I noticed the "tight fit" as I slid a card into the envelope, using the 8 1/8" X 8 1/8" measurement and 3 3/4" score line. I am going to increase the measurement to 8 1/4" square to see if that will allow an easier fit.

You’re so welcome, Janet! I just stared at it blankly for a while. Once you figure it out then it seems obvious! 😂💙💙💙

Im happy I could help! Thanks, great tip! Sometimes I make REALLY dimensional cards so the space is nice, but not for the cellophane bags. 💙💙💙

7 7/8 by 7 7/8 score 3 1/2 is perfect

I keep an empty 12x12 iris case in my car, just in case, but sometimes paper gets bent on the way home or because I hoard it for years. 😂

You are so very welcome!! It’s confusing. 💙

Isn’t it funny how we miss funny details sometimes!?! Your corner rounder might take less muscle. 😉TFW! 💙

I am so happy to help!! Sometimes my friends loan me stuff like this and ask for a tutorial. That’s why I made this video. 😂 TFW! 💙💙💙

Thanks for the kind words, Josephine! This punch board is sort of a gadget that I would skip unless you are in love with it. 😁 If you love gadgets then go for for it! I use my big scoreboard with angle piece for envelopes and it’s a multipurpose tool. Envelope making & help me choose paper kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f7GIrdihst61e30.html The directions that come with it are pretty tough. 💙💙💙

You are so welcome! I’m not sure it’s a must have, but I’m happy to share what I know. 😁💙

Thank you so much 🤗 I had to go see my nails- oh, yeah, I do love the blue tips!! My nails aren't looking that good today.🤣 Happy to help!💙💙💙

What if you mark favorite measurements with a metallic sharpie or paint? If there’s a certain thing you like to make. Hugs!! 💙💙💙

So glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting. 😊💙💙💙

So happy to help! 😀 Sometimes my friends ask for videos when they are stumped and this envelope board had a lot of us confused. 💙😂 Happy crafting!

The directions are easy if you read them, but I was like you. I kept wanting to measure! 😂

So happy I could help! Happy crafting! 😁

It’s a tricky device, for sure. Seems like the instructions are a bit unclear. TFW and have fun! 💙💙💙

You’re so welcome!! 😄💙💙💙

Thanks so much, Jennifer! My friend was stumped by this and needed some help. 😁💙

Welcome! Thanks for joining! I usually use my scoreboard, but I wanted to try out the punch board. 💙💙💙💙

You are very welcome! My friend asks me to make videos about things that don’t work for her. 😂💙

Welcome, Crystal! I hope you are having fun and making messes! 💙💙💙

So happy to help! I’m no expert, but some of the crafty tools do NOT come with clear instructions. 😂 TFW 💙💙💙

I did think it was super easy to use! I just don’t like to have stuff sitting around that isn’t multi use. I’m just too messy. 😂🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

You're so welcome, Melinda! Happy to help!! 💙💙💙

I'm so glad it was helpful!💙💙💙

Thanks for watching, Evelyn! It’s sort of a confusing contraption. 😁💙💙💙

Welcome!! Thanks for joining us! I’ll check out your channel. If it’s cooking it’s not for me. 😂🤣😂🤣💙💙💙💙

@@CraftingandRelaxing lol, well, I don't cook unless you count... roasting the Alberta Registries? lol!

Your comment cracked me up!! That’s totally how I felt at first too. 😂🤣😂 Happy to help! 💙💙💙

I hear yah girl, lol

Maybe for larger envelopes you could just start it out the lazy envelope making way? Start with oversized paper. Lay object on paper and folder larger paper around it to create the envelope? Then tidy up with corner rounder if you want? I did that in another one of my envelope videos. I like envelopes so I have an envelope playlist. 😀 If you do one then you can write down measurement and create your own. First time(s) will be hard, but then you can write down the tricks like paper size and score line areas?

It’s definitely not intuitive! 😂🤣😂 Happy to help! 💙💙💙

Same... all my envelopes were ending up square 😆

You can absolutely use that rounder on the board! I don’t know if I forgot or if the camera angle made it tricky. Sorry, I should have mentioned that envelope punch boards come with corner rounders built in. Many of us already have corner rounders that are a bit easier to use too.

A basic A2 (U.S.) size envelope starts with a square. It’s fairly common to start an envelope with a square, but create a rectangle. I hope that helps with your question. 😊

@@CraftingandRelaxing thank you ;)

Maybe you’re hurrying, paper is slipping when you punch or it wasn’t lined up quite right? Maybe it’s a new style? 😊💙💙💙

The papers start square, but the envelopes are a variety of sizes at the end, not all squares. 💙 Thanks for watching and commenting.

I want to help, but I'm not sure I understand your question. I don't have the punch board any more so I can't look at it. Are you saying it doesn't make an envelope the actual size of the card as stated? Did it come out sort of big and sloppy? TFW & commenting! 💙💙💙

It's a specific envelope size. It isn't one that I have ever made: 6 BAR Envelope (4 3/4 x 6 1/2). I don't think I would use that one.😁 Thanks for watching and commenting.💙💙💙

Mine was all in inches, but maybe there are different versions, depending on where sold? Sure would have been easier if we all used one system. 😂😁💙

Yes, sorry, I forget to say I’m in US. ☺️

Thanks for your answer! Will learn some inches then, because I just bought the same board 😆🤗

I definitely don’t consider the envelope punch board a necessary tool. Remember, I don’t have one. 😂 Take a look at this playlist. There are a couple of scoreboard envelope videos. Be sure to let me know if you have questions after. kzfaq.info/sun/PLTRdeR3SRJMRzWOUHH-TKuhMA0pAbv0SK
