Default Measurements in inches for "A" size cards

I thought I saw a chart to convert the measurements of A2- A3- A4 etc size cards into inches. Does anyone know where to find that chart?

I finally bought the MS Scoring board and there is an envelope maker that comes with it.
The sizes are listed with an "A" + a number
I hope this makes sense. I feel like I have worded this in a clumsy fashion
Thanks
Barbara

A2:
Envelope size - 4-3/8� x 5-3/4�
Card paper size - 5-1/2� x 8-1/2� (half a letter sized sheet)
Finished card size - 4-1/4� x 5-1/2�


A4:
Envelope size - 4-3/4 x 6-1/4
Card Paper Size � 8� x 12-1/4�
Card finished size - 4-1/2� x 6-1/8�

A6
Envelope Size � 4-3/4� x 6-1/2�
Card Paper Size � 9-1/4� x 6-1/4�
Card finished size� 4-5/8� x 6-1/4�

A7
Envelope Size � 5-1/4� x 7-1/4�
Card Paper Size � 7� x 10�
Card finished size - 5� x 7�

A9
Envelope Size � 5-5/8� x 8-5/8�
Card Paper Size � 8-1/2� x 11�
Card finished size� 5-1/2� x 8-1/2�

For the A9 Envelope � you can use a standard 6� x 9� envelope and it buy in bulk.

Note: I don't know if these are the measurements with the Martha Stewart Envelope maker or not, but these are the standard sizes for A envelopes.

Hope it helps!

Thank you very much!!
The envelope maker template that comes ieht the MS Score board looks like it may be useful . I like 5" x 7" cards and I am currently buying my envelopes from Marcos paper, but it will be nice to be able to make an envelope to match a card if I want to do that.
Thanks again !!

I tried the envelope maker and it is so-o-o- easy to use.
Plus it makes a professional looking envelope.

It look about "2 minutes" to cut the square of paper, make 4 score lines, cut the little triangle shapes at the scoring intersections and glue the flaps .
I really like it !!
If you make A2 cards it only takes an 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" square of paper so you can get an envelope from an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of paper.

I use an extra paper liner in my cards with a computer typed message. I buy resum� quality paper to make my card inserts. The resum� paper will make a quality envelope

Thank you so much for listing this, Nikki. I was looking on the Internet for a long time and this is the first listing that makes sense. Louise

Another thank you! I'm going to print out and place this list on my bulletin board, so I won't have to hunt down the standard card and envelope sizes again - Love you for this!

Ha! I finally sat down and made all these cards templates and listed all the measurements on the template. I have them all lined up on my stamp table!
