Envelope Punch Board Liner WOW! Video

Ready for an easy way to create a liner for envelopes produced with the Stampin’ Up! Envelope Punch Board? No complicated formulas. Zippo waste of your pretty paper. Interested? Watch my 1 Minute to WOW! video to learn how.

“The room’s a wreck but her napkin is folded.”  That line from the Miracle Worker (I’m of the “vintage” when Patty Duke played Helen not “teacher”) sums up how I felt after hours of trying to find an easy way to create a liner for envelopes produced with the Stampin’ Up! Envelope Punch Board.  Lots of card stock and designer series paper (all retired, thank goodness) was sacrified in the process.  The result:  A simple liner.  No complicated formulas.  Zippo waste of your pretty paper.  Interested in giving it a try?

The easiest way to share the “how to” of creating the liner is with my new 1 Minute to WOW! video (above).  The 5 x 5 card in the video is a sneak peek of my card for this Thursday’s Pals Paper Arts Challenge.

SIMPLE LINER STEP BY STEP

  • Cut a custom envelope using the Envelope Punch Board.  Punch top flap with the built-in corner rounder punch.
  • On the envelope, measure from the center of the rounded top corner to the center of the right punched curve.

  • Cut a square of Designer Series Paper (DSP) based on the measurement in #2.
  • Line up the DSP square on the Envelope Punch Board at 1/8″ less than the width of the square.  For example, if your liner square is 4″,  line up at 3 7/8″.  If it’s 4 1/4″, line up at 4 1/8″.
  • Punch then flip square over and punch opposite side at the same place.
  • Punch top with the built-in corner rounder punch and adhere.

JOT IT DOWN!  Using this method, the liner square size for an A2 card is 4 1/4″ and it’s 2 1/2″ for an envelope created for a 3 x 3 card.

This method should work for square envelopes and relatively square rectangles (like an A2 size, which is 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″).  Other more irregular shapes may not work.  I haven’t had a chance to experiment with all 66 sizes that the punch board makes.  Just to be safe, it’s best to “test drive” with a piece of scratch paper first.

  1. I’ve just received my envelope punch board and I’m trying to make the envelopes, although I do not see the size that I make most, which is 5 1/2 X 8 1/4, I love how it creates them & notches it as well. I’ve read that there are 66 different sizes. Where on earth are all these?

  7. Thank you for figuring this out. I am sure it would have been way over my head. This is very useful, and I really, really appreciate the time you spent. If it took you hours, it would have taken me days and may not even accomplished it.

    Thanks

  13. Hi R: The Envelope Liner Framelits coordinate with Stampin’ Up! pre-made envelopes (3 sizes). They have the same design, curves and all. Anything is possible but it may be a challenge to try and retro fit them to the punch board envelopes. I’m going to use the framelits for my Stampin’ Up! envelopes and use this new method for envelopes made with the Envelope Punch Board. Both quick and easy! Hugs, M

    Is there a way to make straight flaps instead of pointy so my Envelope Liner Thinlets will work? Guess I’ll need to try when I get my Envelope Punch 😉

  20. One Minute to WoW is the perfect phrase for this tutorial. I love the new envelope framelits but you do use a lot of dsp in the process. For a truly customized card this is an amazing tool. Thanks for making it so easy!

  21. Thank you for saving me hours trying to figure out the lining on my own. After all why create envelopes if you can’t add a personal touch with a liner. This is a big wow!

I think there will be many people happy….you are the “pick FISH of the day”
