How to use an Envelope Punch Board

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I've had a few private messages asking if I would review and show how to use an envelope board. These boards have been around for a while and I don't think there's a need for me to review one.
As there's always newbies just coming into paper crafting however there may be the need for a How to video.
Hope this helps
Happy Crafting

    Completely agree with you about the colour contrast on the lighter coloured board. It is hard to read. Thanks for the envelope making demonstration - all your videos are very inspiring

    I love my envelope punch board. I find that the way to keep envelopes’ size consistent is to measure twice, once each on opposite sides of the paper, then use the score mark as a guide on the other two sides. I use my board to make envelopes and small gift boxes, and also a wonderful envelope album which so far I have used to keep and display my origami folds. When the score needs to go off the board, simply flip over the paper and make a score line at the top to match with the half score line you already have. I do this by using the measure and it almost always works.

    Great video, Ceri. I started using my envelope punch board two or three weeks ago. I had to really pay attention to what I was doing because my first envelopes came out wonky. Since reading the instructions I found that it's easy as can be and the envelopes make great additions to books. Again, great video!!

    There are plenty of ways to make an envelope without the board but if you’re someone who mass makes it helps keep uniformity of sizes.

    I like the WRMK punch board because of the rounded notch, but as I'm from the UK the size guide doesn't work for typical A7, A6 and A5 cards, or metric square cards, as they measurements are for American card sizes. But I managed to figure out the measurements for UK card sizes. I also found that some of the measurements were a bit too much of a snug fit, I like to have at least 1cm 'wiggle room' around the card especially if there's a dimensional embellishment.

    Hi, Ceri. My old light blue and white 1-2-3 Punch Board (that makes envelopes, bows, and boxes) flips open so you can read the size charts on the left side and then do scoring/punching on the right side. At the center bottom of the inside right side, a piece of plastic marked a Score Extender actually pivots out and clicks into place, extending the score lines so the user can make larger envelopes, bows, and boxes. I'm wondering if you have something similar under or inside your newer WRMK envelope maker? Check it out. Thanks for demoing this. Instructions for using my board are very poor. Even with the enclosed Instruction Book, I had to thoroughly examine every line and try to read the plastic to find necessary score areas, etc. I've wanted to experiment with my board for a while and it helped to do it along with you. TFS. From Cheryl in AZ, USA
