Envelope Liners Part2

Finished Envelope and Liner

Today's envelope liner is even easier than yesterday's liner. In this liner, you simply take two measurements, cut the paper to size, fold the paper in half and and insert into your envelope.

One of the ways to dress up a vellum envelope is to place a paper liner with a fun pattern in the envelope to nestle the contents of the letter.

Measuring the Envelope
Step One--Measure the width of your envelope and deduct 1/8th inch from this measurement. For my liner, the width of the envelope is 9 3/8" which makes my paper 9 1/4" in width.

Step Two--Measure the height of your envelope, deduct 1/8th inch from this measurement and double this measurement. For my liner, the height of the envelope is 4 1/8" which makes this measurement 4" which doubles to 8" for the paper.

Assembling the Liner
Using the measurements above, cut your paper to size. Making sure the orientation is correct, fold the paper so that the top edge meets the bottom edge. Therefore making your liner 9 1/4" wide by 4" tall.

Insert your liner with the crease side down into the envelope. You do not need to glue the liner in place and you want the open end facing up so that the recipient can see the contents inside the liner. One of the reasons that you don't glue this liner is because glue/tape will show through the vellum.

This is a fun way to add interest to a vellum envelop. You can place the address on the liner so that it show through the vellum or you can write on the vellum itself. Once again, this is a great way to use up some of those odd scrapbooking papers that you don't know how to use otherwise.

A very fast and easy way to dress up an envelope.
