When I bought the wedding card for my friend Bob and Bette who were married last weekend, it came with a pink envelope. I liked this at first, but when I placed the card in its pink envelope on the blue Tiffany box which contained their wedding gift, I was less than happy with how it looked.
This just did not work for me. Not a good combination. I could have picked up a new, white envelope. But anybody could do that. So I decided I would make my own envelope using vellum.
So, I got out the envelope/box maker and got to work. This is the handiest thing to have around for a project like this. The instructions tell you what size paper to begin with and then where to score to make an envelope for the size of the card.
I ended up making the new envelope a little larger than the original envelope. But it really didn't matter. I rather liked the look of it a little over-sized. This card was a nice, heavy card stock. I loved the sparkle on the tie and the bouquet on the front with a simple "Mr. & Mrs." Actually, I could have made this card. Next time, I think I will.
Once we made the necessary folds, we slipped the card inside the envelope with the front facing the finished side of the envelope. Notice we used a vine print vellum for this project. Very pretty.

I was very pleased with how this looked tucked under the ribbon on the box with the message on the front of the card showing through the new envelope.
Inside, a simple and heartfelt sentiment to the bride and groom from all of us, including Baxter. It was a beautiful day and we all had so much fun. Congratulations again to Bob and Bette.
