Hello all! First off, I meant to get this post up sooner but what a beautiful weekend to get the garden in shape, so I will have a slight delay in the Make-Something-Monday series to give this some air time on the blog.
I was asked to review a product for a start-up company and usually I do not except, but . . . it was a quick envelope maker! When Nick mentioned a free sample, I was all there!
Below is the plastic piece. The great thing about it is that you can see where your front is. Plus it is super quick.
I embedded the video on how-to below.
I have to say I loved the product! I recommend that you consider supporting the maker. He is involved with raising funds to make a wider variety of envelope templates using the GreenSneakers site. For complete information, please check out the link here.
And just so you know, I know most of the videos on youtube show people making envelopes from the center of a page. It works best that way, but you can do it on the edge. I made a stack of Chinese menu envelopes to work out the kinks, and I only had to trim the edges on a few of them.
Take a look, make your own decision!
My Best,
-Becky

Wow, that was easy! Rip, glue, done!
ReplyDeleteI own one of these that I have had for probably 10 years or more. I don't use it that much (but may have to get it back out now...), but I would say that it has held up really well, despite being made out of plastic.
ReplyDeleteI got a card-sized one and so far, so good. I used thicker scrapbooking paper so the tearing didn't go so well but I really didn't mind using scissors and my bone folder. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI signed up for the Kickstarter project. I am a big fan of the process there and have supported over 20 projects.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your support Derrick!

I have been using two of these (different sizes) for at least 10 years. I prefer to use scissors on my edges, it just looks a little neater, but they have held up quite well and have not warped at all. I recommend them highly!
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S FANTASTIC. Running over to Kickstarter to back it now!! I so hope it gets funded!
ReplyDeleteOh now I'm confused... why is there a kickstarter for a product that already exists?
ReplyDeleteOh man, I am really jumping the gun on commenting before researching, haha. XD The Kickstarter is for new sizes. Got it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing! Just made me feel wanting one..
