I don't have any of the WRMK punch boards so it was neat to see this in action. I love your video on making the slimline envelopes using a scoring board and scissors. Works great!
You, my dear, have inspired me to rustle out my boards for my slim lines! I’m totally in for the bust it out vids. Thanks
I absolutely love that! Thank you so much, and have fun!!!
I love what you did with the overlap. Fantastic as usual
You made me go and look for mine! I've got the 1, 2 , 3 board that has the extension arm. It is PRISTINE. Now if it will allow me to make Envelope boxes, I may very well keep it. Otherwise, I do believe it is going to get destashed when I go through my Scrapbox as I am going to MAJOR OVERHAUL IT. I used to teach and I have a TON of paper I'm NOT USING. I may do Zoom classes, will have to chew on that. You are now going to make me fiddly-fart with mine to actually see if it is a keeper or not. XOXOXO
We R Memory Keepers came out with a slimline envelope punch board. I purchased it on the last craft day on HSN. I also found a video where someone figured out how to make a gusseted slimline envelope. I use it all the time and love it!
yes! i got one also, the video on wrmk is super easy to follow . It makes the envelopes so perfectly!
I like the slimline punch board, too. I have slimline envelope dies, but the punch board is way faster
Oh Yay! I have that punch board. Good to know I can make slimline and mini slimline envelopes with it. I would have it open from the end. Thanks for the video!
Right? Policy envelope style is good and the mini is very cute! TYSM, have fun!
I had that one too. I saw where they had out a new one called 1-2-3 punch board which punches envelopes, boxes and bows. I like it much better. It has an arm extension which really helps with the slimline envelopes. I almost always use the instructions you gave us for the 2 slimline envelopes. But I have used this board for smaller slimline envelopes. Love that you did this video. Hugs
Thanks for the info, Beda!! I have seen that newer one, I didn’t buy it yet because like I show here… I never even used the first one! LOL! I hear it does a better job.
I think you have discovered what a lot of folks have known for a LONG, LONG time.....sometimes the math on these boards works and sometimes it doesn't! I'm still scratching my head and wondering how and why they made the board so short when they clearly have calculations for paper sizes that exceed the board size! Thanks for showing this!
You have the original punch board (grey) and I believe there was an issue with the measurement guide initially and that WRMK released a replaement (corrected) sticker for it. However, if you pick up the white version it may have correct measurements. Also, I believe there is an arm underneath for score marks going off the board. The 1-2-3 Board is actually a better tool, that combines Envelope, Bow, and Box boards together. I love your bust it out videos as a good reminder to use the old stuff.
I have the 123 envelope punch board. I use it every now and then. WRMK used to have an app for the envelope punch, which was a great tool for even more custom envelopes. You put the size envelope you want, and it would calculate the paper size and where to align measurement.
I gave up on mine, but thanks to you I will search for it and try again!
It's not great! LOL!! I did a deep dive now, and it looks like mine isn't even the first one with wrong measurements...it's just an ugly envelope it makes. LOL!!! TYSM!
@@VianneyCreates hmmm, maybe I won't search for it after all. I trust your judgement x
@@jelee5240 😁
You crack me up girl!!! I use my board all the time....LOVE IT! Never had any problems. Look forward to all your videos!
LOL! How have you been? Also, do you have the newer board or this ancient one?
I have had mine about 4 years. See, you can't keep that stuff forever! Don't be a collector.....like me!!! Oh wait....you already are!!! Lol We R does have a new board, came out a month or two ago, for slim line and minis, maybe you can handle that one! Lol
I just looked at my WRMK All in one tool, which I love, it does not list either slimline size for making envelopes. Lol. I did purchase the slimline board from HSN, it makes better envelopes 😀
Good to know
"I love a good gimmick" - I feel your pain!! I have the MK 1-2-3 Board (similar concept as this, but it makes envelopes, boxes & bows) and have a love/hate relationship with it. Whenever I make a batch of envelopes it takes a few envelopes practice before I get in the groove - literally and figuratively - and they start looking right (kinda like pancakes - the first couple don't usually turn out lol). I use paper that I don't like for those and fix problems with the first few. It does make a nice looking envelope but it takes a little practice and engineering like you were seeing when you played around. I have also torn edges on certain papers, but as you go on, you fine tune the pressure, etc. It's not a perfect tool, but once I go through the initial process each time to get an envelope I like, I prefer it to envelope dies. Good luck! 🙂
Interesting. I bought the board at the last craft day. It took a long time to come in but it finally did. I haven’t tried it yet. TYSM
I hope it works out for you, as it should be an updated one...I would assume. (:
you made me laugh out loud on the slim line envelope you did the second time! Thank you for doing it
Good morning, I have lots of the WRMK punch boards and love to use them. The one I don’t have and have always wanted is the pillow box. I use a score board, scissors, trimmer, or dies to finish off or decorate the bottom and/or top flaps. Make it work! The one I had trouble with is the all in one, one of the punches broke off the first use, ugh.
I have the worst time with them, some of that comes from my sense that it should do what it says without bringing out extra stuff to make it work. I actually have the pillow box board, too! Never been opened! Too funny!
I bought it thru your video just because you made this entertaining, 😂. I agree with you with the over flap, I’m going to see if I’m able to challenge this one also, we will see
Would love to see what you come up with
I purchased the punch board and I LOVE it to make all different sized envelopes. I just have to get my card stock weight down.
I have this punch board and have used it a lot for making envelopes. It's so handy for odd-shaped cards. I DO wish they'd made the base a tad bigger so your scoring tool didn't drop off the edge when using larger paper and maybe tear it. You kind of have to 'fudge' it a bit.
I use mine envelope maker quite often, but I have a an old WRMK I bought about 7 years ago from HSN and their a lever that extends for those larger envelopes for score line. For those slimline envelopes you do have to cut the flap and make shorter.
You see! LOL! Looks like I have one of the very first iterations...no good! TYSM!!
Hi! Thanks for the video. Using the machine, I make all my slimline envelopes as the policy ones because of the long overhang! Life’s too short to fight envelopes! 😂 Love the video🥰
It's so bad! LOL!! The policy style is much better, that's true. TYSM!!
I LOVE my envelope punch board. It's soo easy and works so well. tFS....That being said... i also really like the tutorial you gave on making slimline envelopes. That works great too! there's a swing out arm for longer paper underneath... at least there is on mine. i have the gray one and a white one....
We r memory keepers now has slimline boards. Thank you for the video
They sure do! I didn't jump for it as I hardly ever use the boards I already have (as you see here with this ancient one), but I hope it works well for folks!
I used a scoring tool this past weekend to make envelopes. I had to put card on it & use my own measurements by eye-balling it. I felt the struggle. Good video!
That's what I do, too.
Well, I just recently bought a WRMK punch board for slimline envelopes and guess what? I had the same issues with the board being a bit short when scoring the paper and the measurements being a bit off. What was more frustrating was that the directions were unclear. I had to flip the paper over after doing two sides to get the proper scoring and folding - I had to figure that one out by myself. WRMK needs to go back to the drawing board ( sorry for that one! ) Thanks for the video - I feel a bit better...
I had the same thing happen and wasted a bunch of paper - could NOT figure out what was wrong. Finally went back and watch their video and in that it said to flip the paper. I was glad it worked but still upset that I wasted all of that paper.
Oh goody! I'm glad I'm not the only one....I have such difficulty with mine. I also have soooooo many envelope tools, it's crazy. I want to use my hoard of papers to make envelopes. Why can't I wrap my head around this? 😫 I got straight A's in school for crying out loud..thanks for keeping it real 😁🙂😀
What's crazy is that I followed the numbers, I don't have an issue with that...it just makes an ugly slimline envelope. The mini slimmie was cutest hough...so it's good for that! LOL!!
@@VianneyCreates yes it is! Yay. However it seems like a lot of the numbers are wrong. Or I'm just stupid..
I use my envelope punchboard regularly and love it. I don’t like the excess that sticks up so always cut it off as you did. With the larger envelope you did I either do it like the one that worked for you or I cut from the corner to the tip so that it will be short enough. If my card has lots of embellishments, I put the card in to see where to tape or glue so that it will not be too snug.I just bought the slimline card and envelope punchboard. It makes mini and regular slime lines. I’ve made several cards and envelopes since getting it and love it too. They are my favorite punchboards. I think there is supposed to be somewhere at WeR that you can get measurements for odd sizes that aren’t listed. When my paper is too long for the punchboard, I score as far as possible and then use that score to fold so it goes to the end of the paper. Then I don’t tear the paper or have to guess where the line is for the next punch and score.
I tried calling customer service about this with no luck
Great video. I have the WRMK’s slimline punch board. I haven’t played with it yet. I didn’t think to look on my envelope punch board to make slim-lines! Nice review. TFS, stay blessed 😍🌸
I have the ancient one also, using it for mini slim lines and A1 cards.
Hi Vianney, I got mine years ago, only used it several times…. mine is probably covered in dust also! 🤣 Thanks for giving it another chance.
I would love for you to try on the old Crafters Companion envelopes maker. It was the 1st item I bought from them.
I have that exact same envelope punch board and like it. I used it with the Valentine Paper pad you had purchased from Michaels (so of course, I had to go get the paper pad). I used the Valentine paper to make the envelopes with AG dies to write the address. Grandkids seemed to like it a lot.
I had that board and experienced the same problem with some of the envelopes. Turns out the measurement chart was not correct for some of the envelopes. As a result I did not use the board and got rid of it. I later found out there was a problem with the chart and they corrected the chart and had it available on line. Since I already got rid of the board, I didn’t look into it. I ended up getting a new board a few years ago and it works fine.
I love my WRMK envelope board but mine is the updated one they has a extension arm for the scoring. It can make envelope boxes and boxes too . Looks just like your but with the extra score line for making the boxes and envelope boxes.
Yeah, this one is the oldest one (maybe second to oldest as the numbers are "correct." Just no swing arm.) I'll stick to making them my way or using the CC boards I have, those are pretty great once you get the hang of it. (:
I have the WRMK 1,2,3 combo punch board too. I just love 💕 your bust it out videos and you made me smile when you said the punch board was 7 years old 😆 oh my envelopes are always off just a little too. I use the updated sticker WRMK included with my board 🤔 I guess I'm picky 😂 I do really like the look where you cut off the 1st envelope, nice 🙂
I have the board with the swing arm and it works fine, but I haven't tried a slimline card. Sometime ago you had demoed the crafters companion envelope board and I use that all the time. It is very easy. I can't do slim line on it though. We need a slimline board.
I use my envelope punch board all the time. Once you get to the 3rd side, your envelope should match the first measurement that you made. So for yours, on side 3, your paper should have been at 3 1/8" again, not at 3 1/4". I usually use a regular scoreboard to continue the line if it is too long for the punch board. And I hate having that huge bottom portion of the envelope also, and I usually just cut it off.
I do know that (like when using the CC Enveloper, etc…), although the instructions pretty much said just to follow the score lines after you do the first measurement. I didn’t really do a 3 1/4 measurement other than when I went to mess around with it on my own later. I just mentioned that it was closer to the 3 1/4. Either way, it makes an ugly slimline envelope. Lol!! Thanks for your feedback on it, I’m glad you get good use from it!!
@@VianneyCreates Now there's a waste of my money. I could never get decent envelopes with CC's enveloper. If you have a tutorial on using that, I should probably go watch it. Haha! I don't use my punch board for slimline envelopes, but I do use them for A2 and odd sized cards all the time. I just bought the slimline punch board because I'm hoping it does "pretty" slimline envelopes. I have to give it a try though.
I have an older model with a swing out arm so you don’t score off the end of the paper but it has a slot but no little pointy guide to line the score line up with so you have to guess to score in exactly the right place. If all goes well it makes a nice A2 or 5 x7 or fatter size of card. I kind of figured it would have a long pointy flap on the slimline envies. TFS
Contact the company, I believe there was an error with the older envelope punch boards. they have a sticker with the new sizes, worth checking it out.
Maybe use an edge punch or like those edge scissors (scallop?) to cut down that long flap, the decoration would really make it custom? I don't think I've ever used my punch board, and now I have purchased the punch board for the slim line cards and envelopes...WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME? Lol. TFS! Oops, just saw that you did do that at end of video...
Too bad it didn’t work. I’ve had problems in the past using various WRMK boards and found the instructions were not clear. I wasted lots of my paper! Glad you made this video, now I know it’s not just me. In this case, do you think it might be easier to use your Cricut? With the popularity of slimline cards, I wonder if there is a die set.
The white envelope maker is better. It does bows .& box envelopes. It also has a pull out for scoring long envelopes
For sure! This one is one of the very first iterations...that's why there was no thought put into its creation! LOL! I feel like that's typical of WRMK gadgets. TY!
Did the instruction booklet advise on how to reduce the closing flap overlap? Also did it say that when using the 9 and 3/4 square paper that perhaps one had to use a scoreboard to extend the score lines? 🤔
So, neither of those things were outlined on the instruction sheet. However, apparently, I have the first (maybe 2nd) iteration of this contraption. It's quite possible the later iterations gave some of that info, the newest one has a swing arm...so that's way better already!
Box cutter knife!
This is good! Bust out them boards lol.
The last one i bought was the mini envelope one, when i finally opened to use it the punch button fell off 🤦🏻 do you know how i could fix it ?
Does anyone in chat know how to fix it. Thx in advance
Now I’m gonna have to make a slimline and see if mine works. I bet you have the defective one. 🤷♀️
That's what it sounds like!! LOL!! Typical!
Are you using the Old punch board that was re-called because the mesurements were wrong???
Probably! Like I said, it is really old!! Too funny! I will see what the newer board says on it, and see if I can still make it work. I did notice that the numbers were the same, though…when I went to get links. So that’s kind of weird, I wonder if the board itself is off?
Wouldn’t it have been easier to just cut the overhang off the flap and then use the corner rounder to round the corners? I have one of those somewhere.???? Lol
Hi!! I'm not sure what you mean by cut off the overhang...but if you mean cut it flush and then use the corner rounder...that won't work. Corner rounders only accept papers that are perfect right angles (90 degrees), and cutting off the extra part of the flap would leave two weird "corners." I hope that makes sense.
@@VianneyCreates Well, ain’t that funky now, lol! I always assumed I just needed a corner of any degree. That’s why you have a TH-cam channel and I don’t. Lol 😂
Aye!
Hello, does the scoreboard have an EXTENSION to elongate the score?
Unfortunately, this old one doesn't!!
@@VianneyCreates AWWWWW 😒
Go to this link to see how to get a more accurate envelope when your paper goes off then envelope maker board: th-cam.com/video/ASUawKRLZxE/w-d-xo.html. You still have to trim the ends for any type of slim line card.
That looks like a HOT MESS of a tool! That just didn’t make sense.
It's crazy...it's also one of the first ones they put out...people say they love the new one. However, the slimline envies are still "big flapped!" LOL!! Not great.
