Thanks Janet! I’m glad that you’re able to get use out of it. The more card makers we can create, the better!

Good question Lauren! I put that information in the full envelope post, but didn’t think to repeat it here in the shortened version. Doh! I’ve used scrapbook paper, craft paper, and cardstock, depending on the look I’m going for. I actually really like scrapbook paper because you can get paper that’s pretty plain on one side and then decorated on the other. Then you put the decorated side on the inside and have a pop of flair when they open the envelope up! You could also use colored printer paper if you wanted to as well. The only thing is that you want to think about the durability of the paper and the tape that you’re using and how you are transporting your cards. You might want something thicker than printer paper if it’s going through the mail.

This is epically awesome. Thank you for doing all the hard work for us, Kristy! I’ve been wanting to learn how to make my own envelopes…and now, I have no excuse not to! Any recommendation on paper that we should use for the job? I’m guessing something thicker than scrapbook paper but not as thick as cardstock would be good?
