We R Memory Keepers Banner Punch Board, Blue

This has been worth its weight in gold! A brilliant idea too and so versatile. It comes with a scoring tool that stores away when not in use and has a built in punch for making the indents and on the other side has a corner rounder. This is very easy to use, it gives plenty of options and sizes of envelopes with the size you need to cut your paper, tells you where to make the first score and all you do then is line up the score line with the arrow and punch and score away, one envelope made in a giffy! You are also not just stuck to envelopes, it can also make crackers and boxes. The punch isn't stiff, it's easy to use. I have a brilliant scoring board with an envelope adapter which is great and I use it alot but this small envelope maker is easier to use and makes some lovely envelopes that fit a large range of card sizes. I can't recommend this enough! We are memory keepers make other boards for pillow boxes etc so I have my eye on a couple of them to get after Christmas.

I first saw this product being demonstrated on a certain Craft TV channel where it was being sold with some "baker's twine" for £29.99, I liked what I saw just didn't like the price so when I found it on Amazon at less than half that price I bought it. I make jewellery & jewellery needs boxes. This is a great product and is easy to use to make an assortment of boxes for rings, pendants and bracelets. Bigger boxes are a great size for sweets and giving a great presentation for your cupcakes. A nicely made box can make a simple gift look luxurious. I like to use a thicker card stock for making the boxes. I like a pearlised or a matt foiled card run through an embossing folder as a lovely base to work with. I also take a strip of matching card and make it into a band to wrap around the box which not only looks good but also helps the box to stay closed. Some of the taller, narrower boxes seem to have most of the internal space taken up with folded card but this problem can be solved by either cutting the flaps so only one thickness is used or by placing the flaps on the outside of the box.

I don't usually write reviews and was sceptical when I bought this but it's a great product! Essentially you cut a piece of card (sized by the board markings), align it to the cutting mark and press. This cuts the envelope "notch". Then turn using the "arrow" and score, turning 90 degrees to create the folds. Use the not h cutting the other way to cut the rounded corners This sounds complex but it's so easy. Nice compact board too. Makes very professional envelopes. Plenty youtube videos to help too.

Excellent product which came in handy for making unusual envelope sizes for our wedding invitations. The instructions are easy to follow and the envelopes it produces look great. It takes quite a close attention to detail to make sure everything lines up correctly though, so a little bit of patience is required. I have two small criticisms about the board. The first issue is that the score line is not quite long enough for the larger envelope sizes. This means it's easy to score off the edge of the board, which can damage your paper. It's entirely possible to workaround this though -- it's a just a minor annoyance if you're making larger envelopes. The second issue I've found is that the reverse punch on the back (for rounding the corners) doesn't always seem to give a perfectly clean cut. It seems to depend on paper type though. That punch is really only for aesthetic value so it doesn't affect the structure of the envelope you produce. You can avoid the problem by using a separate corner punch if you have one.

Great for making envelopes in any and every size. Easy instructions. Feels sturdy. I’m pleased with it and I’ll get lots of use out of it.

Makes lovely envelopes in which ever size you need. Glad that I finally purchased this.

Brilliant piece of craft kit, so easy to use, absolute winner for anyone who like me has dexterity issues, has a good range of sizes too, light weight but well made

Great product but my main issue with it that when scoring with the scoring tool you have to be very careful as it is very easy to create a tear in the paper even when applying relatively low pressure. Whether this is due to the tip on the end of the scoring tool being too narrow or poorly designed or the groove being the incorrect width for the tool I can't say but it is safer to use a blunter scoring tool to avoid damaging the paper. When making larger envelopes with paper sizes of 10 inches or more, on 2 of the scores required, the paper extends beyond the end of the scoring groove, so the board would be much useful if it had been made 4 inches wider to accommodate the larger paper sizes for making bigger envelopes I would also question some of the sizes given especially for larger envelopes. Okay most times if the cards are very flat but if the card is decorated with any objects such as flowers or any stick-on embellishments then this can result in some items attached to the card protruding above its normally flat surface. In cases like these, one has to scale the size of the envelope up to accommodate these extras on the card.
