Step-by-Step

1. 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.

   Decorate both pieces with stamps, keeping in mind that the bottom piece will be crimped and the images may be slightly distorted.
   

   

3. Step 3

   Place the larger piece into the crimping tool with the opening to the side, and crimp.
   

   

4. Step 4

   Add stamped/cut images, die cuts and embellishments as desired.

   

5. 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.
   

   

6. Step 6

   Stamp and embellish insert as desired.
