Customizing Off-the-Shelf Envelopes

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Sometimes we create a card which just will not fit any envelopes we have, this happened to me just this past week when I needed to mail a card I had made a few weeks ago. I could have used my envelope punch board but did not have a piece of plain paper large enough for the job, so I scratched my head a little and came up with today’s idea.
