Loaded Envelope Tutorial

Hello crafty friends this is a tutorial for the loaded envelope. 

 Front of Loaded Envelope

Cut the front panel 8.5 X 9.5 Score the panel at .5 - 1- 7 - 7.5 and 8" on the 8.5" side and .5"
on one side of the long" side.

Back of envelope

Cut the second panel at 7" X 9" score on the 7" side at .5" and 6.5"

Small pocket
Cut the small pocket at 8" X 4.5" score at .5 - 1" - 7" - 7.5" score on the long side at .5"

Large Pocket

Cut the fourth & last piece of paper at 8" X 6.5" score on the 8" side at .5" - 1" - 7" and 7.5" and score on the 6.5" side at .5"

Once all pieces are cut and scored the small pocket goes on the front of the panel and the large pocket goes on the back panel. You will have a gusted on both side once the panels are put together. On the front of the front panel you can create it panel as you like. I cut down approximately 3" then put in 3 to 4 holes on each side of the cut line.  Then you can curve up the sides by the  cut line then lace ribbon to create a laced corset look.  Cut a patterned paper to fit both panels and both pockets. Fill the envelope with things you will create such as tags, cards, goodie bags, let your imagination soar. you can decorate the loaded envelope pocket as you wish. Enjoy.

Christmas Cards front view

 These are the Xyron products used on this projects 

61 days until Christmas Day, and 42 days before I mail my Christmas cards out to friends & family.

CARD 1 - Winter Bliss Tree

I started out with a basic white card stock for the card. This card is 4 1/4 X 5 !/2. I cut the blue patterned paper QQP-WI103 to measure 4 X 5 1/4. I then ran it through the big shot using a cuttlebug embossing folder "Snow Flakes" The tree was created with 1/2 strips of paper trimming each of the ends  indicated above,  The numbers of the paper collection I used was QQP-WI105 for the bottom layer working up QQP-WI101 THEN QQP-WI04 and the top layer is the backside of QQP-WI104.

I stamped Merry Christmas with Aqua PowderPuff Chalking Ink on white card stock which was layered on QQP-WI102. A sentiment was also stamped on the inside of the card. The finishing touch to card 1 was a yarn string, buttons and a pink snowflake to top of the tree. 

CARD 2 - Sleigh Ride

Card 2 base card is also a basic white card stock measuring 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 in the landscape position. QQP-WI103 measuring 4 X 51/4" placing the blue paper on to the white card stock layering a piece of patterned paper QQP-WI104 (white with blue diamond/dot side) measuring 3 3/4 X 5" on top of the blue. A piece of white card stock was placed into the embossing folder "Snow Flakes" then layer it over the patterned paper. I cut out the sleigh and reindeer out of QQP-WI 103, running both through the Xyron sticker maker, then placed then on to the Snow flake back ground flying in the air.

 This card is a 5 X 5, the base card is black card stock, and three layers of pattered paper,  all the edges where distressed using a distressing tool. I used an orange organza ribbon along with a thin green silk ribbon wrapped around two layers then accented with a BoBunny blossom & a tag with "have a frightfully fun Halloween stamped on it.  I used glossy accents on the chipboard witch, and spider. I also used glossy accents on the spider web that is peeking through the distressed paper. 

This card is 5.5 X 5.5" base card is black card stock, I used 1 layer of patterned paper,  I used glossy accent on the skull that was on the paper, I used a stencil and heavy gel medium to get the pattern on the paper, I used BoBunny Bronze glimmer spray to darken the pattern. I used black cheese cloth dropped over the right side of the card along with a bony hand, black garland and a BoBunny blossom to finish off the card. 

This card is standard 4.25 X 5.5, I used black card stock then layered 1 piece of patterned paper with a small piece of paper as an accent on the left, I used several pieces of embellishments from the collection, using glossy accents on parts of the embellishments, finishing the card with a blossom & a purple ribbon.
