This was a fun little card to make. You couldn't send it through the mail, obviously, because the envelope doesn't close. So it's something that you would give someone in person. Maybe you could attach it to a gift with a ribbon through the top or something. Anyway, to make the envelope I used the largest circle and the widest cutting blade from the Creative Memories cutting system. Then I made a score line 1 1/2 inches in from 3 sides, folded them in, and taped them in the corners. Then I placed a band of DP around it. I measured and cut the card so it would easily slide in and out of the envelope and then decorated it to coordinate. Give it a try! (Sorry the second picture is a little blurry. I didn't notice that until I came down and put it on the computer, and by then I didn't have time to re-take it.)
