by Theresa Momber
Create a pouch out of a regular envelope.
Supplies
- A2 size Envelope
- Paper Trimmer
- Crimper
- Adhesive
- Stamps (Gina K. A Year of Flowers stamp set used here)
- Cardstock (for insert)
Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Seal the envelope.
Use your paper trimmer to cut 1 1/4" from one of the short sides of the envelope.
The narrow piece will be the topper and the larger piece will be the crimped pocket portion of the card. -
Step 2
Decorate both pieces with stamps, keeping in mind that the bottom piece will be crimped and the images may be slightly distorted.
-
Step 3
Place the larger piece into the crimping tool with the opening to the side, and crimp.
-
Step 4
Add stamped/cut images, die cuts and embellishments as desired.
-
Step 5
To create the insert, cut a piece of card stock to 4" by 4 1/4".
For a layered look, cut additional pieces slightly smaller. -
Step 6
Stamp and embellish insert as desired.
-
Step 7
As a variation you can scale the project down to create gift card holder.

Could you tell me where you got the ribbon? I've seen it on a number of cards and can't find it online.
Thanks!

Julia - The ribbon is from my local stamp store. I believe the supplier is called Creative Impressions. I found them online once, hoping to buy some. They sold them in fairly large spools, so it was cost prohibitive to buy a variety of colors. I am sure you can find them by doing a search of Creative Impressions, but if you can't, just let me know and I will try to dig up the web address.
Tina and Pam - The rose stamp is from a set called A Year of Flowers from Gina K Designs. It was illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger.
Thanks!
Sandy - It is called A Year of Flowers from Gina K Designs.
I really love this - I have tried to use crimped paper and card before but when sticking I tend to lose crimping effect. Could you advise how best to stick to crimped paper as well has what to use to adhere crimped paper to card.
