The Card Fold
What if you don’t have card stock to print the cards on? If you’re like
most people, you need a greeting card right away! That’s no problem!
There’s another way to print to print the cards, which we call “the
Fold.” This simple technique allows you to make a great looking card
and envelope using only two sheets of regular paper!
For the card, face the design toward you. Then fold the very top and
bottom portions away from you, followed by the left and right portions.
Then fold the entire sheet in half the short way first followed by in
half the long way. The last step is to put tape on the thin folds on
the inside in order to keep the card together and make it sturdy.
That’s it! You have the card!
Now, the envelop fold is a little trickier! Don’t worry though, we
guide you through all the steps so you will be a pro at making your own
greeting cards from scratch all the time!

entire process can be a little tricky at first, so we made a video

to play. Follow along, and you'll be an envelope folding master in no
