1.Place your card on top of your envelope and measure the space which is empty on the left side (looking at the front of your envelope). My strip of filler paper is approximately 1 1/4" wide x 4 1/4" tall. You should still have a nice even space around each element. This is a good way to measure any size of envelope you are working with, whether it is an A2 or A7.
2.Using a decorative punch which is no wider then 3/4". Punch through the entire side of your envelope making sure you have approximately 1/2" of space on the edge.
3.Slide a piece of patter paper or solid color paper that matches your card inside your envelope. Make sure it is right up against the sides. Now using a glue stick or other adhesive, adhere the envelope to your paper. Make sure you get around the punched areas really well so they don't lift up when going through the Postal Services machines. Let dry
4.Place your card inside the envelope, should fit snug, but still have room to pull in and out without a struggle.
Here you have it, a decorative envelope that holds your square card snug and save you postage!
