  1. Great tutorial. I have just been wrestling with trying to find envelopes this deep for all our beautiful embellies. Thank you so much for this really timely and wonderfully explained tutorial.

  2. Hi Pam!
    I enjoyed watching your video’s. Very easy to follow. I wondered how to use that envelope thing on the Martha Stewart scoreboard. I am very much a visual person so this helps a lot.

  3. How cool of you to come up with measurements for thicker cards! I have the Martha scorepal & have made my own evelopes a lot, but never did the “thick” ones before. And I had never left a little tab in my cut outs. Leave it to you to find something better! I printed your measurements out & have it by my scorepal.
    You’re awesome!

  4. Hi Pam, Thank you for the wonderful tutorial on how to make the envelopes. The measurements are going to be so helpful!! I’ve printed them to keep near my scoreboard. Have a wonderful weekend!!
    Hugs,

  5. Hi Pam, TFS all this great info! I especially appreciate the info on the paper, was looking for the right paper to make envelopes, now I know where to go and what to buy! Great video, Pam, thanks!

  6. Fabulous! Thanks! One question though, can you make a dimensional envelope for a 5″ X 7″ card also with the Martha Stewart Score Board. For me the 1/4″ deep envelope would be perfect. My email is ……….. dvmc99@yahoo.com If you don’t have time to answer, I understand, and thank you anyway.

    1. The 6 1/8 square envelope is exactly what I have been searching for along with making it deeper! Thank you so very much.

  7. Wow! Thanks Pam for another wonderful video tutorial! Only now I’m getting a chance to visit and comment on my fav blogs. So glad I was able to catch this one! 🙂 Thank you for sharing your tips once again.

  8. Thank you SO MUCH for this! Envelopes are my weakness. I actually dread mailing my cards because of having to make/find an envelope to mail them in. 🙂 Apparently I’m making it harder than it really is.
    HUGS & Thanks!

  9. Hi, i was wondering what tool our using to score with on the martha stewart board? seems easier than that tool that comes with the board.

    thank you!

  10. Thank you…thank you…thank you for your wonderful tutorial. I’ve owned the Martha Stewart scoring board for over a year (not knowing how to work with it) and now, thanks to you, I just made my first envelope!!! It looks and functions fabulously. Thanks for taking the time to share!

  11. Wow!! I am so impressed. Your tutorial is so easy to follow–just have to buy the tools you used. I’m so tired of trying to find the right envelope. I may even become a pro at these, and are people not impressed when we can make things our
    selves?! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.
