If you own the envelope punch board, how often do you find yourself using it?
I'm contemplating getting it with a coupon at HL but not sure if I want to commit the space for it.
My biggest concern is finding paper in the right weight for an envelope. I have a few sheets still remaining from "back in the day" when all I could find was the thinner 8.5x11 and have on occasion used them to make an A6 using my Cameo but mostly I need A2 of which I always have plenty on hand.
Curious if anyone has had second thoughts about purchasing it...

I bought it and really like it! I also have the MS scoreboard and really didn't need to buy the WRMK envelope board but I am glad I did and have no regrets and much easier to use IMO. I used a coupon at M's and got it for around $9, totally worth it!

I thought the same thing - but I use it all the time. I actually don't have any envelopes on hand right now and I've got a ton of b-day cards I need to get out. So I have been using that and the white paper M's sells.

I use mine a lot too. Especially when I need a gift hard holder I grab my board.

I agree. It's worth getting. I don't use it all the time, but it does come in handy when you need an envelope that isn't readily available.

LOVE mine and use it all the time. It is so easy to make the right size envelope for handmade cards. I make shaped cards with some of my dies and it is nice to not worry about finding and envelope that will work. Thanks for these links. |

Wow! You all have convinced me this is something I really "need". I hadn't really given it a second look before now because I have the MS scoreboard & can make an envelope with it any time if I want to go through the hassle. It just always seemed easier to use a pre-made one. But, I had no idea about all the neat other projects you could make with it.
Thanks!

Have one and love it! Used it to make little favor envelopes to hold necklaces I made for my sister's bridal shower. If you can get it with a coupon, I say go for it!!

Okay you ladies talked me into it!
I stopped by HL yesterday on my way home from work and was able to get 40% off the punch board since their punches are on sale, plus I picked up a couple of their smooth cardstock packs (which I know are thinner paper) for $2 each since they were half off. Not too bad of an investment.
Looking forward to making some of the smaller 4-Bar card size now.

I haven't made anything except for envelopes with it, and I love how easy it is. I also just use the cardstock packs from Michael's. It's much thinner than say Bazzill, but in this case, that's a big plus because it makes a sturdy envelope. If you don't have it already, I say get one.

It's a great way to use up older patterned paper.....part for the card the rest for a matching envelope......helps me justify my paper addiction!!  |

I bought one several months ago, organised a box with stamps and other bits and pieces I thought I would use for cardmaking and haven't opened it again! Thanks for the reminder. I must get it out and at least make some envelopes.

You convinced me too! My mom and sister both have this, and I've been resisting. But remembering my odd shaped cards I never use...time to get one with a coupon!

I love mine. And after seeing so many things you could use it for besides envelopes, I use it even more. Bows, tabs, boxes, so much fun. I made tabbed dividers for all my PL cards. I sorted by brand, collection and all the cut-a-part pages. So much easier to find and so quick to make the dividers! You will be happy with it and at 40% off, it is a wise investment.  |

I love mine and use it fairly often. I have used a wide variety of papers and cardstock for envelopes. Some work better than others. Mostly, I just have to add an extra stamp on the envelopes made with heavier cardstock.
