Envelope problems
I see all these fantastic cards BUT I have a huge problem... Some cards just need to be no standard sizes for them to 'work'. By this I mean to look athletically pleasing. But here in lies the problem - ENVELOPES!!! I have one of those envelope maker things but they also have standard size ones that they produce. How do I over come my envelope dilemma? If I do make my own they always end up being too big.

I tend to stick to making my cards to fit standard envies so kind of avoid that problem :lol:
Have you thought about making something apart from an envelope? You could make something like a pillow box - I make them for cards that have lots of 3D detail and you can put little goodies like sweeties in too. I'll have a template somewhere I can dig up for you.
You could also have a go at making a 'wrapped' card. This is where instead of an envelope you just wrap your card up like a little prezzie with tissue paper and ribbon - it makes really special birthday cards or special Christmas cards. :)

pillow box template
Found one - it's C6 ish size just slightly bigger. You can use the same idea and adapt it to suit what size you want.
