How to make Graphic 45-style Policy Envelopes yourself

Рет қаралды 7,410

Shortly after I created my "By The Sea Tag Chunky Tag and Envelope Album Tutorial" in my Etsy shop using Graphic 45's policy envelopes, the envelopes were discontinued. No worries my friends! You can easily make your own. I share how to re-create the regular-sized policy envelopes in this short video along with some alternate ideas for the vintage label on the front.
You can find that tutorial in my Etsy shop and use any papers you have. As you'll see in the video, I made one with By The Sea and another with A Proper Gentleman.

I was a fan of the original ones that were long with a spiral binding. When they discontinued those, I made my own, too! Great ideas for recreating that center detail, Annette!

Thank you for sharing this. I was so disappointed they were discontinued. I hoarded them when I found out and now hate to use them. But will make my own going forward. 😉

Me too! They're so great. I'm glad you are willing to make your own. Some day off in the future there will be hoards of those G45 policy envelopes. They'll become a vintage collectible! LOL.

Just found your channel and love this video on how to make your own. As much as I like having ready made supplies (which I don't always have on hand) I get tired of having to order online, paying postage and then waiting for delivery. Thank you for this video. I have subscribed and will be going back and doing a bit of binge watching. Pamela A / PA

Thanks Pamela! I'm glad you found me and enjoyed this video, and hopefully more. There's a more rewarding feeling, I believe, in making your own things over buying ready made. Sometimes we're in a hurry, and that's when it's definitely better. Thanks again for watching.

Yep, weren't we all? So now we can make our own, and it's way more fun to customize them now than to simply purchase them.

Great tutorial, thank you for sharing! Do you think you could review how to use a crop-a-dile? Many of us have not used one before and it would be nice to learn. Thanks for considering.

Thanks Sue! I'll keep that in mind for a future video. In the meanwhile, you can check out We R Memory Keepers KZfaq channel for this great overview on how to use the Crop-a-dile: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gN9xhNd627aZlGQ.html

Hi Janey, sorry for my delayed response. The finished size is 4 3/4" wide by 6 1/2" tall.

How do I attach this to a album? I am using hinges with tape. It would take room out of the envelope???

@AnnetteGreen 10 ай бұрын

When I did mine, I sliced 1/16th off the side of the envelope (or you could do the bottom) and then slid it onto a hinged binding, then you can reseal that part closed with a bit of glue or thin double-sided tape.

Ohhhh, never thought of that! You are so smart!

Bonjour, j'aime beaucoup votre tutoriel pour ces supers enveloppes, mais dommage que vous ne donniez pas les mesures également en centimètres.

@AnnetteGreen 3 жыл бұрын

I quickly went to my friend Google (which you can do as well) and converted the measures to centimeters. 9 1/4" = 23.495 cm, 10" = 25.4 cm, 2 5/8" = 6.6675 cm, 3/4" = 1.905 cm, 2" = 5.08 cm
