Envelope Liner Tutorial

I’ve had a few requests for this tutorial.  Its not mine, by any means, but here’s my version...    Grab your envelope and DSPTrim you DSP so it will slide down into your envelope with ease.  The piece above is just a tad over 5 1/2” by 4”  Your length only has to slip past the opening, it doesn’t have to slip all the way to the base of the envelope.

Turn over your envelope and trace around the flap.  You can just line up the top edge of the flap to top edge of the DSP and just trace the sides.

You can barely see my pencil lines in the above photo, on each upper edge.  I usually try to line up the top of my paper to the top of the flap.  But some flaps are rounded and you will have to trace the entire flap.   Now trim the around the flap and slip it back into your envelope, lining it up, right under the adhesive on the envelope.

Now that your DSP is in the correct place, fold the flap down.  This is so the DSP will have the same crease. Now open it back up, leaving the DSP right where it is. 

Add adhesive to the edges and to the top of your flap only.  See below.  You don’t want adhesive anywhere else, or it could buckle.

Now fold your envelope flap back down onto your DSP.   Any thats it.

I hope you get lots of use of this little liner.  You could always make one out of the Window Sheets/Clear Cardstock (114323 Med thickness or 114324 Thick) to keep as a template. 

Enjoy...
