Create a charming 5½ by 5½ inch envelope using decorative patterned card stock. This project features a finished envelope with floral and botanical designs in soft pink tones, crafted using the Box and Envelope Maker tool. The technique involves precise measuring, scoring and folding to create a professional-looking envelope perfect for cards or special occasions.
Cut your patterned card stock to 9 by 9 inches as specified on the envelope chart. Use the pink glittery card stock for a decorative envelope.
