Another Full Bleed Envelope Technique

Patty Wilson of California wanted to share another full bleed envelope printing technique with all of you computer crafters. Open a blank sheet in your graphics program. Take the envelope that you want to print to the edge, and turn over so that the flap is facing you. Use a picture mounting glue dot dispenser that is sold for scrap booking, and run a line of dots across the very top edge of the back flap of the envelope, and on the bottom outside corners of the envelope back. Flip back over, and mount on a blank sheet of computer paper anywhere in the center of the sheet. The glue dots will temporarily hold the envelope in place on the blank sheet of paper. Go to the Art in the publishing program that you are using, and choose a background that fits the entire 8.5 X 11 blank sheet. Insert your paper with the envelope attached in the printer, and print away. After the blank sheet has finished printing, remove your envelope and use a paper towel or soft cloth to remove the glue dots from the back of the envelope. This works like a charm! Patty printed an all-over confetti design on her envelope, and there were no white borders!
