Vertical Stripe Envelope & Blog Candy

Recently I made an envelope with a striped piece of Envelope Paper, but the stripes were vertical instead of horizontal. You can see that post here. Today I’m showing you how to do that. These measurements are for the basic envelope for a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ card.

First find the half way line from one corner to the opposite corner. Then measure 4″ to each side and cut parallel to the half way line. (You can draw the lines with a pencil, then erase later, if you want.) Now cut to 8″ x 8″.

Now you have an 8″ x 8″ piece of paper with vertical stripes (or horizontal, depending on how you want to make the envelope) to use on your Envelope Punch Board.

Another way to do this would be to cut an 8″ x 8″ pattern and lay it on top of the Envelope Paper, then trace/cut around it.

Here’s what I used:
