This week's card map comes from a card recently created for Mother's Day. I think this style of card is a great unique alternative for any occasion. Father's Day is coming up soon, so wouldn't this style of card look great in masculine colors, with a golfer or fisherman stamped on the front?

| Crimped Envelope Card Map |
NOTES:
- This style of card can be made with any size envelope. If you intend to mail it through the USPS, you will want to make sure you have a slightly larger envelope for this 'envelope card" to fit in.
- Insert a sealed envelope into paper cutter & trim about 1.5" off - the part you cut off is the lid.
- The secret to this card is in the crimping - sideways crimping shrinks the width of the envelope enough so that the "lid" fits on.
- The insert card is simply cardstock (layered in this case) cut to be slightly smaller than the envelope.
- Stamp Sets: Four Frames (Stampin' Up Summer Mini 2011 Catalog), Teeny Tiny Wishes (IB&C 2010/2011)
- Colors: Basic Gray, Pink Pirouette & Whisper White
- dsp: Did you purchase the Love Impressions Specialty Designer Series Paper from the Occasion Mini Catty 2011? If you have some of the "x's & o's" patterned paper left over, you can use it on a card other than Valentine's Day! Alternatively, ANY dsp to coordinate with your color scheme will do!
- I sponged the little birdy with Pink Pirouette!
