Thanks for this video Karen, you gave me LOTS of ideas to get more use out of mine. I don’t know why I never thought of using my gel prints or book pages, and you know how those can add up! Ardyth on TH-cam loves to make square cards, and I’ve been wanting to try my hand at it, so thanks for the encouragement to try a square envelope. I think the ATC sized ones are adorable, and sure to get a lot of use with gift cards too. I’d love to see another video on new ideas for this tool. I’m sure that your out of the box thinking will have me using this a lot more!
At my age, I have to keep learning…don’t want my brain to turn to mush! I think a selection of little envelopes would be a great happy mail gift for my journaling friends, and practically free too!
Looks like you had great fun with your new toy. Great tips about calculations. I don't have a machine, but that's really useful when I make the odd envelope for handmade cards. Never trust glue stick, especially on anything with texture. Some sort of pokey tool is good for pulling backing off double sided tape😊. I use craft glue in a tiny squeezy bottle. I absolutely love your gel prints..they are so lovely. Thanks as always for sharing 😊
Thanks for watching! Yes I have a pokey tool..but was too lazy to get it out. Yes the glue stick was a fail. I also have glue in tiny bottle.....again was too lazy or didnt think of it. I found lots of other things you can make with the envelope punch so there may be more videos using it. K
Hello Karen, TYFS your experiences with the envelope punch board. I have one also, but get mixed up with it. I really enjoyed your tutorial. Take care, see you soon 🤗
Good tips. I have had this punch board for a few years and have not used it very much. Mostly because of the print being so small on the board itself. I will probably just use the calculator online from now on. Thank you for the tips.
I sometimes use the white side of a printed paper for the outside of the envelope, particularly when the print is dark or busy. It's not as classy as lining the envelope, but it's interesting and often I need to start with a piece of 12" x 12" scrapbooking paper for larger envelopes.
Thank you for the tip about the measurements. I have one of these, I love it, but now that I'm older, I can't see the measurements on the board anymore. Now I can go to pinterest and find all the numbers!
Hi Karen, nice to see you experiment with a new toy! I have never seen or heard of this before. I assume that you can use the thin glue tape strips on the seal flap. I just googled and found out that there are nine key parts of an envelope , who knew! Seal Flap, Seal, Throat, Shoulder, Side Flap, Face, Bottom Flap(Back), Side Fold,Bottom Fold.
Glad you enjoyed it! There's always a learning curve with new products. I found other things you can make using the envelope punch....maybe another video soon. K
The online calculator gives a snugger fit than the table does; I prefer it. The biggest disadvantage of using the punch board for me is that it doesn't provide the squared-off flap I prefer that I can get with my old Sizzix Pro dies for A2, A7, and A6 cards. The dies also have the advantage of being able to use stripes without getting some wonky diagonal-not every pattern will work well. Still, it's the quickest way to make a non-standard sized envelope.
I tried using my envelope punch board to make this envelope flip book. I seemed to have a problem with the envelopes all being in equal size. Some of the envelopes came slightly larger then the others. Can you please help me? I do really like this board. Easy to use. Thanks
It is near impossible for me to know why you ended up with different sizes. ( my guess is precision if cutting to size ) I’d either embrace the imperfection or make a lot more of them and use the ones that are most alike.
This video is more than a year old, so the demonstrator won't see my comment. However, envelopes look much better when the side flaps are closed first and the bottom flap is last. That is how commercial envelopes are designed. They're more secure that way and, in my opinion, more attractive.

LOL I love when you come across an idea and think...why didnt I think of that....we are always learning. K

I know...It frustrates me that the punch board has such small print...but glad to have found the work around.
Great tips as always, thank you!

I like the idea of using the white side at times. thanks for the idea. K

Thank you for adding information that other viewers can benefit from.
What is the smallest envelope you can create with this punch board?
The smallest I made was about 21/2. X3/1/2
