How to Make a Designer Envelope: Part 2

Hi this is Karen for Expert Village. Now to make the corner a little neater. We are going to fold in a forty-five degree angle and what you should have is this crease should line up with the crease along the edge. The bottom crease should line up along the bottom edge. Then you get a nice corner fold there and repeat it on the other side matching those creases. It is going right at where the two folds bisected, you fold the corner up and then you fold each corner in to get a nice corner finish. Now I'm going to put a little bit, you can put glue or a little bit double stick tape to hold this edge down. You can put it the whole length if you want, I just put it in the center to hold it. Okay! Now we would place our card, this is a quarter fold card that was out of a eight and a half by eleven sheet of paper in a quarter fold card. Place this on this so you know it is going to fit and fold the card up and crease that well. Push down, get it a nice firm crease, and then we are going to fold down the top of the envelope and get a good crease on that also. Now if you like at this point we would open it up and just trim this edge here. We are going to cut here to here just to trim it up, you don't have to but it just gives us a little bit nicer look on both of those corners.
