envelopes

[tamdawn64]

Do you order your envelopes for your cards online somewhere? If so where, or do you make them or just get the ones that are at Michaels or JoAnns?

I have used Marcos Paper and really like them , but think they may be a little high.

Any thoughts?

I usually get mine at Office Depot or Staples. They are pretty reasonable.

I know some people really like "nice" envelopes, and that makes sense for something like wedding invitations.

Most of the people I send my cards to are friends and relatives and don't pay much attention to the envelope, just rip it open to see the card.:mrgreen:

I like to make 5x7 cards and was looking for a good source when I found a box at a rummage sale of 5x7 envelopes from someones wedding invitations. The white paper was really, really nice. I paid 50 cents for about 200 of them!! Do you know anyone who had a family member get married recently?

I have heard other's that have gone to print shops and were given leftovers for free. You might give that a try.

I make my own, only because I make all different size cards, and cannot often find an envelope to accomodate the card, plus I think it is cheaper to make them yourself and they are prettier.

I order from the above company. I usually get a few friends together and place a big order. They ship fast and have very nice envelopes.

I just ordered a box of 250 envelopes from here for $10! I love them.

I buy the ones at the office stores. Then I found a bunch at a thrift store.

Also I make a bunch. I make them out of old calendars, old children's books and old atlas books.

Since you are in Ohio take a little drive to Hollo's Papercraft in Brunswick Hills. I buy packages of 100 envelopes for $4.00 there. They have white, ivory and any other color imaginable. Their phone, for hours and directions, is 330-225-0911.

I've ordered from clearbags.com and cutcardstock.com and loved the quality and price at both places. I've gotten envies at JoAnn's but the quality didn't seem as nice as the ones online.

I also use the www.clearbags.com E120 envelopes. I order white and ivory. I always order in quantity of 2000 and including shipping is only $79.-- I cant remember the cents but 2000 for under $80.00 is great that is only like .04 per envelope. I highly recommend them.

I buy the card/envie combo at J's with a coupon.

Pretty reasonably for just envies. And I use the cards, but in half for layering. I prefer a heavier weight for card bases.
