So, how about a tutorial AND template for the first Every Other Tuesday event? Here is a little envelope template to get you started: You can download it be clicking here. (You’ll need Adobe Acrobat Reader to download it.)
Fold the sides in, and adhere.
Fold the bottom flap up and adhere that too.
Adhere the coordinating paper flap on top of the flap. Now we’ll add the brad fasteners. Just make a pencil mark about 1/2″ from either side of the bottom of the flap. (See mine below:)
Place the brads into the holes you marked. Then cut a piece of embroidery floss 10″ long. Tie it around one of the brads and wrap around the brads.
This envelope will hold an index sized card note, or recipe card. It would also work great for a journaling holder on a scrapbook page! Enjoy!
I’d LOVE it if you let me know what you make with it!
Now, since this is also a tutorial there’s a giveaway! Yippee! Just leave me a comment with a joke or short funny story. Let’s get each other laughing! I’ll pick a random comment on Thursday night, August 14th. The prize will be as follows:
One package of the brads used to make the envelope. Don’t worry if you don’t live close. If you win I’ll send you the brads for free!
Can’t wait to hear your jokes/funny stories!
Love the tutorials and template. Your projects are so cute and after seeing the tutorials I know I can complete them, and also modify them to fit any project I might want to do! I’ll be looking forward to Tuesdays!
The church organist was in her eighties and had never been married.
She was admired for her sweetness
and kindness to all.
One afternoon the pastor
came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room.
She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea.
As he sat faci ng her old Hammond organ,
the young minister
noticed a
CUT -glass bowl
sitting on top of i t.
The bowl was filled
with water,
and in the water
floated, of all things, a condom!
When she returned
with tea and scones,
they began to chat.
The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity
about the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer resist.
“Miss Beatrice”, he said,
“I wonder if you would tell me about this?”
pointing to the bowl.
“Oh, yes,” she replied,
“Isn’t it wonderful?
I was walking through
the Park a few months ago
and I found this little package
on the ground.
The directions said
to place it on the organ,
keep it wet and that it would prevent the spread of disease.
Do you know
I haven’t had the flu
all winter.”
I hope this joke is OK..lol Too funny…..I love papercrafting and have put your site on my desktop to check often….
thank you for the pattern…
