Shoebox swap card with envelope instructions

This is another case of myself. I made a square card similar to this a week or so ago and decided to make a 3 x 5.5" version with an envelope. I used the new Modern Label punch from SU--I love it! Pattern paper is October Afternoon Cherry Hill. I'm really stuck on this Life stamp set but I'm proud that I didn't use any Kraft or twine on the card.

I saved the twine for the envelope (insert evil laugh here). Here's the front of the envelope. I used the twine to hold the flap closed but ribbon would be equally lovely or a belly band of some kind. Hopefully I won't forget I made this for my sister since her birthday isn't until November. This is not for the sister I give a hard time about her age. I have 2 sisters.

For an envelope to fit this size card... start with a piece of paper 8.25 x 6.75. Score at .5 on each side. Rotate and score at 2.5 and 5.75. Trim away some pieces as shown in the picture and use Scor-Tape(or something similar) for the adhesive.

Candy Corn/Christmas tree shaped nugget holder template

Sometimes I make things harder than they actually are. Sometimes I realize my stupidity in time, other times...not so much. I finally figured out that I could trace the candy corn shaped nugget holder and scan it to make a template. Well, duh! I printed this template out and compared it to the original and it's slightly bigger, but it will work fine. When I went to print it, I had to have my paper orientation as landscape (for some reason it didn't print the right size on portrait) and I had to change the page scaling to Fit to Printable area. I would suggest printing it on cheap copy paper to make sure the scaling is correct before making a good cardstock template. It should be roughly 6.25" long and 2.25" wide at the widest spot.
