    You made me go and look for mine! I've got the 1, 2 , 3 board that has the extension arm. It is PRISTINE. Now if it will allow me to make Envelope boxes, I may very well keep it. Otherwise, I do believe it is going to get destashed when I go through my Scrapbox as I am going to MAJOR OVERHAUL IT. I used to teach and I have a TON of paper I'm NOT USING. I may do Zoom classes, will have to chew on that. You are now going to make me fiddly-fart with mine to actually see if it is a keeper or not. XOXOXO

    You have the original punch board (grey) and I believe there was an issue with the measurement guide initially and that WRMK released a replaement (corrected) sticker for it. However, if you pick up the white version it may have correct measurements. Also, I believe there is an arm underneath for score marks going off the board. The 1-2-3 Board is actually a better tool, that combines Envelope, Bow, and Box boards together. I love your bust it out videos as a good reminder to use the old stuff.

  • @Bedalouwho

    I had that one too. I saw where they had out a new one called 1-2-3 punch board which punches envelopes, boxes and bows. I like it much better. It has an arm extension which really helps with the slimline envelopes. I almost always use the instructions you gave us for the 2 slimline envelopes. But I have used this board for smaller slimline envelopes. Love that you did this video. Hugs

    "I love a good gimmick" - I feel your pain!! I have the MK 1-2-3 Board (similar concept as this, but it makes envelopes, boxes & bows) and have a love/hate relationship with it. Whenever I make a batch of envelopes it takes a few envelopes practice before I get in the groove - literally and figuratively - and they start looking right (kinda like pancakes - the first couple don't usually turn out lol). I use paper that I don't like for those and fix problems with the first few. It does make a nice looking envelope but it takes a little practice and engineering like you were seeing when you played around. I have also torn edges on certain papers, but as you go on, you fine tune the pressure, etc. It's not a perfect tool, but once I go through the initial process each time to get an envelope I like, I prefer it to envelope dies. Good luck! 🙂

    I have the 123 envelope punch board. I use it every now and then. WRMK used to have an app for the envelope punch, which was a great tool for even more custom envelopes. You put the size envelope you want, and it would calculate the paper size and where to align measurement.

    I have this punch board and have used it a lot for making envelopes. It's so handy for odd-shaped cards. I DO wish they'd made the base a tad bigger so your scoring tool didn't drop off the edge when using larger paper and maybe tear it. You kind of have to 'fudge' it a bit.

  • @margueritepeaden3445
    @margueritepeaden3445 2 роки тому +1

    I use my envelope punchboard regularly and love it. I don’t like the excess that sticks up so always cut it off as you did. With the larger envelope you did I either do it like the one that worked for you or I cut from the corner to the tip so that it will be short enough. If my card has lots of embellishments, I put the card in to see where to tape or glue so that it will not be too snug.I just bought the slimline card and envelope punchboard. It makes mini and regular slime lines. I’ve made several cards and envelopes since getting it and love it too. They are my favorite punchboards. I think there is supposed to be somewhere at WeR that you can get measurements for odd sizes that aren’t listed. When my paper is too long for the punchboard, I score as far as possible and then use that score to fold so it goes to the end of the paper. Then I don’t tear the paper or have to guess where the line is for the next punch and score.

    I have an older model with a swing out arm so you don’t score off the end of the paper but it has a slot but no little pointy guide to line the score line up with so you have to guess to score in exactly the right place. If all goes well it makes a nice A2 or 5 x7 or fatter size of card. I kind of figured it would have a long pointy flap on the slimline envies. TFS

I use a score board, scissors, trimmer, or dies to finish off or decorate the bottom and/or top flaps. Make it work! The one I had trouble with is the all in one, one of the punches broke off the first use, ugh.

  • @dlinton4870
    @dlinton4870 2 роки тому +3

    I use my envelope punch board all the time. Once you get to the 3rd side, your envelope should match the first measurement that you made. So for yours, on side 3, your paper should have been at 3 1/8" again, not at 3 1/4". I usually use a regular scoreboard to continue the line if it is too long for the punch board. And I hate having that huge bottom portion of the envelope also, and I usually just cut it off.

    • @VianneyCreates
      @VianneyCreates  2 роки тому

      I do know that (like when using the CC Enveloper, etc…), although the instructions pretty much said just to follow the score lines after you do the first measurement. I didn’t really do a 3 1/4 measurement other than when I went to mess around with it on my own later. I just mentioned that it was closer to the 3 1/4. Either way, it makes an ugly slimline envelope. Lol!! Thanks for your feedback on it, I’m glad you get good use from it!!

I don't use my punch board for slimline envelopes, but I do use them for A2 and odd sized cards all the time. I just bought the slimline punch board because I'm hoping it does "pretty" slimline envelopes. I have to give it a try though.

  • @lindalopez3916

    I had that board and experienced the same problem with some of the envelopes. Turns out the measurement chart was not correct for some of the envelopes. As a result I did not use the board and got rid of it. I later found out there was a problem with the chart and they corrected the chart and had it available on line. Since I already got rid of the board, I didn’t look into it. I ended up getting a new board a few years ago and it works fine.

    Well, I just recently bought a WRMK punch board for slimline envelopes and guess what? I had the same issues with the board being a bit short when scoring the paper and the measurements being a bit off. What was more frustrating was that the directions were unclear. I had to flip the paper over after doing two sides to get the proper scoring and folding - I had to figure that one out by myself. WRMK needs to go back to the drawing board ( sorry for that one! ) Thanks for the video - I feel a bit better...
