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.
