This is an amazing little tool makes perfect frames every time, can’t go wrong with this it’s a definite keeper

I have had this board for years and I was very frustrated at first, as well. It is OK as long as you make an envelope based on the fixed sized they provide, but most of us don't make standard size cards. I am one of them. My nightmare ended when l I came across this on line calculator and since then making envelopes have been nothing but a breeze and I am not even looking the measurements printed on the board.The on line calculator can be found here http://thecraftyowl.co.uk/EnvelopeExpert/You can change the dimensions from metric to imperial. Input the dimensions of the envelope (not card) you want to make and it calculates for you the paper size and where to punch. This website never let me down. I normally make my envelopes a 1/4 bigger than the card. For example If my card is 5 x 7, then I calculate my envelope size at 5 1/4 x 7 1/4 and these are the measurement I put on line. These are roughly the calculations I use as long as the height of the card is under 1/8, as the height also takes space inside of an envelope. Between 1/8 and 1/4 height you can always increase the size of your envelope by 1/2 inch. Based on the example above my envelop size would become 5 1/2 x 7 1/2.Here is a sample of one of my envelopes that I made using the on line calculator, which fits my card perfectly. https://www.scrapbook.com/myplace/index.php?mod=galleries&u=406749&m=view&id=5796659&type=-1&size=0If you are making layers and layers using the foam pads to raise the layers or thick embelies, then you could make a box envelope using this link http://thecraftyowl.co.uk/boxbuster/ and also input the height of your card.This is a sample where my envelope also has 1/4 height https://www.scrapbook.com/myplace/index.php?mod=galleries&u=406749&m=view&id=5830213&type=-1&size=0Hope this helps you in the future with your envelopes and to enjoy your envelope punch board.

Super cool crafting tool. Before I purchased this I watched several videos and tutorials just to make sure I wanted this. It has been phenomenal for making the perfect sized envelopes for my cards! It’s very easy to use and all the measurements are right there for you.

The media could not be loaded. I recently started creating journals and had to make an envelope journal. Well, I knew most crafters used an Envelope Punch Board for theirs, but I didn't have one and they were priced right out of my budget. So I downloaded an envelope template online and had to trace and cut it by hand for every page - obviously, each page was slightly different because I'm not a machine. I REALLY wanted a punch board so when I saw one here for around $8 - it was a "no brainer." I HAD to get it. I used it two times to practice and I'M ALREADY IN LOVE WITH IT. It makes making custom envelopes SO. MUCH. EASIER. and having them ALL uniform makes the end product SO professional looking. I only wished now, that I also had the 123 punch board. And what do you know??? After I had already received this - I see a seller on here selling BOTH bundled together for an EVEN BETTER PRICE than just this one alone. *sigh* Still - I can't complain. I love this thing. I love almost ALL WE R Memory Keepers products - one day I will not only own all the products I like, but hope to design my own products with them some day. Watch this space! Anyway - I think EVERY crafter should own a punch board - they are very versatile, save you lots of time, and make you look like a journal making pro!

After using this cutter it works well. It is a little less sturdy than what I would expect from Memory Keepers but there are no issues. I did not give 5 stars because the bone folder. It is much thinner than my other bone folders and kinda cheap so it can cut thru the paper if you press too hard on the score lines with the board. I do love the storage featur for it though because I am forever lossing my bone folder under piles of paper scraps while I work. The punch works fine. The ruler takes some getting use to but having the size chart right on the board is perfect for that. If you are looking for convenience this unit is amazing.

Fantastic, I didn't even know these things existed until recently but now I'm hooked! Works good. Board is a little small if you're making larger envelopes but I work around that by using a larger scoring board for the score lines that would go off the edge of this board (easier to do than to explain). I had to extrapolate the manufacturer's chart to get odd custom sizes I needed that weren't on the chart, a couple minutes trial-and-error with scrap paper, no problem. Can't believe I used to use Xacto knives to make envelopes, that was accurate but slow and tedious so I made as few as possible, but with this nice little Envelope Board I can fairly QUICKLY make a small batch of envelopes without dreading the process. About the awkward-looking pointy (rounded point) shape on the part of the envelope that you glue the flap over, I just trim that off with a rotary cutter prior to gluing up the envelope, looks nicer that way, although most people probably open envelopes from the side anyway so your recipients probably won't know the difference if they receive the envelope sealed... unless you're making envelopes to go with custom cards that you're selling or something, you probably wouldn't need to bother with trimming off that part. The punch part is okay so far, I've probably made over 100 envelopes in the relatively short time since I bought this, don't know how durable it'll be in the long run but if the price remains low I could always buy another one if necessary. Also I like the scoring tool (the green/blue plastic pointy thing) because its point is rounded enough it doesn't risk slicing the paper as much as some other brands I've tried.
