I once had a plastic shop-bought template for making them...that too has been swallowed up in the snowy regions of the cupboard...but who needs shop bought, when by simply deconstructing an existing envelope, you can create your own card template...
...and then the world is your oyster! Any paper, old magazine pages, old wrapping paper can become the most cheery envelope for that personal postal delivery!
Start with a card template and pages from an old magazine...
...add a little bit of basic origami magic...
...and you have conjured a beautiful array of unique envelopes!
Next to create my own labels to write the address on...
...oh and careful positioning of the template is vital I discovered; one of my envelopes has a lovely close-up of a tubby bird tummy...while the head has disappeared over the back!
