Envelope card



 The best thing about me eldest sister is, she's an innovative person who triggers people to make something creative. And she's the one one who inspired me to make this 'envelope' card.

About a week ago, my sister had to attend her friend's wedding, and she asked me to make a wedding card. I said: okay, why not? Then, she asked me to make an envelope, I said no, I don't make envelopes. So, she asked me to make a card that doesn't require any envelope. Suddenly, this 'envelope card' idea crept into my mind. 

I didn't use any template for making this card, and so, the scoring and the cutting process took a while. The key of making the card base, is to make an isosceles triangle protruding on each side, and you have to make sure that the triangle on the upper and lower side is slightly longer than half the width of the rectangle in the center. And also, the left and the right triangle have to be slightly longer than half the length of the rectangle in the center. You also have to cut a slit on the center of the upper triangle and the right side triangle, so that they can interlock the triangle on the opposite side and prevent them from keep opening.

Anyway, my sister use this envelope card not only as a greeting card, but she also used it as a holder of her angpao (red envelope). 


That's the card for this week, enjoy! :)
