I've just made some Mother's Day cards which are a bit fat owing to the presence of flowers in a 3D vase on the front. Can anyone give me some tips, or even a template, for making an expanding envelope? The cards are tall slim ones; I can probably find a spare envelope to take apart for a basic template, and add to it - but how? In which direction? Do I insert a gusset (ooh, matron) or put pleats in it?
Not sure about an expanding envelope but it's really easy to make boxes from cardstock with a scoring tool. Make sure the 'lid' piece before scoring is 2-3mm larger than the 'base' piece and it should fit fine
