cut slightly larger than the image square
|

Tear the longer edges (top and bottom) of the Evergreen Forest
paper. Center and adhere to the Nature Patchwork paper, folding
and adhering the side edges toward the back. Adhere a 5.5”
length of ribbon to the Evergreen Forest paper as shown, adhering
the ends toward the back. |
| 3. |
Use a fine point pen to add “stitch” lines along the
edges of alternating squares of the Nature Patchwork paper to create
a quilted look. |

| 5. |
Mount the image square onto the card stock. Use a fine point black

Envelope – Place the 8” Nature Patchwork paper face
down on a clean smooth surface.
Place the card on the back of the paper, having the straight sides
of the card center between the points of the envelope square. Fold
the sides in so the envelope is secure but not tight (the points
won’t touch, but they will alight). Fold the bottom up and
top down in the same manner. Remove the card. Trim off approximately
1.25” from the bottom triangle. Adhere the bottom edges to
the sides. Insert your card, seal closed and add and address label.
