Monster envelope flap cards

 Monster envelope flap cards

I am having fun with these envelope flap cards, as you can tell ... since this is my second post with these style cards.

stamps/dies used: Catherine Pooler squad ghouls, Unity stamp co. sayings

The first two cards I'm showing have the envelope flaps adhered to the layer of the card.  This card is a two for one because, you cut the 4" x 4" pattern paper in half diagonally.  There you have two flaps to layer on to card.  I call this card the sealed envelope flap card.

Measurements/Instructions for open envelope card:

back layer card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

folded card: 5 1/4" x 8" - score at 4" to create card

pattern paper: 4" x 4" folded in half diagonally

Adhere diagonally folded pattern paper to the back of the folded card.  Leave the front half of the diagonally folded pattern paper hanging over to create the open style envelope flap card.  If needed trim off end points of the pattern paper that extends beyond the folded card.  Adhere the folded card with envelope flap to back (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") layer to create the card.  Mount ghouls on circle to closed folded card, with foam tape only on the bottom of circle.  The point of the pattern paper flap tucks under the ghouls on the circle to hold the card closed.  Stamp your saying on the inside of the card.

Envelope flap cards are easy to create.  If you look at the green flap card, you will see that it is adhered to the actual layer.  I did add a strip of the pattern paper with foam mounting tape to the top ... just because I had it left over.  On the other two cards the flaps open.

Measurements and Basic instructions:

Folded base card: 5 1/4" x 8  scored at 4" fold to create card.

back card layer:  4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

envelope flap: 4" x 4" pattern paper - fold in half diagonally.  Adhere one side of the diagonally folded pattern paper to the back of the folded card.  Adhere the folded card with envelope flap to back (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") layer.  This creates the basic envelope flap card.  This card can be vertical, as my cards are here shown, or horizonal.  I will have some horizontal cards later in the month.
