Starburst Sayings

This is one of the cards we made in Stamp Club last month!  It is a direct CASE from Susan Itell at www.simplestampin.com.  So fun and easy to create . . . I also decorated the inside to match, keeping it fun, and made a custom envelope with the Envelope Punch Board and lined with the Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper.  I used the side of the paper that had Bermuda Bay with tiny white polka dots so it matched the Bermuda Bay on the card.  Sorry I don't have the envelope photographed.

To line your custom envelope with DSP, simply measure from the point on the sealing flap to the center of the notch on that same side of the envelope.  In this case it measured 3 1/2".  So I cut a piece of DSP 3 1/2" square and placed it in the Envelope Punch Board lining it up 1/8" smaller than the 3 1/2".  Punch, then flip the paper, (pull the paper toward you like you were playing cards and carefully looking at the card the dealer just gave you, but completely turn the paper over).  Turn it 1/4 turn to the right, line it up at the same mark and punch again.  You should have punched opposite corners.  This piece of paper will fit perfectly onto your envelope flap.  So simple and you can use this technique for any size envelope!
