My First Envelope Using the Simply Scored Diagonal Plate

I made my very first envelope yesterday using the Simply Scored Diagonal Plate.   It was quick and easy.  I love how I was able to match the flower color perfectly (Poppy Parade).   This is an A2 size envelope that will fit a card that is 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".   The plain envelope or envelope with stamped images is perfect for mailing.

I made the flower the other day (tutorial on my blog) and decided it would look great on the outside of the envelope.   Because this flower has a brad and layers, it would not be an envelope that you would be able to mail.  You would use this type of envelope with embellishments for a card you were going to hand deliver.

The video tutorial on how to use the Simply Scored Diagonal Plate is on yesterday's blog post.

Ban on Plain Envelopes !!!

Why send a card with just a plain white envelope when you can send one with a image stamped on it. It really adds to the WOW factor of what you sending/giving. A lot of hard work and a lot of fun go into making our beautiful cards. Just take a couple extra minutes and stamp an image that coordinates with your card on the envelope too.

These envelopes match cards I am making for a friend to use as Thank You cards. I think she will be very pleased with the stamped image on the envelope too. Here's a sample of the style card they are going with:
