SU envie template ideas - expanded topic
 

(ORIGINAL QUESTION) ... Can anyone explain how to use the envelope templates from SU? I don't have any but I'm thinking of getting one, not sure which one. there is the mini, which looks as though it's pretty simple. The 5 different envies are seperate, although the description says it makes 5 envie but only two sizes, it looks like it makes all different sizes. Is that correct?
Then the other is the 5-in-1, that is suppose to make 5 envie of 2 sizes, but it looks like it is a template for only 2 envies. Is that correct. I can't find a picture that I can zoom and actually read what the templates say.
Can anyone help? I'm pretty much looking for a template for 3x3 cards and larger.

Now that I know how to read and use the template, does anyone else have ideas for the SU 5-in-1 envie template? Cards, boxes, etc?? I'm trying to get the most out of this template and create some fun stuff.
Thanks!!!!

Hi Carla, I have the 5-in-1 template, I can scan the sheet that comes with it and then email it to you if you'd like? PM me your email addy if you would like! :D

Wanted to add that the template gives the sizes of the cards and envelopes:

Mini card 2.25" x 1.25" and Mini Envelope 2.5" x 1.5"

Card 6" x 3.75" and Envelope 6.5" x 4"

Hi Carla - the Five-In-One is awesome! I've attached a link to my class projects, and the photo description has a link to all the instructions:

I have all the old envelope templates and the 5 in 1 and I love them. I make ALL my own envelopes and then stamp or line them to match my cards. They are so easy to use - trace and cut out. There are score slots so you can use a scoring tool to score your fold lines first, but I never use them. I just get a finished card and line up the edge with the edge of the envelope and crease, then move it to the next edge and crease. Works for me! And there is a line to show you how big to cut a liner, and that makes for a really pretty,finished look.

Forgot to say - sometimes when I have stamper's block but just want to create something, I make a stack of enveleopes! :)

Gayle, thanks so much for the link to your fabulous projects and for the instructions. I have downloaded them and will try them some time in the future! :D

If you buy the huge "stack packs" of paper at Michaels or Hobby Lobby like I do, there are probably lots of the patterns that you won't like for card fronts.

The patterns make great envelopes. Just put the pattern inside and the white part outside. I figure any kind of fancy envelope is better than a plain one. Some of the papers are pretty dorky, but make good envelopes, lol.

Wow, these are great ideas! Thanks!!!!

Great idea! I can see myself do that. Thanks for the tips!

You are so right! There are always combos I don't like so that is a great way to use them up. Thanks!
