Sizzix | Tutorial Envelope die
One die a few ways of using the envelope
Last time I was here, I showed how to make a card using the actual envelpe die. Today I am still using the same die to create cards, but slightly different this time.
For this project you will need:
Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine Only - 660020 (for the envelope you need the larger 9" width of the Plus)
Card, Stamp, tag and adhesives
I took a prescored card that was 5 x 5 inches square when folded in half.
I placed the square die in place and secure it with low tack tape.
Because the die is almost exactly 5" you can use your standard Sizzix Big Shot to die cut this die, but for the envelope die you will need the Big Shot Plus.
Because of the amount of detail, before lifting the die I always turn it around to make sure that I have cut it through. Usually with 2 passes it is perfectly cut, but it will depend on the card.
Gently I removed all the excess bits. Because they are rather large, I didn't use the die brush.
I cut a square piece of hot pink card and attached it to the back.
Finally, I stamped the message in a white tag and added a brad trough.
I used my Big shot plus to die cut a matching square envelope.
And this is another version which I think would be nice for a wedding, two halves!
I hope you like it and try to use your dies to be creative!

Sizzix | New tutorial make a card using the envelope die
Hi! Today I would like to share a card that I made using the new Square Envelope Die for the Big Shot Plus.
For this project you will need:
Card and adhesives
I die cut the envelope using hot pink card.
Using the scored lines as a guide, I trimmed two of the opposite triangles.
I folded the other two to make sure the scoring lines were properly marked. Then, I placed one of the detail Thinlit dies that come in the set. You get 5 different ones so there is plenty to choose from. I secured it with tape.
Because of the amount of detail, before lifting the die I always turn it around to make sure that I have cut it through. Usually with 2 passes it is perfectly cut, but it will depend on the card.
To remove all the small intricate die cuts, I used the Die release Brush and mat.
I then die cut the circle with the flower Thinlit in and the spiky one, all three dies included on the set. I die cut the spiky one out of light pink, but then preferred in white.
Finally I added a piece of lighter pink for contrast and then the seal.
This would make a lovely wedding invite, I would print the text in the light pink paper and make it double, like a card within a card.
And there it is finished. Very simple with gorgeous detail!
I hope you like it too!
