cricut for envelopes?

[stampinbird]

I'm getting a Cricut Expression and want to know if any cart. make a regulare card envelope?

The Plantin Schoolbook, which comes with the Expression, makes a regular rectangular envelope. The Zoo Balloo and the Celebrations cartridges both have a square envelope, and the Wild Cards Cartridge has a bunch of different shaped envelopes. I don't have very many cartridges, but these are the ones I have that have envelopes. I'm sure a lot of the other cartridges have them. Take a look at the Cartridge Samples for each of the carts at the cricut site

That will help you decide which you "have" to have! LOL
Hope That Helps!!!

hmmm, thanks. I specifically want the A2 envelope for cards...

I too have the carts the other poster referred to. I have not tried them yet, but I think you would have to work with the measurements to get the envelope to cut the size you want. I'm sure with a little playing you can get the A2...it seems the wild card cart has the most choices for envelopes.

[stampinbird]

so you can change the measurements on envelopes?

I would think that if you cut a 3"card, you can make a 3" envelope for it and so on and so on. Not sure exactly what size an a2 would be on the cricut. I would try for you but I am on my way to boston in about an hour, so if you cant get an answer by wed. let me know and I will see what I can come up with for you

Using the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge, you cut the envelope at 5 1/4" and it cuts perfectly for a quarter fold card. which I believe uses an A2 envelope.
