Welcome back and Nancy, here, to wish you a good morning to our Rubber Buggy crafters and bloggers. Today, I want to share a Criss Cross Envelope with a birthday card for my daughter-in-law using the Stamperia Romantic Garden of Promises collection. What a gorgeous collection and I certainly had a great time playing with it as well as making the criss cross envelope!
I love making a gorgeous envelope that is as pretty as the card to give to a special person. I love to wrapped my cards in tissue paper to give people in person.
I just love the goreous chipboard die cuts in this collection to add embellishments to the card and envelope.
I scanned the 6 x 6 label in the Stamperia paper pad and then used my Photoshop to type in the sentiment and print out on my ink jet to personalize the card. I cut the printed out label 5 3/4" square and glued to inside of card. I cut out the sentiment on the right side and glued to the cut out section found in the paper pad.
Instructions:
The Criss Cross card is fairly easy to make. I cut out two 6" x 12 " with white cardstock and score at 6". Glue one 6" to the other 6". Cut the front at a 45 degree angle and decorate by cutting two 6" squares of patterned. Take one square for the center of the card. The one 6" will be cut at a 45 degree angle and glue each part to the front of the card. If you google by typing "images of criss cross cards" you will see lots of these cards and a few tutorials to help you. I thought this card was easier to make than my normal cards and plus you made a decorative envelope. If you are giving this to a person by hand, just use tissue paper to cover it up plus a ribbon on top and what a gorgeous card to give to your special person. I added an ole metal frame to the front of the envelope and cut out the label from the Stamperia collection and glued behind the metal frame. I used a hot glue gun to adhere since regular glue doesn't work well with metal.
