I know this is an older video, but I just wanted to say thanks! Searches how to diy envelopes and your video was exactly what I needed. Super simple, straightforward, and clear instructions.
Amazingly simple way to create homemade envelopes without any fancy tools! I searched YT for DIY envelopes and I found your video... now I'm a follower! Thank you so much for this and all of your other easy to follow videos!❤
I've made envelopes like this for odd sized cards for years, just cutting a square of paper out but knowing about the diagonal measurements is much easier. I've got an envelope maker, but find this way much simpler. I've shown other card makers and they thought it was a brilliant idea too. 😁
I agree, so much simpler! But I can still justify that I once bought my envelope maker, I still can use it to cut out those triangles and rounding the corners ;)
Well I'm sure there are quite a few crafters singing your praises today Sam. It's good to know how to make envelopes the way we made them before we were lucky enough to get our envelope punch boards. Just goes to show, we can survive without all the new devices. (though we all would love everything, it's not always possible) Having alternatives to do the original way😂 which you always cater for, is a great bonus. A great tutorial, for those who are just venturing out on the crafting scene and haven't many supplies yet. X
Thank you so much....i dont have a measuring board as i am not a professional...watching the diagonal measurement made my task easier... Now i can help my daughter in making the envelope...❤
Dear Sam- Your tutorial was so helpful! I must have wasted five sheets of perfectly good paper- and then Viola! Your instructions were magic. Thank you ever so much! Blessings.
Great tutorial! Needed to make an envelope and this simple method was the best I found, given what I had in the house. No double-sided tape was available, so I just used regular tape in the *inside* of the flaps but short enough to not be seen when the envelope was opened, if the flap was lifted to open it. I used a regular glue stick that a child uses to seal the entire thing. Looks pretty instead of a plain white envelope. Thanks for this!
Wow, flash from the past! Brings me back 40 years ago when I started as a teen playing around with paper. So glad punch boards and the scan n cut exist. I can't deal with handmade that looks handmade, neither can the Brides that order wedding invitations. Lol
Hi Sam, Thank u so much for taking the time to share how u make your Envelopes I would have never of thought of doing them like that such a brilliant way thank you Sam, ❤️👍🌸🤗. I am going to look through your crafty tutorials & see how u make your box envelopes Stay Safe Stay Well Lin x
very useful tutorial !! you have lovely papers !! thanks ! not every one has the punch board ,must be very few craters ,who have time to make and sell cards too !!
I’ve got a score board for making cards but it is very limited to sizing so I’m over the moon to have just discovered your channel and your super easy to follow instructions …must go now to make some ‘odd sized’ envelopes 😀 Thank you very much x
Sam, I’ve made a dozen envelopes using your technique! I can’t believe how much easier they were to make rather than using the envelope maker and successful! Thank you so much for sharing your directions!
This is so great. I have watched LOTS of envelope making tutorials and even have a envelope making board, always have trouble for some reason. I think this way just solved the problem as you are measuring form the corners, seems to make a huge difference. I am so glad I came across this video. Thank you for your time in putting up such great videos for all to learn by. Have a great Day:)
Thanks, Sam. I've just been struggling to make a custom envelope without success and wasting some rather nice paper! I wish I'd found your video before I started - that diagonal measurement plus the inch is the clincher! Great video.
Great "meeting" you here Sam!!! Guess who's (?Me?) punch board went missing?!? Now you know the state of my crafting space :/ Your tutorial here was just the ticket! Thanks so much and I'm a newbie on your social media :)
Sam to the rescue again. Just made a card that was too big for my memory keeper envelope maker and thought oh no.. Found this video and have now made an envelope to fit. Thanks as always Sam x
THANK YOU ❤I paint watercolor cards of different sizes. This video has helped tremendously in creating an env. that fits the odd piece of wateecolor art. 😊❤
Hi Sam fab video. Been using this method for almost 2 years now dont always cut away triangles it doesnt really matter can use ANY size/shape of card just add one inch from corner to corner to card size . I also use brown wrapping paper and ordinary wrapping paper. So much lovely wrapping around christmas time for making christmas envelopes!! Xxx
Nicely done! 👍🏻👍🏻 You are a pro in this. It actually help me to find me my real size envelop. Thank you making this video and all the best for you next video.
This is an amazing video! I’ve been trying to make envelopes on my envelope making board and have had more errors and trashed envelopes! I’m going to give your technique a go for sure!!
Well, if this isn't the most straightforward envelope tutorial, I don't know what is. Thank you, Sam! 😊
