Window Envelope Card Ideas

There are many uses for eye-catching window envelope cards. Today I’ll talk about making …

Window Envelope Cards for Mailing
To make a window envelope card for mailing, your cutout window must be positioned to the left of the envelope allowing room on the right for addressee information and postage stamps.

If you will be doing multiple window envelope cards, say for invitations, thank you or Christmas cards, you will want the window to be easy to cut. That means your frame shape should be simple like a rectangle unless you have a shape cutting system like Fiskars ShapeCutter.

Here are some ideas for items you can use to frame the window cutout:
• Gift box with big bow, cupcake (as in the photo above), birthday cake for a birthday party:
• Simple house, window or open front door for a housewarming or change of address;
• Button frame for a toddler’s birthday (“Cute as a Button”);
• Picture frame for any occasion.

The window envelope card above was created in Adobe Photoshop and uses Scrap Girls products by the following graphic designers: Melissa Renfro, Erica Hite, and Amanda McGee.

I also used papers from the free Refresh2 Scrap Girls Biggie and a free template from Jessica Sprague.
