I have a new favorite crafting tool! I know that it is hard to pick a favorite when there are so many Cool Tools for Scrapbooking out there, however the Envelope Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers is bound to make your list of favorites too. I tried this tool for making handmade envelopes this week for the first time and was able to make a custom sized envelope in under a minute to go with a card that I had previously made. This new article shows you how to use the tool in step by step pictures and also gives you some ideas for getting creative with what types of paper you use to make your own envelopes.

The photos are easily changed at your whim on this project because they are held in place by a simple clip much like that found on a school or office style clipboard.
