Beginner Card Making: Card Base and Envelope Sizes Tutorial

Do you have artwork you’d love to turn into handmade cards, but you’re not sure how to make everything fit the envelopes you already have? In this video, I show how I take my painted artwork and turn it into the focal point of a greeting card by measuring and sizing the card base, artwork, and envelope so they all work together. I’ll walk through how to measure your envelope, choose the right size card base, and use layering to make your artwork stand out while still fitting perfectly inside the envelope. This is a great way to use your artwork, scrapbook paper, and thrifted envelopes to create beautiful handmade cards that are ready to mail. If you’ve ever made a card and then realized you didn’t have an envelope to fit it, this process will help you plan your card making so everything coordinates from the start. 💜 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell so you won’t miss future projects:    / @tammyprara   In this video you’ll learn: • How to measure an envelope • How to size your card base to fit • How to size your artwork for the front of the card • Layering techniques • How to use your artwork as the focal point of handmade cards • How to make cards using envelopes you already have This is a simple and flexible card making process you can use with any artwork, any scrapbook paper, and any envelope size.
