How to use the mini envelope template.

[ajordan]

I just got this and there are no instructions. Maybe I should be smart enough to figure it out. Do you trace the lines, or could I use my craft knift to cut them out? If you've used this, let me know what has worked for you. Thank you, Amy Jo

I trace the lines and then cut it out with my paper snips and it works great! Otherwise you might cut the template or where it needs to be folded Its fun to use but I odntl ike cutting

I don't like cutting either and I'm afraid I wont cut straight. I'll try your way. I just got some vellum paper to make little envelopes for my scrapbook pages. aj

One suggestion I read somewhere was to trace the lines with your empressor instead of a pen/pencil. This way, you won't have to erase the lines!

I trace lightly with pencil or the vanishing pen by EK Success but I take my bone folder and score all score lines with the template in place.

I felt like such a bonehead myself when I first received my envie templates. lol I had never seen them before or used anything like them. Now I use mine all the time and the minis are next on my wish list!

I trace and cut with my snips too. I just have to make myself slowdown and be careful.

i think i read the same article about tracing with an embossing tool - i plan to do that as soon as i have my mini templates. sounds like a perfect delightful idea!!!!!
