Where do you get envelopes for 3x3 cards or do you make your own? I was planning to make some things for a craft fair and this size would be great for some of the things I wanted to make.
Thanks!
They are available in the SU! catalog. There may be other places to purchase them, but I haven't found out where and I have looked around. Of course they are on ebay but overpriced there.
You can buy any size envelope you want from Marcospaper. They carry the 3-1/8 x 3-1/8 size for $27.95 for 250 or $7.25 for 50. I buy envelopes from them all the time. Check them out!

I was wondering the same thing! I never thought of making 3x3 cards until I found this site. There are so many wonderful examples that I would like to emulate, but I don't have a SU demonstrator and haven't even seen one of their catalogs.

If you go to www.stampinup.com you will find a link to the on-line catalog as well as a link to a demo locator which will help you find a demonstrator near you.
Teh 3x3 envelopes are too small to send throught he mail even with extra postage. But the cards make adorable gift tags and can also be thrown into regular letter envelopes to save on postage.
There are small Mary Engelbreit Christmas Card sets at Mike's. They are perfect for the 3x3's, quality is a different issue, but if you are looking for something quick, you could try it. There are ~10-12 cards with envelopes in a small box.
Amy Westerman did a really great job decorating one and it can be found on her blog here- http://heartfeltgreetings.blogspot.c...monday_17.html
These looked so great when she finished them.
What I do is put a cute little brass paperclip with a ribbon tied onto it and clip the card close this way, not using an envelope. A 12" X 12" piece of cardstock will make a total of 8 little 3" X 3" cards. A 3" X 3" out of regular CS is about 5 cents a piece and textured CSis about 6 cents a piece. The envelopes are 18 each! That's why I use the cute little paperclip.
Those 3x3 cards are so cute that sometimes you just want to send it in the mail. Some genius on SCS shared her trick & I hate that I have no idea who! here goes...
Take a regular card envelope & use a decorative punch in the bottom right corner. Slide a colored strip of paper or a nice patterned paper in to show through the hole. Glue it down so it doesn't slide & *VOILA* your own fancy envelope that meets mail regulation & will hold the little 3x3 in place in the envelope!
Good luck!
