Magic Envelope Card

[@jackiepugh7475]

Thx 4 posting I just found out DSP is cut 8 1/2" by 11". This is a wonderful way to use up old DSP thx 4 posting this.

[@nancymac2445]

What a fun and beautiful idea! I still enjoy sending letters through the mail and this is such a great way to do that! Thank you for sharing this idea with us!

[@charlottemarek3045]

I love this idea for the Ancestors' Birthday Calendar that I'm making for Christmas presents. I need an envelope-type pocket to hold some of the family photos I'm including, and this will be a fun way to present them!

[@katheriner9613]

So cute

[@bonniedeibel1546]

Very clever way to use DSP for an envelope. Yes, I’m a hoarder of many things, especially when it involves card making. Thanks for the clever idea, Kelly!

[@MyMoppet52]

Cute idea. I can't afford on my budget. I have to plan ahead to get DSP for my cards. Great idea for those not on fixed income. Thank you.

[@Bizmom2u]

Nice. Brings back memories to when we would write notes in class. Exactly how we would fold our notes😊love it😊 love the video😊

[@sharonjjones9487]

I love this Magic Envelope Card technique to use up to hoarded papers, Kelly! TFS!

[@carolhamm3394]

Hi Kelly. I love this idea and your video makes it clear how to do it. I made this and am wondering how you stick it down for mailing ( so the recipient won’t destroy it when opening). Thanks!

[@ritamcloughlin7332]

Oh wow I love this and I have so much paper I need to use Kelly, thank you so much for sharing this with us... Hi from Ireland... rita 🍀🇮🇪🍀

[@carolhamm3394]

Thanks Kelly. Correct, just a note. Love this idea.

[@judithsigler9644]

LOVIN’ this idea to use that DSP, Kelly! If I use it, then I can buy more, right??!! Haha! AND NO GUILT! :-)). I don’t recall ever seeing this before, so it was fun to see somethin’ “new” to me in such a clever way! Bet the postal carriers enjoy the pretty paper, too!! To actually mail, I would use a glue dot to hold down the “stamp” corner as a reassurance it didn’t pop open n’ tear when going through the postal machine! DID YOU??? (Sorry if that was like a “millennial traveler’s question!! BTW, they gave me lots of chuckles!! Thx!) TFS n’ HAPPY STAMPIN’ n’ CREATIN’!! :-))

[@naomicordell1909]

Great idea! I will try this tomorrow!

[@tuthillg]

Very cool! TFS the inspiration!

[@pennywarren2357]

That's awesome! Love this idea! Great gift idea as well.

[@heiditeadt4638]

Kelly, this is a really cute way to send out notes. Thanks for sharing. I have 3 questions for you. 1) you didn't state the size of your DSP. Can you please share it? 2) Do you have a video on this idea using the diagonal board for those who do own one? 3) Can you PLEASE share where you purchased the clear plastic folders to store your DSP? Are they available to fit a full pack of SU cardstock (both sizes)? Thanks for sharing.

[@WorldofMichaelTrent]

Awesome idea!

[@RoniGirl4]

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing! I am going to try this! Absolutely wonderful and you make it looks so easy!

[@claudiapapcun-piegdon2643]

Wow! That was a great little video. I love The magic envelope card and can’t wait to make one myself. Thank you very much!😋

[@gingermckean5258]

What are the measurements of the DSP? That is so important!

[@carolynwilson9782]

Great video!

[@dianamahar483]

Great idea....love it..

[@carolina.studioevans]

Thank you so much for the great DSP hack “helper!”!

[@amyharris5894]

LOVE THIS Kelly!! Yes, I am one of those people who has waaaaaaay too much DSP!!! THANK YOU!!

[@helenhurley834]

Love, love this envelope idea..

[@susanvanschuyver7900]

Love the magic envelope!

[@jt2553]

I didn't know that SU sell coordinating nail polish. LOL! Does the post office accept such envelopes, especially the darker colors?

[@susanp9097]

Yes, the address has to be legible.

[@BSTArgentina]

I love this idea. Can't wait to try it Thanks

[@DonnaJo3452]

Great technique - thanks!

[@kayecharles3633]

cute idea, love it thank you

[@carloshaun7297]

Very, very cool!

[@stephanieschwartzel4949]

Yes, you are a great helper! Great ideas 💡

[@anitawillett3783]

Love that idea!

[@ann-mariepare3784]

WoW what a great idea. Thank you so much for sharing

[@bethpuffer6079]

so neat! love this idea! I can't wait to try to make this

[@pamelab7871]

Looks like this DSP is about 8 1/2 x 11. Is that right? This is an unusual shaped envelope and is sooooo cute! Love it! Now I am going to try it.

[@KellyAcheson]

Yes! So sorry - I forgot to mention the dimensions in the video . but you will always find them on my . blog and the link to my blog is always in the description under the video - a direct link. Thanks so much!

[@virginiabenbow3189]

Wow what a lovely idea can’t wait to try. Thankyou x

[@mtaylor_creations]

Super cute, thanks for sharing!!

[@beverlypope7179]

Kelly, very cute but how does the recipient open the card without ripping it open? Do you add a clue dot under the stamp area flap? Sorry, I need step by step directions. Thanks so much! Blessings!

[@janelbarmes4215]

Yes,what did you seal it with? Need to know.

[@carolhamm3394]

DSP is 81/2 x 11". How do we stick it shut without it being ruined upon opening? Kelly, any thoughts?

[@KellyAcheson]

You just glue it down - the only thing that will be affected is the little tab. This is just a note.

[@roxaneemerson4286]

Love this but what did you use to seal it with ? So lovely

[@conniehinson2310]

Clever!! What are the measurements of the DSP that you used for the envelope?

[@gingermckean5258]

Did you ever get that measurement?

[@conniehinson2310]

@@gingermckean5258 I looked on Kelly's blog. It's a standard 11 X 8 1/2. Cute card!

[@KellyAcheson]

@@gingermckean5258 Yes! So sorry - I forgot to mention the dimensions in the video . but you will always find them on my . blog and the link to my blog is always in the description under the video - a direct link. Thanks so much!

[@janetmuir6011]

Great idea thank you.

[@denisepreece8583]

Very nice

[@marynewell3573]

Kelly,I’m watching an old video where you make a envelope out of a piece of card stock, I’ve gotta be honest I’ve never done this and I’m going to try. But my question is how big is the piece of card stock because it does not look like a 12 x 12

[@reEngineeredPaper]

What a great technique, thanks for sharing! I was wondering, what do you use to keep your design paper in- the one shown in this video? The clear plastic pouch looked like it'll even hold 12x12. Would love to get the name and where you buy them. Thanks!

[@1Cheribaby]

Very clever Kelly....yep I hoard DSP too. It’s too pretty to cut sometimes LOL. Just a note though...if the square you are using for your stamp falls off you will obviously lose the stamp too. You cannot glue or tape a stamp on anything going through the USPS. You are correct in saying the stripes are easier for mailing. The scanners can have difficulty reading writing when the envelopes are too busy. This can delay your mail because it then has to be sorted by hand. Thank you so much for another great video

[@joycegandy7305]

I love that idea and thank you:-)

[@karennevin3529]

crazy cool!!!!! L 💚VE !!!!!

[@dawnnelson7651]

How do yo seal it?

[@andreasanders6737]

great idea, thanks for sharing. Yes what measurement is the envelope?

[@Lollyllama143]

Has anyone figured out how to seal the envelope for mailing??? I’m not sure what to use and it wasn’t addressed in the video.

[@KellyAcheson]

You just add a dab of glue under the little square or you can use Tear & Tape. Thanks for watching!

[@Lollyllama143]

Kelly Acheson Thank you so much! I have already made one and they are so much fun. Your video was awesome 🌼🌼

[@ericalaross5993]

Wonderful video! Did you say you're in Menasha? I'm in Kaukauna!

[@sandraberton7650]

Erica Jackson , I’m in Ripon!

[@lyndaarnall1507]

Do you stick the stamp flap down, I am thinking it might get torn in the post. Lovely idea though

[@KellyAcheson]

Yes - it lays pretty tight to the envelope. I have not had any problems in the post office.

[@susanp9097]

Love it, now I can use my ugly dsp.....gasp......lol

[@gingermckean5258]

Thank you Connie!

[@jackiepugh7475]

What are the measurements of DSP. 11" by 6 or 8 ?

[@janissinko1312]

Couldn't find it on your blog....did anyone figure out the size if the DSP? I'm guessing 6x12

[@patrice8257]

If you don't glue the card the receipient can reuse the paper doing something else.

[@christineplacek6651]

What size dsp did you use please

[@marthamiller6116]

Love this! How do you seal it for mailing? Just a glue dot?

[@leibro4u]

I wondered about that also.

[@deborahclark6186]

That how I made envelopes before I got the envelope maker.

[@lindasd1942]

Love this project and would like to save it to my pinterest file but I do not see the save button. Any suggestions?

[@susanp9097]

Do you see thumbs up/down then to the right it says save....at least on my tablet. You can go to splitcoast stampers, she is the guest host and it is there too.

[@loriwikoff1410]

Did I miss the DSP size?

[@jeaniecoulter2489]

That is a neat idea. What is the size of the DSP? 🌞

[@susanp9097]

8.5 x 11

[@elvirashobbies448]

Is it 81/2 X 11? Thank you

[@carol-annbeckett3607]

What size is your envelope? Paper

[@dhauxhurst]

Very Unique way to send a special note! Where did you get the sleeve you have your DSP in?

[@ireneharrison7630]

Is the Magic Envelope size paper 8 1/2 x 11?

[@KellyAcheson]

Yes! So sorry - I forgot to mention the dimensions in the video but you will always find them on my blog and the link to my blog is always in the description under the video - a direct link. Thanks so much!
