One of the products that I demoed on HSN for We R Memory Keepers was the Envelope Punch Board. (If you click on this link, there's a video of me demo-ing the product on air.)
As I said on HSN, when I got the Envelope Punch Board I was skeptical. I make envelopes all the time. I have a Scor It that I use to create my fold lines. I have scissors. I have a ruler. I know how to do this. Then I started using that thing and…wow! I could not stop making envelopes!!
I made envelopes with double sided paper:
I made envelopes out of cardstock and inserted a patterned paper liner:
I made envelopes out of vellum:
I made envelopes out of catalog pages, perfect for giving a gift card from that store!
The real kicker, though, was this tutorial video from Jennifer McGuire…
…where she demonstrates how to use the Envelope Punch Board to create an envelope box. That got my brain whirring and I decided to try to make a slightly dimensional envelope to house all of those dimensional cards that I like to create. It worked out perfectly!
I'm happy to say that it's an awesome tool I never would have looked at twice, but now I'm hooked! I'm very glad to add it to my crafty tool arsenal. I'm sure it will get a lot of use.
Thanks for stopping by!

Never thought of using catalogs for envelopes. Great idea. I purchased that on HSN a while back, and I am sad to say that it is still in my cabinet. I have not played with it at all. Time to open that cabinet door, get it out, and create!
Thsnks for inspiring me.

I have three different punch boards now. Just got the flower one. These boards are so much fun. Now I am going to be making gifts sets of cards for people. You rocked it on HSN by the way.

I love it!!! I have a daughter stationed in Bahrain and I am alway looking for ways to jazz up the mail to make it more personal. I have lots of old gas station maps and card stock that I could use up with this. Thanks for including the video. Violet

You can also use this board to make file folders with or tab shapes on your pages and so on. There are few YouTube videos around on that, one at least by Kathy Orta, I believe. I made some little mini file folders from 6×6 papers for my daughter and her friends – they just loved them. So cute!

I discovered this amazing tool late last year. I was making my own notecards and needed a way to create envelopes to go with them. Now I use the tool for all kinds (and sizes) of envelopes. It’s incredibly easy to use, practically goof-proof.
I have some old atlases and the oversize pages make great envelopes for larger cards. I make my own circular seals using a paper punch and paper tea bag pouches (the ones that are shiny inside).

I thought the tool was kinda overkill when I first saw it, too, but once I tried it, I had to have it!! It is awesome!! Love the idea of using catalog pages from the store to match the gift cards. Jennifer’s tutorial on making envelope boxes is genius! Thank you so much!

I, too, am one of those people that poo poohed this tool when it came out. Was given one as a gift and rather reluctantly tried it. That was it! I made envelopes in every size my first time using it. I’ve now given at least 4 of them as gifts for my craft upcycling/recycling friends. I was thrilled to see you demonstrating it on HSN and giving it your thumbs up!
You do a fabulous job presenting on HSN! I hope you continue on with both Brother and WRMK and we are able to watch as you expertly demonstrate all of the wonderful goodies!
Thanks, Julie!!!

Fabulous idea. Never thought to make the envelope bulky. So many of my cards have lots of dimension. Love to layer stuff. You were great on HSN. Also love Scrapbook Soup. Can’t wait for next season. You are so inspiring. You go girl!

I have one of these. The trouble is, I can only seem to make square envelopes from it. Can anybody help me and tell me what I am doing wrong? I am using the guidelines printed on the board itself. Even my hubby took a look at it and said all the measurements would result in a square envie.
I find assembling things very confusing. Thanks, ladies!

Hi Julie,
Thanks for the envelope inspiration. Q: – what cutter do you use to cut your paper down to size ? I have a problem cutting paper to be exactly square etc! So I would guess that I would have a problem making some of the envelopes. Thanks!
