Does anyone have a one piece A2 envelope die that they love or would recommend? I know it would be a bigger die and I have a machine that will fit larger dies, I would just like to be able to make my own envelopes without having to score myself. I see the ones that require me to glue pieces together but I'd rather just have a one step option. Thanks in advance

Thestampsoflife.com has a one piece A2 die. It’s currently out of stock but says more are coming. Found this one too. link |

For the cost of the die, I just score mine. I start w/ 8x8 paper. I use a Scor Pal board I have marked w/sharpies of many colors. I make all my own envies.
You will still have to glue or tape at least 4 tabs on any type envie you make. A die has only 1 purpose, a score board many uses.

I got the WRMK 1-2-3 punch board with a coupon awhile back. I *love* that thing. I wanted to make envelopes for nonstandard size cards, and it is SO easy. All the measurements are listed right on the tool itself. I used to laugh at all the one-trick-pony punch boards by WRMK, but this one has been super useful to me. I've been using up tons of single-sided pp, making envelopes with the colored side inside to match my card and white outside for ease of mailing! |

I make all my envelopes too don and it s so fun to make them with pretty paper! (BTW...I sent you a PM)  I have had my WRMK envelope makers (the regular and mini) for years and LOVE them! |

You all are much better people than I am! It’s all I can do to make the card. Having to make the envelope would push me over the edge!

hmp I used to feel the same way! And honestly, if I'm making A2 or 5x7 cards, I mostly use premade envelopes that I buy at Staples. But for those odd-sized cards or the special ones that call for a "bespoke" envelope, the WRMK board has been amazing.

I love mine, too, since I can make a wide variety of envelope sizes with it to match whatever card size or shape I want to make, although sometimes dies are nice and quick. |
