How Do You Make Envelopes With the Cricut Maker?

The Cricut Maker is a cutting machine that allows you to create a variety of projects with ease. With the Cricut Maker, you can make intricate paper crafts, such as envelopes and cards. Making envelopes with the Cricut Maker is an easy process that requires minimal supplies and time.

First, gather your supplies. You will need cardstock, adhesive, scissors, and a ruler. The cardstock should be sturdy enough to stand up to mailing, such as 80 lb or 110 lb weight paper. For adhesive, choose something that is strong and will not peel off easily when the envelope is opened or sealed shut.

Once you have your supplies gathered, it’s time to start creating!

Begin by measuring and cutting the cardstock into your desired size for the envelope. For example, if you want a standard 5″ x 7″ envelope you would cut each piece of cardstock to 7 ½” x 10 ½” then score at 5” x 7” using a bone folder or other scoring tool.

Once your pieces are cut and scored, use the Cricut Maker to add decorative details such as washi tape or stamped images. To do this, load your design into Design Space and adjust it to fit exactly where you want it on your envelope pieces. Once everything is lined up correctly select ‘Make It’ on the bottom right corner of Design Space.

Next, place your envelope pieces onto the cutting mat with the decorative elements facing down then load into the machine. Select ‘Go’ on Design Space which will start the cutting process.

Finally, apply adhesive along all of the edges of each piece then assemble them together in an envelope shape. Make sure all edges are secure before sending out in mail!

Conclusion: Making envelopes with a Cricut Maker is an easy and fun way to quickly create custom stationery for any occasion! With just a few simple steps and minimal supplies needed it can be done in no time at all.
