It’s Day 4 of our “12 Days of Holiday Giving” event and we certainly don’t have 4 calling birds for you but so much more! Today we are excited to have design team member Virginia Nebel joining us and another amazing prize package with not one, not two but three prizes! Are you ready? Let’s get started…

“On the 4th day of SCT’s 12 Days of Holiday Giving, SCT shared with me….a beautiful project from designer Virginia Nebel and a fabulous prize package from Doodlebug Designs, Altenew and We R Memory Keepers!” 

“Happy Holidays SCT friends, Virginia here to share with you a gift idea that is really easy and fun to make. If you like to make cards to give away, you can add an extra special touch by packaging them in a card-o-lope! (this is a term I made up, an envelope for a bunch of cards!) On the inside of the card-o-lope, there is room to write your personal message.

Here is the front of my Christmas cards that I’ve made for this season,  you can see the card-o-lope can easily hold 4 layered (A2 sized) cards plus 4 envelopes.

Are you ready to make a card-o-lope?

All you need for the base is a 12×9 piece of cardstock and a scoring tool.

  • Step 1a. Score a 12 x 9 cardstock at 3.5, 4, 8.5, 9 and 11 inches.
  • Step 1b. Rotate paper 90 degrees, then score at 1, 1.5, 7.5 and 8 inches.
  • Step 1c. Rotate paper back to the original position, you should have your paper scored as shown by the dashed lines.

  • Step 2. Cut out along the inner score lines as shown.  The gray areas shown in the diagram are cut out.

You are ready to fold and assemble the card-o-lope base.

  • Step 3a. Fold and glue the 1-inch flap to the left to create a nice folded edge for the box portion.
  • Step 3b. Fold the box flaps and secure them to the back of the card-o-lope.
  • Step 3c. Fold the cover into the right to complete the card-o-lope.

To finish, cover the outside with your favourite pattern papers (this will help to double-up on the thickness and make the project sturdier) and embellishments!

Voila, a pretty package for a set of beautiful hand-made cards!” ~ Virginia Nebel
