DIY HOW TO MAKE VELLUM CASH ENVELOPES | Tutorial | Step by Step Guide and What Mistakes to Avoid

[@aelitamp4]

This cash-stuffing budgeting concept has yet to take off in Europe, so it ends up being rather expensive to order everything from the United States. Therefore, this is a very valuable video for those who want to keep their cash-stuffing binders organized and aesthetically pleasing.

[@amy5216]

It definitely has in the UK!

[@bakeuplittlesuzy9518]

These look so sharp! It's amazing how vellum can make even the grungiest dollar bill look fancy.

[@carrie3904]

Did anyone know how thick the vellum is? Thanks!

[@ChallengeYourWalletAarynLynn]

Hands-down, one of the best DIY laminated vellum envelope tutorials I’ve ever seen! I have bought bought these and yes you’re right they’re very pricey, but I will tell you they’re worth the cost because how long it took you to just to make one OMG I could not imagine having a shop and having to custom make these

[@Happy2planwithDesiree]

Wow, thank you! They definitely take a lot of time so I get the high price for them too!

[@KarenGibby-i9k]

I agree you explain it so well thankyou

[@VJG123]

Thank you for showing us how to make these. It will save us a lot of money!

[@blueparrish]

34:50 for the hole punches, that hole puncher has a slider on the bottom to adjust the guide on the top so that the holes are centered. you can adjust it from personal and a7 and others and it'll align with the hole punches

[@Happy2planwithDesiree]

Omg thank you!!!

[@cmalunaable]

Very helpful. Thanks

[@KrystalsKash]

Appreciate this so much. I just brought a set for like £80 but wanted like another 30 more, which was another small fortune. SO I got all the kit myself to make my own XD. This was so, so helpful. Thank you! Think they're easy to do when you know how but are time consuming. Love though that I can now change styles or personalise them as much and as often as I want!

[@cindydaley7461]

Only way to learn is from your mistakes. Great tutorial.

[@Happy2planwithDesiree]

Yes exactly!

Thank you Desiree for making this video very very informative, I've looked at other "tutorials" I tried it how they mentioned but never got that foggy finish.

Thank you for making this so easy to learn. I’ll be looking forward to watching more of your tutorials from here on out.

I've been looking at these online and wanting...I make greeting cards and have a ton of vellum...guess what I'm doing this weekend. I have a package sealer I wonder if that'd work? And then get my Cricut to cut vinyl numbers/words out. Thanks for the video! And the inspo!

I need to try this we don’t have many nice envelopes available in the UK so I’d love to just make my own and some for family/friends. Thanks for sharing 💞

[@LivingProsperously]

Hold shift when you drag the line, and it’ll keep it straight, so it doesn’t snap at an angle.

Thanks! I just learned this and it’s amazing to finally know that little trick

Good day. I have a question. Is there any specific vellum thickness for lamination? Or any vellum should work? Thanks.

[@Happy2planwithDesiree]

You can use any vellum size 3mm or 5mm but I prefer to use 5mm because they are a lot sturdier

[@KayJBudgets]

The measurements do not appear for me and I’ve went to settings and I could place a ruler however it messes me up with the margins. Please send me help lol Im trying to get a the measurements appear in Canva

Finally figured it out! From the menu bar select file then view settings. Then select show rulers and guides it should pop up then🤗

[@LeaveItToLisaCrafts]

The best envelope tutorial on KZbin! Quick question, since the 3 mil sheets are on the inside, can they be glossy instead of matte? Trying to figure out if I need to buy the 3 mil matte sheets, since I already have them in glossy. Thank you!!

[@Happy2planwithDesiree]

Yes you can!

[@Tune2dis41]

Your envelopes are pretty pretty! 😊

[@Minimalist__mumma]

Is the vellum needed or can you skip that step no printer here but I make labels with my cricut instead?

[@Happy2planwithDesiree]

Vellum is not needed so it can be skipped🤗

[@HomeschoolMamaJ]

Thank you for this video! I attempted to make my own bud I cannot get my printer to print on the vellum. What kind of printer are you using? Are there special settings? Thanks!

[@Happy2planwithDesiree]

Here's the printer I use amzn.to/3q9XGfQ The only thing I make sure to change is to set the print quality to best.

[@07areli]

Do you need a special printer for the velum sheets? Or will any Régulo paper printer do the trick ?

I just have a regular ink jet printer…nothing fancy!

[@jennirayner2492]

Hello, thank you so much for this video. I’ve made a whole batch of envelopes from your tutorial. Is the vellum supposed to be loose inside the envelope? Mine are fixed on three sides but the top edge is free. Does that make sense? So I have to be careful to tuck the money behind the vellum or it’ll slide in front of it. I keep rewatching parts of the video to see if that’s supposed to happen. I do have an edge over the vellum so it doesn’t catch but it being loose just seem right? Or is it? I’d really appreciate your help. Thank you.

[@Gatonegrosatx]

I love this so much ! This helps starting a budgeting journey and not having to spend so much to make it pretty and fun. I do have a question, is it necessary to do the double lamination sheets or will it work with just the vellum inside? Thank you!!

[@Happy2planwithDesiree]

I have to play around with trying with one lamination because last time I did that the vellum just slipped out. I think maybe I didn’t run it through the laminator when it wasn’t enough. But honestly I like having it doubled because it makes them even studier

[@Gatonegrosatx]

@@Happy2planwithDesiree that’s what I wondered too if it would just slip right out. Thanks for letting me know your experience and Thank you so much for your kindness! I can’t wait to try these!

[@annettebecker9719]

Do you think the mat look would cover finger prints?

[@Happy2planwithDesiree]

I don’t have an issue with fingerprints on the matte. The money does make them dirty after awhile but it’s easy to clean

[@lorettapowers6693]

I just found your channel and subscribed. I’m going to try your process on making these. Your instructions are very clear and easy to understand. Have you made the envelopes with tabs yet? Thank you.

[@lorettapowers6693]

Have you made a tutorial on placeholders? Would you print the money denomination on vellum and then just laminate them the same size as actual money? Also do you take money back to the bank after bill condensing? Thanks.

[@asmith5799]

Great tutorial! These are very nice envelopes. Can you tell me what the sheet is behind the dollars?

[@diywithdanie]

Is there a reason you didn't use the square to create the boxes?

[@Happy2planwithDesiree]

The square on Canva? Like I mentioned I’m not super tech savvy so couldn’t figure out how to make it just a thin outline. The outline squares on canva that I did see wouldn’t let you adjust the size to the exact dimensions I needed.

[@diywithdanie]

@@Happy2planwithDesiree oh ok. Next time you’re in it, try it. It has the 4 handles on the side to adjust to your liking and line widths you want. It’s how I created my envelopes.

Hi Desiree i love your video on making the envelopes for the binders there is just one question i want to ask you which printer do you use please

[@planswithrachie]

Thank you so much for this! This video is so helpful!

[@cassiej8938]

Hi Desiree! Not sure if you are still responding to comments here but I’ve been trying to make the envelopes the way you show here but for some reason the inside sheets are not sticking, no matter what I try. I’ve tried putting them through the laminator like 4 times even once cut down but when i try to open the envelope, the inside sheets are not stuck to the edges. The back two sheets sometimes do but it seems like the side that is against the vellum (I use cardstock) won’t stick to it! Have you or anyone else on here had this problem???

[@saralamere6652]

Does the 'personal' setting work with A6 binders you can buy on amazon? Or is that an A7? I have the punch from Hobby Lobby, and a binder from there too (the paper studio one) that uses the 'personal' punch setting. I seems different from the A6 setting. Help! haha, great video and I'll me making some this weekend!

[@Happy2planwithDesiree]

This is the most confusing thing I learned when I started this! 😅 the personal setting on the punch will punch holes for the binders you find on Amazon that say they are A6. The only binder I have purchased that matches the A6 holes on my punch is the moterm I have linked in my description. I made the mistake of buying this and now the envelopes I used in the moterm don’t work in the binders I buy from everyone else selling those A6 binders it’s so confusing! Hopefully this makes sense.
