Hi there! I'm back with a second post for Ewe-N-Me Printables and again I have a tutorial to share on how to maximize your digital goodies. Today I'm working with a Printable Cocoa/Seed Pack Envelope called Deposit Seed Co. , and I'm altering it to make an envelope card. The great thing about this is that you can match the original treat envelope with the card to give as a gift. This step by step tutorial is possibly the easiest tutorial ever and I'm sure you will be able to make the card right away after you see how I made it. 1. First, cut the envelope in half as shown below. Cut also the flap on the side (bottom). You are left with two pieces that should look like this: 2. Use the flap on the largest piece to adhere the smallest one. The flap should go below the smallest piece (or on the inside) . 3. Layer the inside and embellish your card as desired.   Easy as 1-2-3 right? Well, I hope you enjoyed my little card and that you find t

Hello and welcome to my first post as part of Ewe-N-Me Printables DT. It's nice to be here, sharing ideas that hopefully will help you maximize your printables. Digital products are vital now a days, because they simplify your paper crafts and allow you to customize your creations. And that is the case with today's project. Using one of Ewe-N-Me's French Country Prints, Pink Rose , I was able to create a card set and a matching box to hold it. After you learn how to print the files, you'll find it's quite easy. So after I show you my project I'll guide you with the basic printing instructions, so you can replicate what I made. This box is 5"x 6.5"x 2/8" and the one layered cards that it contains are 5 2/8"x 4". The basic materials I used were the images, white cardstock, a paper trimmer (with a score blade) and of course my printer.  Now, to print the box the first thing you need to do is create a copy of the fi
