The box can be sized to hod as many cards as desired. A great tool for calculating the paper size and punch interval is the Box Buster from The Crafty Owl . For envelopes, put 0 in the "height" measurement or use her Envelope Expert tool. Thank you Joanne James from The Crafty Owl for your generosity in sharing this tool. I am so grateful for the international community of crafters who share their expertise so readily - I call it "crowd-initiated innovation" as we all expand on each other's ideas. Ideas in this post have been CaSEd from Linda Parker of Papercraft with Crafty , Vicky Thompson from Penguin Crafts , and o
