ReplyDeleteHiya Sharon darling,
ReplyDeleteI buy 8x8 whte envelopes on their own from TheRange but you can get 8x8 card blanks and env's at Joanna Sheen....i can usually get away with the flowers as i make my base just under the 8x8 gives you some leeway on the 'slackness' of the envelope, but, if i find i havent got enough room and its a special card i will, buy or make a box, you can as well, and i have, wrap the card in bubble wrap and then put into a jiffy bag and send, hugs hun and thanks for the lovely comment, hope ive helped ya!! xxxxVick
