Change the patterned paper for a different look!
You can also choose to make this into a regular card instead of a gift card. Don’t glue the bottom flap, but add another piece of patterned paper!
Paper Cutting Tip
I designed the project to be able to use one piece of 6″x6″ patterned paper to decorate the card and the envelope!
Put the 6”x6” piece in the Paper Trimmer and cut at 2 ¼” for the envelope flap. Rotate and trim down to 5 ¼”. Rotate back to portrait orientation and cut at 1”. Now all of your pieces of DSP are cut!
