Do you know of a good website on how to make quality envelopes?

Sauterelle 10/15/2009 #

I've been using the "Basic Envelope" template found here... Envelope Template

I'd be interested if anyone has others to share. =)

I've gone through a couple sets of templates from Green Sneakers website. They are well made, I simple use them everyday to the point they fell apart, lol. Envelopes are a great way to recycle many different types of paper into something useful & it's kinda become a compulsion with me....

i use a template that i bought from paper wishes. i love this craft. i love to use calenders. i am able to buy unused ones from the thrift store and the calender paper is usually very nice paper. love the different designs.

Lots and lots of envelope templates here.

is there a minimum size requirement? I prefer larger over mini's but just asking. I plan to make mine standard 4x6 / 5x7

Sauterelle 10/22/2009 #

Good question. Please try to keep them at a mailable letter size.

Min 3 1/2 x 6 1/8 inches
Max 5 x 11 1/2 inches

MissU 10/22/2009 #

I make mine out of 12x12 scrapbook paper. They come out about 6x9.

Sauterelle 10/23/2009 #

MissU I think that makes it a Large Envelope.

In the end it is still Senders Choice So nobody stress too hard about it. Swap requirements are:

4 Envelopes to each partner
Decorated in a Blue theme (or using a blue paper or image)
Mailed on time

... oh and Have Fun
