How To: 3x3 envelope

How do you make a matching, super cute envelope to go with your card?

One thing you need to know about me - I *love* 3x3 cards. They are my faves!! They are just so cute! So to go with those sweet little cards, here's a sweet envelope!

Start with sacrificing one of your Stampin' Up 3x3 envelopes, by carefully taking it apart (To fit that size card, it measures a little bigger than 3x3, really). Keep this as your template.
Hold the template to your designer paper and cut out. No need to trace it, it's so simple! Use some Dotto removable adhesive if you want to/need to
(This is the other side of that same paper). Use a bone folder, or your scoring blade, and score lines from corner to corner on each side
Fold and adhere. Isn't it cute?!
All of Stampin' Up's Designer Paper is double sided. Which would be perfect for the hand delivered card/gift, but could be a little much to put through the mail, depending on the pattern. You can always use your non-SU designer paper to make one with a white side, and fold it white side out.

The outside is white for mailing. A little more tame, but still really special and pretty when opened up!
