A6 envelopes with Envelope Punch Board
 

Hello all.....I'm looking at my WRMK envelope punch board. It defines an A6 size envelope as being 4 1/2 x 6 1/2. As far as I know, an A6 envelope is 4 3/4 x 6 1/2. Has anyone figured out how to make a 4 3/4 x 6 1/2 envelope using the punch board and an 8 1/5 x 11 piece of cardstock?

TIA

Jo

I have an app called Envelope Generator and inserted card dimensions of 6-1/4" x 4-1/2". It came up with paper sized at 8-7/8" with punching at 3-3/4".

For a card sized 6-1/2" x 4-3/4", the paper called for is 9-1/4" with a 4" punch.

So, it appears that using an 8-1/2" x 11" piece of CS wouldn't work.

Cut 8.5" square, Score A 5" Score B 3 3/4" Makes a card that is 4 13/16 x 6 5/8. The extra 1/16 and 1/8 allows for slightly thicker cards.

Thanks for your responses, ladies....much appreciated! Carla.....I'm not sure I understand you.....are you talking about measurements for a WRMK punch board? Or something else?

Sorry, I wasn't as clear as needed. This is for the WRMK envelope punch board. Make the first score at 5" rotate paper and score at 3 3/4", rotate and score at 5" and the final score is at 3 3/4".

I laid a card diagonally in the middle of an 8.5" square, drew lines around the card and scored just outside of those lines.

Ta Da!!! Thanks so much, Carla!!

Greetings. Just saw your question. I use this idea to make all sizes of envys.
1. Measure your finished card diagonally from corner to corner.
2. Add 1/2 inch to the measurement and cut out the square. (ie. if the measurement is 6 1/2 - add 1/2 inch and cut a square 7 x 7.
3. Lay card on top of square and fold.

Thanks, Sue!

I'm glad you found a solution. As for myself, I ignore the measurements when it comes to scoring and just rotate the paper to where it lines up and score.
