PAINTED CHRISTMAS POCKET ENVELOPE

Today I am sharing a pocket envelope I made using the Painted Christmas Suite. It was so easy to make with minimal supplies, cutting & gluing!
The Painted Christmas Suite is one of my favorite suites in the Stampin Up Holiday mini catalog.
The suite is one of the larger ones featured, includes 2 stamp bundles (stamp sets and dies) ribbon, designer series paper and gold holly leaves.
If you remember back a little while back, Stampin Up offered Painted Seasons and Painted Autumn; Painted Christmas is very similar in look.
It's just so pretty and the designer series paper is very subtle to me but really makes an impact.

Please refer to the video below for further detail on how to put the envelope together.

You need a piece of DSP or Cardstock that measure 9 1/2x 7 1/4
On the 9 1/2 side score at 4 1/2 and 9
On the 7 1/4 side score at 1/2 and 6 1/4
Fold and burnish all score lines.

Below you can see i shaded in the areas that will need to be removed.

Now for the trimming.  With the 1/2 score line to the right, you will need to remove the bottom section and top section from the 4 1/2 score line over to the end...refer to the photo below.

Flip over and add adhesive to the 1/2 section, fold in half and adhere that  flap 1/2 section
Fold up the bottom section and adhere it down.

On the top flap, this is the 1" section, I used the little slit that is available in the Seasonal Labels dies. It creates a little opening on the DSP, perfect to feed the ribbon through. Load the pocket with a card or treat first. Wrap your ribbon around and thread up from the bottom into the slit. Tie into a bow.
For the greeting, I used Real Red and Basic White cardstock, chose 2 label dies in different size from the Seasonal Labels die set and cut them out. I stamped the greeting from A Christmas to Remember stamp set.
Using the same die set, I cut out different leaves and berries. I used a combo of Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent and Real Red. Layered them around the greeting.
