Use a border punch to punch the "shorter" side. I used a retired SU border punch one of the first items I ever purchased when I joined as a demo. Next you will need to cut a Flower Pot template. Light cardboard or a cereal box will work great. Start with a square that is 3.5"x3.5". Measure 1/2" on 2 corners (in the photo below it is the bottom of the template). Then you draw a line on both sides to the top corner and trim. Use scissors for this **NOT** your trimmer. Now lay the template on top of your flower pot card base and trim off the sides.
You do not need adhesive for your flower pot. Just tie a piece of ribbon or use some washi tape. I used both as you can see in the photo.
The inside piece Tip Top Taupe measures 2.5"x4.5" and the Whisper White is 2.25"x4.25".
Lay your inside piece on top of the envelope (this is a regular A2 sized envelope), when you are attaching your flowers so that you know the finished product will fit inside your envelope.
Don't forget to decorate your envelope.
