Big-Birthday-Wishes-HeaderCapitalized

There are envelopes…and then there are ENVELOPES! Today, I’m talking about ENVELOPES!  As someone who loves to create stationery, I typically restrict myself to a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2″ canvas.  Well today, I’m breaking that rule! What better way to say Happy Birthday to my blog friend (and real life friend) Julie Ebersole! I’m joining forces with a bunch of  crafty blog friends to say Happy Birthday to Julie with a blog hop of creative crafts.

For my contribution, I’m sharing a template for a giant envelope that I think you’re gonna lurve. I know I do.

{1} Template will print on multiple pages with light blue guidelines to help with assembly

{2} Line up guidelines and use tape to adhere pieces of the template together. Begin by adhering, pieces 2, 5, 8 then 1, 3, 7 and 9.

{3} Complete the template by adhering pieces 4 and 6.

{4} Once assemble, cut out along the solid lines. Trace this template onto wrapping paper to create giant envelope.

Now of course, no  giant envelope is complete without a giant card inside, right?!  I created my giant card using two sheets of 11×17 cardstock, which I trimmed down to 11 x 14 3/4″


Quick Tip on Making Giant Cards

For the design of the my giant card, I reached for a favorite of mine: Papertrey Ink’s Rosie Posie stamp set. The images in this set are rather large in scale, so they work quite nicely on the large card front. I finished off the card front with By The Numbers Die cuts along with a wood veneer embellishment.
