Hi there blog friends, conquering another item I’ve had on the side of my desk for months. Are your ready to do more scoring and folding? Well then, I have another tutorial for you! This one will allow you to make a Decorative Border Folded Envelope to accommodate a 5.5″ x 5.5″ card. There are two options for folding and many different options for embellishing – all of them will give you a different look. On the sample above I’ve used Spellbinders™ Classic Edges One and Spellbinders™ Classic Decorative Inserts Two.
For the next sample I used a Martha Stewart Corner Punch and a Martha Stewart Border Punch, along with a rolled rose, pearls and seam binding.
For the last sample I used a Martha Stewart Border Punch, Satin Ribbon a button and a brad.
Here’s the video to show you how:
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: None Paper: American Crafts Ink: None Accessories: Spellbinders™ Classic Edges One, Spellbinders™ Classic Decorative Inserts Two, Martha Stewart Corner Punch, Martha Stewart Border Punches, ribbon, pearls, seam binding, brad, button, corsage pins |
I love this envelope – so easy and so pretty!! I hope you’ll give it a try. See you soon!
Lovely! Have to try this.

Wonderful envelopes! Loved the boxes you did the other day! I’ve made four already! LoL
How clever Becca, great video how too. Your project is beautiful. Love the samples and how different they all look, such versatility. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
I’m in Love, I love to add a custom envelope to my cards, these are so pretty cant wait to make these.Hugs Becca ,
What a clever project! You never cease to amaze. Since I use a Cuttlebug, I think I’ll have to fiddle with it a bit. Thanks for the always great ideas.
Becca, How wonderful, a woman after my own creative heart and with envelopes!!! I make all of my own envelopes to match the cards and I simply love the new look you have given to envelopes! Thank you, Thank you. In the past I have taught many classes with many envelope designs. Wait until people see what can be done now with your ideas. Many thanks for going the extra, gorgeous steps. WOW!! Kindest Regards, Carol
Oh this is very versatile. I will use this a lot.
You’re in my prayers
Awesome Becca I’ll have to try this one!
What a stunning presentation for a special card or even just a special note you could write inside on the envelope itself. Between this and the incredible folded box tutorial you are making my long week-end full of fun paper folding adventures. Thanks so much!
Loving the tutorials. I made the folded box and it’s lovely. Thanks so much for sharing your talent, and keep ’em coming
Absolutely love this!!! Can’t wait to make one.
I am so happy you give me some suggestions for the enveloppe. I like to give a card with an enveloppe and most of the time the card take all the attention. Not anymore.
Merci! Francine.
You’re soooooooo very clever Becca, just love to be surprised by one of your videos – THANKYOU :)

Hi Becca
Wonderful Envelopes. – Love the way you do your tutorials – just awesome
You were so clear with the instructions in this tutorial, making it easy for relative beginners like me to follow. Thank you so much for sharing this. These envelopes are beautiful!
Your creativity is simply amazing, Becca! Fabulous projects and tute :) Have a great week :)
Very cool, tfs!
Wow! This envelope is awesome!! Thanks for the video tutorial, Becca! You’re the greatest!!!
Thank you for this tutorial. It just adds another idea to my repertoire for family cards. They get so many from me…I always am looking for new ideas for them. I love, love, love the little box and have made my first one….guy idea with manly man colors. Awesome. I can’t wait to try this new one today. Although we haven’t gotten the new Spellbinder releases I am hoping I can die cut the edges like you have shown. There is always a learning curve though professionals like yourself make them look so easy peasey!
FANTASTIC….but I think this is one beyond my ability. When it comes to the decor and running half way….Oh Me !
This envelope is great, your tutorials are wonderful, thank you so much, they are much appreciated.
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. I can see a lot of potential for this one.
Becca,
I so admire you and your work. You’re have inspired me over and over! I’m also very impressed with your video presentations. They have become so professional. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing with us.
God Bless You!
You are so amazing….your blog is so appropriately named. Thanks for the wonderful tutorial.
Hey, I think I can do that! Wow! You teach me so much! Love it! Thank you!
Just really loved what you have done. I wish I could be able to keep your site to enjoy over and over
How do you keep coming up with these creative ideas? My head spins thinking about trying to create this, never mind thinking it up in the first place! Thank you so much!
Wow, this is truly another Becca masterpiece…. I love the idea. I just wonder if it will go thru the mails… I shall find out….lol. Thank you for sharing your wonderful creativity….
STUNNING!!! Must say if I received the one with the rose I’d never be able to bring myself to open it. Again TFS a wonderful tutorial.
Blessings Bernie
What a great envelope idea. Thanks for sharing the video.
Absolutely beautiful!! I love what you have done with these cards! Your photo layouts are always so stunning! You do have quite an artistic eye, thank you for sharing and inspiring me.
Great tutorial video, Becca. Very clear to understand. Thank you.
A beautiful idea and a terrific tutorial. Thanks so much for sharing your creative talents with us all. I can’t wait to play now!
Becca: What a talented lady you are………..I love anything folded differently and you certainly out did yourself this time. I want to start making some w. my Punch Around the Page punches as soon as I finish income taxes. Thank you so much for sharing.
Wow… you really blew me away with this… you are definitely very creative and all inspiring! Tks for sharing your talent with the world.
Becca, thank you so much for such a great tutorial! The envelopes are stunning!!! I always struggle coming up with a little “ooomph” for the envelopes, but now I won’t :-) Thanks again!!!
Fabulous!!!! Those envelopes are so pretty! I can’t wait to try doing one this afternoon. I sure would like to sit in your craft room with you for a day. You are such a paper genius!!!
Wonderful tutorial beautiful samples! Will work well for wedding invites ive been asked to do,thank you xx
I love this and wouldn’t use it for an envelope at all. Instead, I would finish the inside with whatever theme my card would be (birthday, condolence, invitation) and use it without putting another piece in it. One thing makes it difficult for me is the lack of written instructions. I have to watch the tutorial for a couple of times and write down the first few steps, then go to my craft area and do those steps. Then come back and watch the next few steps, take notes and go back to work on it. There is only one computer in my home and only one room with grounded plugs where it would be safe to use it.
Beautiful envelope and lovely presentation! Thank you Becca!
Goodness Becca – do you sleep???? How do you come up with all these fab creations? Your video is amazing…… you are one clever girl. tfs

Hi Becca,
What a beautiful idea for an envelope, though it looks more like a gift!
The tutorial, as always, is so clear and precise making it easy to follow, so thank you very much indeed. I will definitely be trying this idea out and I think I will be using it for wedding invitation envelopes.
Take care of yourself whatever you are up to this week.
Hugs Linda

Becca: I just made three envies each a different way as you suggested. My favorite is the pinwheel look with a wide lacy punch, very delicate. Tomorrow I want to try it with designer paper, not cardstock and see how that works. You are one talented lady and thank you for sharing.
Becca your work is simply beautiful
Wonderful idea, beautiful presentations. I am going to give all 3 a try for sure. TFS.

Question: When using the Edgeabilities, did you use your Grand Caliber or can the border be cut using a regular size Cuttlebug?
What a brilliant envelope. I love it. I made two boxes so now I will try this.
I love a challenge. Thank you so much for a wonderful Tuorial.

Hi Becca! Great tutorial. I will be practicing your technique a little more as I think the envelopes are such a wonderful “finishing touch” for any card. You are such a creative and gifted lady. Many Thanks.
that is so cool and creative, thanks for sharing the video!
Your projects are beautiful. I am so impressed with your video style and would love for you to show us how to create them. What camera, software, etc do you use. Any tips to begin making videos would be greatly appreciated also.
