8x8 envelopes?

I've noticed more designers are creating sheets for 8x8 cards....are there any good places to get envelopes that fit this size please?

I haven't made this size as yet, but am drooling over some sheets that I want to buy but need to get envies first.

Many thanks
Michelle

Some of the kits do come with an envelope - made with 2 sheets or,if you have a thicker card with either pyramid layers or decoupage, I have a template for a box to take 8" x 8" cards - this is CUP195787_692

Hope this helps

Hello Michelle, have you done a search on the main cup site for 8x8 envelopes? Some designers have made kits of plain and patterned envelopes in this size.

I usually buy this size card in a pack that comes complete with envelopes but I have purchased a kit to make one in case I want to make a patterned envelope.

Good luck - enjoy your crafting

Hi Michelle

Craft Creations' website sells 8" x 8" cards, envelopes and cello bags. I always buy mine from them.

wow! Thank you for all the responses - I knew there was bound to be someone who knew

I had checked under 8x8 envelopes....they didn't fit with the theme I had in mind, which was a shame....I'll have a look for the Tutorial, and a browse on the websites mentioned. Thanks guys

Hi Faith. I have some 8 x 8 scalloped cards with envelopes that I bought from the Creative Stitches and Hobbycraft Show from a Company called I-craft.com. However I have looked them up on the internet but can't find them (!), but the cards are standard 8 x 8 size. I bought recently from Joanna Sheen her 8 x 8 cello bags and they fit perfect.

Hi Faith

I have always bought the 8" x 8" cards, envelopes and cellos from Craft Creations and they have always fitted into the cello bags. I think CC cello bags are just a little bit bigger than most 8 x 8 from other companies, which is just what we need when doing decoupage.
