DIY Slimline Envelope
You can use a business envelope you have at home, buy the new Stampin’ UP! Slimline Envelopes that are just precious (see photo on the left – you get 15 envelopes for just $10!) or make your own following the video! The graphic below might help, too.
Use your paper trimmer to cut straight lines. Add flair by quickly mitering the corners with your scissors.
Your envelope should look like this with the excess paper removed. Stamp on it before glueing it together.
