Materials needed:

-Standard Envelope template from Draggin' Ink™
-one sheet 11" X 17" construction paper or cardstock
-pencil
-scissors
-glue or doublestick tape
-cutting board or pad of paper for a working surface

NOTE: The example shown makes an envelope for a card that is 
6" X 9". To make sure the paper you are using is large enough, use your card to measure: single width of the card + 1" and 2 1/4 X the height of your card. Using your card as a standard of measurement, mark the width on the paper at the bottom edge and the height at the sides of the paper adding 1/4" along the top and one side. Moving the template from side to side, mark the side edges as high as the height mark you just made. Now, using the same height measurement for the bottom part of the envelope, extend the top part of the envelope (with the side flaps) and mark, including flaps. To make the top flap, mark both sides of the top flap (the part that arches), determine the center line of the envelope and mark, and then by hand connect the two sides with the highest point being at the center. Go slowly, take your time and it will look fine!
Score and cut out. Decorate while flat if desired. Glue or tape and seal with a sticker or lickable glue.
