I made a new layer via copy out of it, brought it to front, and then filled it with a color, and would tun it on and off as I moved the elements of my envelope to make sure nothing was too close to or crossing the threshold. This left me with a rectangle that represented the top of the envelope to the bottom of the flap. When I did this, I just stuck an envelope to my screen and zoomed to the exact proportions in photoshop (I actually had to input the actual numbers, in the very bottom left corner you can see and edit the zoom proportions.mine was 44.3%) From here I used the rectangular marquee tool and traced along the bottom of the envelope flap then brought the mouse to the top of the canvas and let go of the mouse button.

While I could have custom ordered envelopes, I decided why not just print out my own and save money from having to order custom ones? So I wanted to be able to print them out as I need them and have the addresses I choose.
