And in the spirit of today’s gift envelope tutorial – I create a A1-sized card set envelope (instructions below):
Now for the tutorial.
- Start with 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of cardstock.
- Along the 8 1/2″ edge, score at .75″ , 1.25″, 7.25″ and 7.75″
- Along the 11″ edge score at 2″ , 2.5″ 7″ and 7.5″
- Cut along pink edges. Turquoise shaded areas represent pieces of cardstock that you will cut off completely.
- Assemble as shown below…
**Updated: I corrected the measurements for this template! I am so sorry about the incorrect measurement! Everything should be correct now and I hope you’ll forgive my slip up!**
Adhere the small notches to the inside of the envelope. - Start with 8 1/4″ x 9 1/4″ sheet of cardstock.
- Along the 8 1/4″ edge, score at 1″ , 1.5″, 6.75″ and 7.25″
- Along the 9 1/4″” edge score at 1.5″ , 2″ , 6″ and 6.5″
- Cut along pink edges. Turquoise shaded areas represent pieces of cardstock that you will cut off completely.
- Assemble.
TIPS:
- To create the twine closure for the envelope, punch two .75″ circles from cardstock and attach using a grommet.
- You can also use buttons for the twine closure. When sewing the buttons into place, place an extra piece of cardstock or felt on the back of the cardstock to help stabilze the button and the stitching.
OK! That is it for today! I hope you’ve enjoyed some or all of this post! If you have any questions – leave a comment or send me an email and I’ll make sure you answer you!

Hi Amber… Thank you so much. I love these and will be making some sets to give away. Quick question on the A2 measurements… I think the first score on the 8 1/2″ edge be .75″ rather than .25″, right?

Another fantastic project, tutorial and blog post. Your blog is stellar.
I have a question about the box. It is a great idea and so easy to make. The A2 cards fit perfectly. However…A2 envelopes won’t fit inside.
Suggestions?

Hi i am kavin, its my first occasion to commenting anywhere, when i read this paragraph i thought i could also create comment due to this brilliant piece of writing.
Hi Amber
I love the note cards and holder. Can you clarify if the pink holder is the same card stock weight? And since I’m new to card making can you clarify why the weight of the card stock needs to be 110 or 130 lb.?
Thanks
