Make a Stunning 5×7 Envelope with Liner – Easy SVG Tutorial

Looking to add the perfect finishing touch to your handmade cards? My 5×7 with liner envelope SVGs features a contrasting liner and some contain detailed cutouts on the opening flap—ideal for various themes including birthdays, celebrations, and more. Follow this easy step-by-step tutorial to assemble your envelope using your electronic cutting machine.

Materials You’ll Need

• 5×7 Stars Inset Liner Envelope SVG file or 5×7 Inset Liner Envelope
• Electronic cutting machine capable of cutting 12×12 SVG cutting files (Silhouette Cameo)
• Cardstock for the envelope
• Contrasting cardstock or patterned paper for the liner
• Double-sided tape and/or craft glue – glue may be needed for intricate cut areas

Step 1: Cut the SVG File

Start by uploading the SVG file into your cutting machine software.

• Cut the envelope base using your cutting machine from sturdy cardstock.
• Cut the liner using your cutting machine from lighter or contrasting paper for a dramatic visual effect.

Step 2: Fold the Envelope

Once your pieces are cut, fold the envelope along the score lines.

• Fold the two side flaps inward.
• Fold the bottom flap upward and the top flap downward to check the fit.
  

Step 3: Attach the Liner

With the envelope open and flap lifted:

• Align the liner centered behind the top flap and/or cutout area keeping fold in correct position.
• Apply glue or double-sided tape to the back of the top flap.
• Press the liner in place carefully, ensuring it doesn’t extend beyond the edges. Note: attaching the bottom part of the liner to the inside of the envelope can cause issues with opening and closing so it may be best to leave it unattached.

Step 4: Assemble the Envelope

• Apply adhesive to the bottom flap.
• Fold in the side flaps and fold the bottom flap up and press firmly to secure.
  Let it dry flat for a few minutes before use.

The Finished Result

You now have a stunning handmade envelope that fits standard 5×7” cards. The inset cut patterns paired with a bold liner adds the perfect pop of personality and style—ideal for gifting, invitations, or patriotic occasions.
