Recommendations For A 3X5 Envelope (In The Us) ?

[ScottT]

Hi,

 

Title says it all, looking for a good quality (duh) enclosure-size I think it is called? An envelope to fit those nifty Goulet note cards. I keep asking them, but to no avail.

 

Reasonably priced, given the note cards are what, three dollars for ten or so, thus nothing by Crane & Co. probably.

 

I had these great little envelopes I found at a Marshall's. It was an open box set of foldover cards and envelopes, appeared just the once and that was that. Parchment style and great quality, lined as a nice bonus.

 

Anyway, thanks for the help!

You could check art stores, local bookstores, local printers for ready made envelopes.

 

Alternatively, you could make your own out of fountain pen friendly thick paper using a plastic template or a nifty multi size envelopes maker.

There are different models at various price points which mostly consist of an heavy duty plastic board with multiple scoring, cutting slots with a guide that stops at the size chosen.

 

The templates and envelope makers can be found at art and scrapbooking stores.

That is a wonderful idea, thank you!

Do a search under the paper and pen paraphernalia forum for a thread by Kiavonne titled "Bored". If you scroll down you'll see a link to greensneakers.com and Kreate-a-lope. Various sizes of templates are available. Amazon or ebay sometimes have other sizes.

Places like Hobby Lobby and Michael's may have them as well.
