Envelope Punch Board and Pocket Letters

I'm sure everyone has seen the new craze, Pocket Letter Pals.  I wondered if I could make little envelopes to fit into the 2.5 x 3.5 pockets with the Envelope Punch Board and finally I got the measurements down.

Here is a picture of my embellished envelope.  As you can see it fits perfectly.

Here are the measurements.

Paper 5x5 square

Punch at 2 1/8

I made mine using Stampin Up products I got from Sale-A-Bration

Designers Series paper Best Day Ever and Accessory Pack button and ribbon.

The heart is punched using the Sweetheart Punch and I stamped it using Calypso Coral ink and the stamp set Little Sunshine.  I made the banner using the banner punch and Coastal Cabana card stock.

Easter Basket's

Are you ready for Easter? 

 These little Easter Basket's made using the Envelope Punch Board make great treat holders. Mine hold 5 Hersey's eggs. You could use any chocolate candy you like.

Here's how I made them. You will need the following items.

6 x 6 square of card stock

envelope punch board

ribbon and buttons

small clothespin

eyelet for tag

scalloped circle punch

adhesive

paper grass and candies

Place the 6 x 6 card stock in the envelope punch board and make the first punch at 1 3/8" then score. The next punch is at 4" and score. Rotate the paper and line up the score line punch and score. Continue on all sides. Use corner rounder at the top of the envelope punch board on all corners

 This is the shape you should have.

The next step is to cut the card stock on the score lines along the longest tabs on each side. Cut up to the horizontal score line. Now punch your handle by lining up the two largest tabs. Crease all lines and your ready to assemble. Use adhesive (I used glue dots) on the inside corner of each side piece.

Your done!

Now just decorate.  I made a tag and stamped the cute chick and sentiment You Crack Me Up from the stamp set "For Peep's Sake". I used coordinating ribbon and buttons. The clothespins are stamped with eggs using a stamp included in the set.

If you would like to make these using the Stampin Up products I used I will list them below.  The ribbon and buttons were Free items with $50 purchase from the Sale-A- Bration catalog, Best Day Ever Accessory Pack. You can visit my website and order at

I am now on Pintrest and Facebook, too.

 Happy Crafting!!!

Envelope Punch Board Gift Card Tags

Do you like to give gift cards but feel they are not very personnel.  I have a solution, "Packaging".

Make the gift card special by putting it into a lovely envelope made using the Envelope Punch Board.

Here are two examples.

The finished envelope size is 2 1/2" x 3 1/2".

Cut cardstock 5 1/2" x 5 1/2".  Place into the envelope punch board at 2 3/8" for the first punch and score, rotate until score line is lined up with the pointer then punch and score.  Continue on remaining sides. Fold on score lines.  Leave top flap for tag. Round this corner and the two side corners. adhere with adhesive to make envelope.  Punch whole in tag top and thread ribbon or twine of your choice.  Now decorate any way you want. 

Here is a video showing how I made mine.
