    You will be able to make all kind of envelopes customized to any paper, size and proportion with this simple trick, no need to buy fancy punches if you already have an scoring board. You will also need a ruler, scissors and a set square that you can buy in any stationery shop. It took me several hours to figure out how to accomplish this, but thanks to this video by Stamping Style ( • Custom Envelope ) I found the clue to calculate the envelope paper size and then everything was much less complicated to figure out how to make using the set square.
    In this video I show how this method can be used for any size and proportion envelope (A5 cards may be the biggest) by making 4 different envelopes so you get the trick, because at the beginning it may seem complicated but it is not, and I assure you it is easy and practical!!!

    FINALLY! I've been searching for an easier way to customize my envelopes. The standard templates were either too big, too small, not squared enough or not rectangle. Thanks for making this video.

      I appreciate your comment because I know many people may be looking for this instead of buying those machines and punches, there are so many different ones trying to convince people they need them to make envelopes the easy way... it is a pity people don't see this method, it alouds to make any size and proportion envelope, they would save money and space ... would you help me and share it? It took me quite a lot of time to figure this method out!

      Thank you for appreciating it, many people say it is too difficult but it isn't, it is just difficult to explain, but very simple to make and extremely helpful. I am sad many people don't get it, to explain it in English is difficult for me because I am Spanish, so I am glad you understood it!

      Excellent because English is not my mother language! As a matter of fact I confess you that I have been accused of not explaining it well enough in the Spanish version of this video (and that is my mother language)... I guess it is because it takes some attention to understand and some people get easily bored! Thank you for appreciating this method, I am so happy to have thought it for hours till I got the trick!

    This is amazing and it really works, no matter what size envelope you need to make! I did have to go through it twice and take some notes but now that I have proved to myself that it works and done it a couple of times, it is not difficult. Thank you so much!!!

    • @Fancylooks
      @Fancylooks  10 років тому

      You cannot imagine how happy reading your words have just made me!!!
      I have invested quite a lot of time in finding out this "how to", I knew there had to be a way to make custom envelopes without the need to follow special measurements charts and using expensive rulers or gadgets, and I spent hours trying finding out how. I was so happy when I was able to figure it out thanks to the spark that lightened my brain after watching this gentleman's video (Stamping Style channel). Then I had to adapt it to a simpler way of doing it, (as he uses an special diagonal scoring board) without special envelope triangular or diagonal rules, just with the scoring board and basic cheap rulers.
      I was very happy to share the idea as I thought many people would be interested in it... but, as you see, not many people have seen the video which I uploaded more than two months ago. So your comment makes me so happy because now I know at least you have took my advice and tried, taken your time to try it and taken advantage of this technique. Thank you very, very much indeed for commenting! Please, feel free to share in Facebook or twitter or to your crafting-scrapbooking friends, I would love to spread this technique!

      +Meli mel : This is such great news knowing you can take advantage of it. People are getting crazy buying expensive gadgets to make envelopes and take so many complicated measurements out of long measurements charts...it is not necessary!, I think the scoring board has it all, you only have to learn to take the most advantage of it and it is such a versatile and great tool. I knew I was going to be able to find out how to make envelopes with it and I did, I am very glad I did and extremely happy to help you and inspire you! Please, share this video if you know people that may be interested in this technique!

    WOW! What a great video! Thanks so much for this information. You must have quite an analytical mind. Most envelope videosare too basic and only make a specific size. I'm amazed by your method because now I can make an envelope for any type or size of card, letter, or flyer. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to share with all of us.

      Thank you so much for appreciating the method, it took long to find out, the video I link was a great help but it uses special tools and I wanted to make it with more basic tools... the best thing about this method is that you only need to take one measurement, and then is all automatic... hope you share it! I am very sorry some people think it is complicated but it is not at all once you understand it

    I have been working on measuring envelopes for different size cards all day and then decided to check you tube once again and I found your video. Yipee! You have taken the guess work out of making envelopes. I have a question. If you make an envelope for a thick card do we just add 1/2" on to the measurements or whatever size thickness you need???

    • @Fancylooks
      @Fancylooks  8 років тому

      I have a video on that, but is in Spanish and I don't have an English version, you may have a look if you are interested even if you cannot understand what I say because, at least ,you can see it ua-cam.com/video/PPDOMdy-N_M/v-deo.html. What I do is I take the measurement of the card using the set square ruler as I show in the video above (what I explain on moment 01:34) and to that measurement I add 3/4 of an ich (like I explain in this video as well) and, in addition, I also add the size of the thickness I need the envelope to have but doubled, let's say I want it to be 1/2" thick then I will add 1 inch. Then I will cut the paper for the envelope as a square paper that has each side measuring the total sum of those three measurements. I will mark the folds as I show in this video. Once I marked those four folds I will mark a second fold on each side 1/2" parallel to the first marks , away from the center of the paper, not towards it and then I will cut the sides as I explain in the video I just gave you the link to. I know it is not easy to understand it with this written explanations, but I hope it helps you in some way. Happy envelope making!

    • @Fancylooks
      @Fancylooks  6 років тому

      Placez le carré contre le bord (voir comment le faire dans la vidéo, minute 1:57), placez l'enveloppe contre le carré et faites-le glisser jusqu'à ce que l'extrémité supérieure de l'enveloppe touche le bord du tableau d'affichage. Mesurez la distance entre le bord de la planche et l'extrémité inférieure de l'enveloppe. N'inclinez pas la règle de mesure qui est perpendiculaire au bord de la planche. Comme vous le donnez vous ajoutez 3/4 de pouce de plus. Le résultat de la somme sera la mesure du côté du carré de papier que vous devrez couper pour faire l'enveloppe de la carte. (Traduction faite avec Google Translator)
      Original explanation: Coloca la escuadra contra el borde (mira cómo hacerlo en el video, minuto 1:57), coloca el sobre contra la escuadra y deslízalo hasta que la punta superior del sobre toca el borde del tablero de hendidos. Mide la distancia del borde del tablero a la punta inferior del sobre. No inclines la regla de medir, que quede perpendicular al borde del tablero. A la medida que te dé le sumas 3/4 de pulgada más. El resultado de la suma será la medida del lado del cuadrado de papel que tendrás que cortar para hacer el sobre para la tarjeta.

      Yes, that is exactly what happens, when someone sees my explanations it is easier to think "I don't understand" and not to bother to concentrate and understand... then you miss how easy it is. This method is far better than any especial board, you don't have to look at chart for the sizes, you don't need to take into account several different measurements... Just one does the trick!
