  ( fold  close an reopen)
