Oh my gosh Maymay! I knew that I would find a tutorial on making your own envelopes without a punch board by simply typing "Maymay made it envelope" in the search bar! I love you soooo much! Thank you for being you! I can always count on you to accommodate we who don't have all the fancy tools (yet).... 😘
I could HUG you right now!!! I own the Crafters Companion and have yet to begin to discover it all and watch the videos. So far used it for scoring, but for only one card type and size. Envelopes, never imagined it would be so simple now!! I can refer to the booklet and get the measurements instead of wasting a whole day guessing and watching videos on how to make an "any size envelope". Lesson learned. If you have something as brilliant as the score board - USE IT!!! am laughing but so cross with myself for the day lost.....now having fun making them.!!! You are the best!!
I love the way your template with the used envelope. You do a very good job explaining information. Thank you.
I love this video. I just ran out of envelopes and needed 2 and now I have them. Thank you, Michelle
Oh my dear, YOU are so clever! I LOVE your precious accent! YOU are one of my TOP Fav’s on here! You don’t complicate things! I do have a question for you though..WHAT adhesive can I use IF I’m sending my envelopes to others to SEAL when THEY use them for the first time? Thank you so much in advance! Blessings!
Amy, thank you, as always, for your tips and techniques. Your no nonsense style and projects are always wonderful.
Just a small suggestion of my own. When you have a card that has 'sticky out bits' making it difficult to place in the envelope - you can always address the envelope first (which I do anyway) then put your card in the other way - the front of the card facing the address side of the envelope. Then it should slide in much easier. I like to do it this way so that the recipient has to turn the card to see the front - revealing the surprise of the card and not sneak peeking! ;) Julie
Julie Blake Good idea! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!! So simple..never thought of undoing another envelope and making the template, although I have done that on other projects LOLLL. Awesome tutorial as always.
Brilliant! Although I have an envelope board, I would use your technique for the odd sizes rather than interpolate from the measurement chart on the board - so much simpler. I’ve watched quite a few envelope making videos and yours makes the most sense by far.
I love your voice!!! and I really appreciate your instruction! Very clear and easy to understand. Thank you!
Totally fantastic. Brand new at paper crafting, trying to gather some supplies on a tight budget and this helped tremendously. TFS!
I needed an easy tutorial for DIY envelopes and this was it! I have the WRMK small and reg. but they are MIA and I am doing no spend September so I have to make some! thank you so much MayMay!
Thank you for the video. Have planned on starting my Christmas cards in black and white and wanted black envelopes. now I can make my own black envelopes. Can't wait to get started.
Maymay your video was the easiest of all to make an envelope. Thank you!
This is the most helpful tutorial I've seen so far on u tube. Thank you MayMay. Love it. Blessings!
I made a card 15cm by 20 cm didn't think about the envolope untill I finished then after watching lots of videos I found your was amazing easy to follow and can now make them any shape or size thanks to your clear instructions 👍
Thank you so much this has really helped me. Maymay you have a great way of making the the complicated super easy. I love your videos. I am a new subscriber
Maymay , I just love your videos. Thanks for such wonderful ideas. Got two envelope makers, the crafters companion, and the punch board but yesterday I made a hexagons card and had a dickens of a time making an envelope. If I would have waited a day I could have used your second method and saved myself some paper.
peggyswain Good idea! I would have struggled with a hexagon one too!
maymay thanks for sharing this great idea, as I'm a new comer to the crafty world with limited supplies its save me a lot of time ( and money too). Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for sharing I will definitely be making some of these for my homemade cards that I hand out this Christmas the envelopes in the stores cost here in Canada $39 for the A2 cards 75 envelopes I'll be able to save lots of money love your DIYs thank you so much for sharing and God bless you my dear friend
Great tutorial, many thanks. Very clear instructions and just what I needed as I have some awkward sized home-made cards. Thank you so much!
Lovely idea, my grandson loves to make cards and I will make him templates for his envelopes and take them with me when I fly up to Queensland for Christmas with the family , thanks for the tutorial!!!
Maymay, you are awesome, thank you for wonderful easy to follow instructions!!!
Thank you so much MayMay, this was so helpful. So easy. I love all of your videos. They are all awesome.
Thank you for sharing this. I don’t own a punch board and I have some cards that I need envelopes for so this will help me so much. Have a wonderful day
I have done these three ways of making envelopes for years. I like to make envelopes out of my old calendars or you can use gift wrap paper to just some ideas.
very nice idea ! I didn't understand the directions on the envelope maker ! this makes things easier !!
Maymay, you are amazing! Thanks for all you share.
Thank you!! I am new to crafting and have no supplies so I will use your diy punch board trick! Thanks!!
I make envelopes on my cricut. Love the way you make cards and envelopes. New to stamping. Do you need to clean your stamps every time you use them? Love your tutorials. Also love your store. Just bought some great stamps etc. my first order from you. ❤️
I really like using my grid quilting ruler in paper crafts. For example I can just line up the ruler to measure 0.5 inch in from the edge and either cut, score or draw a line.
Thank you so much Maymay! This was so helpful! God bless you.
Wow, so simple! Love it. I get cads in the mail, like mass cads, etc. I can't use all that I get. So I recycle some & keep the envelopes. I use them for my cards that I make. But if I ever run out, I can make my own now. Thanks.
Another great tutorial, Amy! Got to love quick and easy!
Kim Schultz Thanks Kim!
Thank you so much! I have been looking for a good envelope tutorial! Very easy to understand. My only question is how do you know what size to make for your card?
Why didnt i find this video earlier lol, the paper i have wasted trying to make envelopes is unreal, Thanks for making a video that was easy to understand
Thanks for the good info and variety.
What kind of tape do you hold it together with? Do you use the same tape to hold the envelope together as you do with the flap that the receiver opens? I imagine you'd need something sturdy to hold it together, yet something not so heavy for the flap.
Thank you, Maymay, for this tutorial. Question, how do I determine what size paper to use & the fold/score lines if I'm making an envelope other than A2? I prefer the straight edge envelops over triangle
Brilliant, Fantastic, Super and so Easy Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou I now know how to use 3 packs of my old letterhead stationary and rather old reflex copy paperpacks
MayMay love your crafts !
Thanks! I'm always making envelopes for homemade cards but it usually takes me a few tries. Love your video! BTW, I never heard of an envelope punch board before now. LoL
Thanks I like the last one it's easy and simple
Fantastic video. So easy for me to make them.
Would you please tell me exactly the name of and where to purchase two of the products you used?... the scoring tablet that has measurements and the scoring "pen" that has the ball-shape on the end. I realize that you said you purchase from yourself, but I am having trouble finding those exact tools. Thank you!
Awesome super easy ideas. Thanks heaps :)
Really enjoyed this video. Thank You and God bless you.
This should be a really helpful video for anyone that doesn't have the punch board. TFS...Blessings...Bobbie
This helped me out so much, knowing I can just use an old envelope to make a new one. Thank you for these tips. I have to use a magnifying glass if I can ever find it to be able to use the punch board.. 🙃
Hello Maymay! My name is Willetta and today your husband came into my office (I work for 911 in Lowndes) and told me to subscribe to you, so I did! I have a small channel and I craft as well, though I haven't made any vids of it yet. Looking forward to watching!!!
WEDUNN Hi Willetta! Thanks so much for subbing! Now I know he is doing his job!! He is marketing for me! I will check out your channel!
There is an app that will give you the dimensions of what size paper you need for what envelopes. It's called envelope generator. Works great, esp if you don't have the punch board. Love the first envie.
Thanks for the info!
Thank you Maymay. I do have the envelope punch board but probably would use a template sometime. I will save this video for future reference.
Joyce B Thanks Joyce!
What is the best paper to use for envelopes. You first was just copy paper. Does that hold up? Is card stock better? More expensive I know. What do you use for your envelopes?
I buy pre made envelopes. I am not as fond of making them. But when I do make them I use paper rather than card stock. The envelopes I purchase are made of paper as well.
Thanks maymay just what I needed at this time for an irregular size card !
Take apart an envelope and make a template, such a simple idea yet I never thought of it lol. Thanks as always Amy. Hugs
Mimi Zabela I have been taking a lot of things a part lately. I learned it from Chicnscratch, she takes apart boxes and remakes them so it is really neat to do! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I ALMOST had it right. 😊
Thank you for sharing. I think that tracing the original envelope is easier. the other idea is great to.
Thanku so much for sharing beautiful envelopes 💓
Thankyou these are great tutorials. Regards Rita
May May you should have done this video before I bought the envelope punch board! Easy peasy!
Michelle Johnson sorry!! But now you have a great tool for making envelopes! I love mine!
Thank you :) I LOVE ALL of your videos! You know EVERYTHING! LOL So I am hoping you might be able to help me figure out how to do the straight flap envelopes in LARGE sizes?? :D LOL I make a lot of 6x6 and 8x8 cards and always only get to use the *pointed* style envelopes, like you have done here...I measure the diagonal of the card...add ONE inch to that size and cut a square out just like you did :) But, HOW do I make the straight flap ones in these sizes, or any odd size? Do you know? LOL Thanks again for *being YOU*!
Very helpful Thank you Maymay
Thanks been needing this.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Awesome MAYMAY!
Thank you so much for sharing this is a lot better than dealing with guessing out the measurements in the score board would surely appreciated if you make a tutorial with the score board zoomed in close and show where is the 3/4 3/8 so that I can mark my scar board and know where is the 3/4 and the 3/8 as I know I'm not the only one that don't have a clue about these measurements thank you
maria charles I am ashamed to say that I have been asked to do a measurement video so many times and I haven't yet. I will make on next week. It is confusing and can be hard to know for sure. Thank you for the reminder!
You are so welcome thank you so much love your work 😊
Hi Amy, my env. punch board doesn't make the right size env. The A2 size is too big and the one smaller is too small. I get so frustrated with it. How can I adjust it so it makes the right size? I really like the tutorial but I'd like to use my punch board too.
Thanks and hugs, Debi
Excellent! As usual!
Cool beans! I haven't gotten an envelope punch board yet.
Great stuff as always. TFS
Fantastic teacher
What is that board you used to make envelopes
LOVE these!!!
That it amazing i love it thank you
a very nise Envelope ,what are the CM from the paper !
I have an envelope punch board but these are great techniques for when you are not near the punch board :)
Craft Corner with Esther C Agree!
thank you, another great video. x
I LOVE this...however...how do we determine envelope width for the first card? My card is 6 1/4" wide x 7 1/4 long...so it would not fit with these dimensions LOL Thank you!
I am going to try 10.5" wide first in order to have the 2" each sides...but I suppose I need larger than 12" paper for the length for this style LOL I will use 15.5" ?
Or... I just have to do the pointed style if I want to use 12x12 dsp lol
You are AWESOME!!!!!! THANK YOU
Yes that great Idea thank you.
That is great...it's better than using a board to make envelopes..I love makin envelopes to match my cards
Thank you so much 😃
👍🌷
Brilliant video. TFS. Sandra xx
Sandra Lynn Thanks!
So, what is in your hand?
Great video Thanks!! that helps
***** Thank you Karen!
Thank you
I love this tutorial. I will never buy store envelopes again x
I have watched so many different videos on envelopes, the process is "super easy", but I need to write down all the different dimensions so I don't have to look it up every time to get the right size
Wonderful 🌹
What's the size of your card, otherwise I can't use your example.
thank you for showing us how thumbs up thanks for sharing
Lynda Tidman Thanks for the thumbs up!
TFS. Some of the crafters have purchased those envelope boards and they are broken.
I traced an envelope on to some thin plastic to make a template.
can you make a exploding envelope please
