I had been wanting to develop a card for the standard 3-5/8 x 6-1/2 desk type envelopes that would also put a sheet of CS to good use. Here is my effort at that... Start by cutting 1/2 inch off to make your CS 8-1/2 x 10-1/2 inches. Score the longer side at 3-1/2 and 7 inches, and angle cut from 6-1/4 on one short side to 2-1/4 on the other side to make 2 cards. I didn't scan the reverse side of the card ~ the center panel is stamped so that the design continues when the card is closed.
See the closed view of the cards.
Note: I printed my inside text on the computer and ran each sheet through 2x, then trimmed the 1/2 inch off and scored after cutting the angle ~ experiment to see what works for you. If you use stamps for the inside it is easier to think it through...!

Carol, these are stunning! I love how the image is continued on the folded side to make a complete work of art! Into my favs - and a great way to use a regular business envelope!

I love the double fold with the slanted top! Thanks for providing the measurements for your cuts and folds. I may have to try this for some of my Christmas cards this year. Great work!
