All you need is this DIY cardboard cut out. Place it on paper, trace it, fold it, and create your own envelopes.

I started doing this because I was out of envelopes and the stores were closed in lockdown, so this year my friends and family get a more colourful envelope with their Christmas card.

This dude right here? He works as a Community Manager at Bored Panda. Has no back-story, cause his spine works just fine. He writes about himself in third-person, and in first-person about others. Fell in love with storytelling and cannot let that love go. Now, he's here to help you make your own story simply beautiful. Secretly makes cute music samples and writes stories in the dark that nobody has ever heard of before.

I used to do that, many years ago, when I was at college. I didn't use adverts or magazine images, though, I used decorative paper bags the local shops used to put stuff in. I still make storage boxes myself, from time to time.
