July 28, 2016 by Francine Clouden

If you love making your own envelopes, you’re going to adore this tutorial! Custom envelopes are incredibly handy, especially when it comes to adding that personal touch to scrapbook pages, mini-books, or even for giving gifts. The best part? You can make them in any size or style to match your project perfectly.

This tutorial will teach you how to create an envelope using scrapbook paper and origami folding techniques. Origami is such a versatile skill, and using it to make envelopes is a clever way to repurpose your favorite patterned papers into functional, beautiful creations.

Once you’ve mastered this technique, you’ll be able to make custom envelopes for any occasion. Whether it’s for a card, a mini note, or even small keepsakes, you’ll have the freedom to create exactly what you need—whether it’s a specific size or design to complement your project. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to use up your scrapbooking paper scraps, so nothing goes to waste.

All you need to get started is your favorite patterned scrapbook paper, a ruler, and a little time. That’s it! No special tools required, just a simple, fun way to create your own personalized envelopes. You’ll be amazed at how easy and satisfying it is to fold and assemble these beautiful, handmade envelopes. Happy crafting!

FREE Beauty and the Beast Book Nook Cut Files

Beauty and the Beast is my all time favorite Disney movie and that’s saying a lot since I’m a huge Disney fan! Miss Mandee is also a big fan since she designs so many wonderful Disney inspired paper crafting projects including this stunning Book Nook. This layered die cut design features Belle and the Beast silhouettes dancing on the iconic staircase in Beasts castle with candelabras on the sides (a nod to Lumiere) and a big chandelier hanging above. She’s also used rose pattern paper for the backdrop and rolled paper roses on the front to represent the Beasts magic rose. She’s sharing these cut files for FREE that you can use with your electronic die cutting machine to make your own Beauty and the Beasts Book Nook to place between your Disney scrapbooks on a shelf.
