Thinking of you - cards using regular letter envelopes

One of my greatest pet peeves is not having an envelope for a card, and now that I have started making cards, I find myself finding the envelope before I start the card - LOL! I always thought if only I could come up with card patterns for regular letter envelopes I'd be set, so here's my 365 Cards Day 141 take on the sketch and my idea... I used abit of creative licence and turned the template to make it work with my idea :)

    love the bright colours!
    I am the same with envelopes, I use a 12x12 cardstock base (carft brown a favorite atm) and trim at 4inch mark , this long piece can be used as a top fold card or for mounting images on, then I cut the remaining piece in half (6inch mark) so both pieces measure 8x6 and they are a perfect fit for C6 size envelopes :)

    That's a very pretty card. I nearly turned the sketch too . . . but wasn't brave enough in the end!

    aha....aren't you a smarty-pants for turning the sketch! It looks fabbie!!!! Your comment about the envies cracked me up...that's how I am with my tupperware...for some reason I've lost some of the lids and grrr...I always pick the tupperware without a lid...yes, I should toss them but I haven't...anyways, I have a huge stash of certain sized envies and only make cards to fit them..

    I love your card and that you turned the sketch. I guess I really am a rebel as I never worry if I have an envie to match. I just make one if I need to. But then again, I love making cards....sending them...not so much. LOL
