Card and Envelope Sizes
There are questions about the size of cards a person can make, and which sizes will go through the Postal Service. Keep in mind any envelope smaller than 4" x 4" has to be hand delivered. The US Postal Service will not handle or deliver it.
With that said, here is a chart of the sizes of cards and envelopes that you can make. At the end of this page you will find a video I made on how to make an envelope for your cards without a template of any kind. Just need a ruler. So here goes.
Paper Size | Folded In Half | Envelope Size |
3-3/8" x 4-3/8" | 2-1/4" x 3-3/8" | 2-5/16" x 3-5/8" |
4-7/8" x 5-3/4" | 2-1/8" x 5-3/4" | 2-5/16" x 6" |

Okay as promised, here is my YouTube video, Making An Envelope to fit your cards.
