SCALLOPED ENVELOPE DIE, item #113462, pg 206 Stampin' Up! Catalog

step 1: start with a 6×6 piece of DSP

step 2: fold it in 1/2

step 3: align the folded edge with the 3rd scallop down on the die

step 4: run it through the BIg Shot machine

step 5: open up the envelope and burnish out the fold/crease with the Bone Folder

step 6: seal the edges shut with Sticky Strip and you have an envelope sized to fit a Gift Card!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am so glad people figure these things out. I was disappointed to see that a gift card didn’t fit. Thanks to you I can get some of these ready.

Hi patty,
Thanks so much for sharing, the only thing I’m sorry about is to have missed your post a year and a half ago.
That’s a super clever idea, Iremember being so disappointed when I bought it and realised that it was to small. But now you just changed my life, I was so happy yesterday when I saw it I HAD to do something with it.

I’m still loving this technique. TFS

I just bought this die and the lines that are intended to be “fold” marks on the sides acutally cut thru the paper. Thus, I can’t use it for its intended use. So disappointed!
