I can't wait to try this, looks so pretty. I love to write letters to my friends instead of talking on the phone, so these note cards and envelopes will go great with my collection. No one ever writes any more, but I still do....Thanks Much..

Love your card making ideas tried the pop-up method in your paper class and loved it! Sent it to a girlfriend that enjoys snailmail. :)

It's thoughtful & lifts a person out of a blah mood to receive a card in the mail. It's a traditon we should not lose. Sometimes, email doesn't have the effect a sender intended. Paper is simple yet so many things to do with it. Good for you, Mr. Alton.

Very pretty cards. What pen or marker did you use to outline the card and envelope edges? They look so professional.

open the flap of the envelope and laying it upside down trace the flap and at least 2-3 inches to go down in the envelope

Love the looks of these cards. Don't know anything about doing "envelope liners" so I'm going to go scout around for "how to do" those. Any tips on that?
Angellynne77 on craftsy.com

Just a guess...I haven't tried it yet... but it looks like you would just measure the flap of the envelope, starting below the "lickable" seal, and then cut out your pattern to fit inside the envelope...I hope that makes sense... and helps! Good luck! Happy cutting!
