Envelope Fun Fold & Envelope Gift Pouch

Today’s projects have an “envelope” theme featuring Iconic Celebrations! The Envelope Fun Fold Card is a great way to gift embellishments or a gift card (or just have a fun opening) and the Envelope Gift Pouch is great for a lip balm or other treats!

I do love the look of envelopes! Ever since Stampin’ Up! retired the Envelope Punch Board, I’ve had fun designing envelope-style projects just using the Simply Scored! Let’s get to the projects!

Envelope Fun Fold Card

This fun fold card is a great way to give someone embellishments or a gift card, but it’s also a very cool fun fold if you don’t add adhesive to the sides for an “envelope explosion” opening!

That layer of white really makes the patterned paper pop! And did you notice the white layered circles? It’s a classy way to give a beveled edge look.

Here’s how the Envelope Fun Fold Card looks open when you add adhesive to close the bottom of the envelope piece. Otherwise, you can skip the adhesive and adhere a white layer to the inside for your note!

I’ve added a VELCRO Thin Clear Fastener for the closure. Inside you can slip a pack of adhesive-backed embellishments, a note, or a gift card to name a few ideas!

In my version, I opted to add a small pack of adhesive-backed embellishments, so I added a layer on the back for the note:

Envelope Gift Pouch

This Envelope Gift Pouch is the perfect size for a Vaseline Lip Therapy lip balm! I found a pack of 4 on Amazon, but they’re also available at Dollar Tree! It will also fit other things as well – I’d love to hear what you put inside!

The closure of this box is the horizontal die-cut piece from the Iconic Imagery Dies. I just added a pair of Mini Glue Dots to the back lower corners to create a slot for the envelope closure! Here’s a closer look:

Here’s a look from the side to show how this pouch tapers:

And here’s how the Envelope Treat Pouch opens:

The envelope points criss-cross over each other, the first one tucking into the back of the pouch for a secure hold. Here’s how it looks with both flaps out:

And an “aerial” view:

Such a fun pouch! I hope you’ll give it a try!
