A little while ago I had a square card that I made in a class. So I took out my Envelope Punch board to make an envelope, only to find out there wasn't a square envelope that would fit my card. So with a little patience and a lot of scrap paper I came up with a way to make one.
I took the card measured it and looked at my Envelope Punch board for a size that was the closest for the paper size, I found you really didn't need to allow for room, since the punch board does this for you. I took that paper size and made it square. In this case my card was 4-3/4" x 4-34", my paper size was 8" For my first score mark, I divided the paper size in half, then my first score mark would be at 4" and this worked out to be the same score mark all they way around.
Here's a little video to show you what I mean:
I also took some scrap paper and made a few envelopes to find out what sizes they would make. Here are those sizes:
Paper Size = Envelope Size (square)
4" x 4" = 2-1/4"
5" x 5" = 3-1/8"
6" x 6" = 3-3/4"
7" x 7" = 4-1/4"
8" x 8" = 4-7/8"
8-1/2" x 8-1/2" = 5-1/2"
I hope this gives you a starting point for making your own square envelopes. If you have any question, let me know.
