There are 12 dies that help you quickly create custom accents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this mini series, I will be taking a look at the various ways to use the Envelopes Dies and coordinating stamp set, Ornamental Envelopes.

The note card size is 3-1\/2 x 5&#8243;. I call this the <strong>medium<\/strong> die in my liner chart below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most common Envelopes Die would be the A2 card size, a half sheet of cardstock folded in half. When closed an A2 card measures 4-1\/4 x 5-1\/2&#8243;. I refer to this die as the <strong>regular<\/strong> size. Stampin&#8217; Up! sells Medium Envelopes in Very Vanilla (item #107300), Whisper White (item #107301) and Clear (item #102619) for A2 sized cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>largest<\/strong> of the Envelopes Dies fits an A6 envelope. Stampin&#8217; Up! does not sell this size envelope, so I purchase mine elsewhere. The A6 envelope measures a whopping 4-3\/4 x 6-1\/2&#8243;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Envelopes Dies Liner Measurements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have the Envelopes Dies, you have envelopes. How do you know what size to cut your Designer Series Paper to make the two function as one? The Envelopes Dies do not come with suggested dimensions on the packaging (that was the first place I looked!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So next, I did some math and measuring and came up with a chart of my own. I wanted to be frugal with my DSP, using only enough to make my envelopes pretty without wasting my gorgeous paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I determined that I wanted about an inch and a half of DSP to tuck into my envelope. Thus I came up with the following chart to keep with my dies for future paper-cutting reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Envelopes Dies Paper Cuts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SMALL DIE<\/strong>: <strong>3 X 3&#8243;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>MEDIUM DIE<\/strong>: <strong>5 X 3-3\/4&#8243;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>REGULAR DIE<\/strong>: <strong>5-1\/2 X 4&#8243;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LARGE DIE<\/strong>:<strong> 6 X 4&#8243;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"974\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0803201152-1.jpg?resize=800%2C974&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Envelopes Dies measuring\" class=\"wp-image-1797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0803201152-1.jpg?resize=841%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 841w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0803201152-1.jpg?resize=246%2C300&amp;ssl=1 246w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0803201152-1.jpg?resize=768%2C935&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0803201152-1.jpg?resize=1262%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1262w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0803201152-1.jpg?w=1664&amp;ssl=1 1664w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0803201152-1.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>I used my grid paper to help choose my measurements.

It is important to place the adhesive along the top of your liner only. The bottom portion that is tucked into the envelope will be fine without any adhesive, which is convenient since it would be a very tricky accomplishment indeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0803201522-1.jpg?resize=800%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Adding adhesive the the envelope liner.\" class=\"wp-image-1806\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0803201522-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0803201522-1.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0803201522-1.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0803201522-1.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0803201522-1.jpg?resize=1536%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/0803201522-1.jpg?w=1607&amp;ssl=1 1607w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is just as easy to put the envelope liner into the envelope and add adhesive along the top portion, then close the envelope flap down over the paper. If you prefer to add adhesive to the paper before you put it in the envelope, and then slip the liner in, that works well too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Envelope Envy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see, it is so simple to add some flair to the inside of your envelopes. In fact, the hardest part may be choosing the Designer Series Paper you want to use for your envelope liners! Make sure you stop by my online store, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/juliemakson.stampinup.net\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/juliemakson.stampinup.net<\/a>\/ to find your favorite paper patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding an envelope liner may not be something you do every time you make a card, but it is definitely a way to make any card extra special. And there is more in store, as I continue to explore the array of options with the Ornamental Envelopes Bundle in my mini series!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creating Exceptional Envelopes Using dies to create fancy envelopes is not new to Stampin&#8217; Up!, but the Envelopes Dies, item #153531, is new to the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog.
