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.
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.

Materials Needed
Silhouette Cameo or Portrait cutting machine (or other compatible machine)
Optional: Matching 5×5” envelope SVG (Design ID D-181609 ) See store links for other available store options
Step 1: Set Up Your SVG in Silhouette Studio
Open the SVG file in Silhouette Studio and arrange the design elements by colour. The default size is for a 5×5 inch folded card, but you can scale it up to suit your preferences. Make sure to use separate cutting pieces for each colour of cardstock.
Step 2: Cut the Design Pieces
Load each piece of coloured cardstock onto your cutting mat and send the design to cut. The file includes:
Card base with Golf Ball, Tee & Happy Father’s Day cutouts
Golf Ball Cutout Background
Word art “Happy”
Tee Cutout Background
“Father’s Day” text cutout with optional backing layer
Card insert for your message and/or backing layer
Use a spatula to gently lift each element from the mat to keep edges clean.
Step 3: Assemble the Card
Begin with the card base laid open. Adhere the golf ball backing to the top half of the card behind the golf ball cutout, placing the tee beneath the tee cutout. Next, layer the “Happy” word art over the ball, then attach the (optional) coloured cutout backing behind the “Father’s Day” cutout text to make it pop. Finally, add the message insert inside the card which can also be used as the optional cutout backing for one of the elements.
Step 4: Optional Envelope
Complete your project by cutting a coordinating 5×5” envelope using Design ID D-181609 . It fits the card perfectly and adds a polished, professional touch.
This sporty, handmade Golf Ball Father’s Day card is a fantastic way to celebrate your dad’s favourite hobby. With a bit of cardstock and creativity, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind greeting he’ll treasure.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Create the Card Front In Silhouette Studio, draw a rectangle sized 10.2″ x 5.2″ and fill it with the watercolor floral background. To fill a shape with a pattern in Silhouette Studio, select the shape, open the Fill Panel, click the Pattern Fill tab, and choose your desired pattern from the available options or import your own. The slightly larger rectangle acts as a bleed, ensuring the background prints edge-to-edge.
2. Add the Card Template Paste the 10″ x 5″ card template over the background and centre it. This template includes cut and score lines to form your card base.
3. Enable Print & Cut Settings Turn on Print & Cut with registration marks enabled. Print the design on photo paper or white cardstock using your home printer.
4. Cut by Line in Silhouette Studio When sending your printed design to your cutting machine, make sure to cut by line colour. Turn off cutting for the larger background rectangle—this is only used for bleed and should not be cut. Ensure only the template border and score lines are active in your cut settings.
5. Fold the Card Once cut, fold along the score line to form your card base.
6. Import the Sentiment Open the Best Mum Ever or Best Mom Ever sentiment SVG in Silhouette Studio.
7. Cut the Sentiment Cut the sentiment from white cardstock or any colour of your choice.
8. Create and Cut an Offset Use the Offset tool set to 0.085″ to create a border for your sentiment. Adjust the offset shape as needed using the Edit Points tool, especially if you’d like to remove small inner cut areas based on your preference.
9. Assemble the Sentiment Glue the sentiment onto the sentiment border (offset layer) and let it dry.
10. Finish the Card Add adhesive foam tape to the back of the assembled sentiment and adhere it to the front of your card for dimension and impact.
