Hi, There's an even simpler envelope by Francis LeVangia in the Art of Origami by Gay Merrill Gross. This excellent book has been out of print for a long time. I've recenly gotten used copies of origami books on thriftbooks.com which are in very good shape and a bargain and also cheaper shipping than amazon.

Then I developed my own using the same locking mechanism for the bottom of the envelope. You can see what I came up with on my instagram here<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fp%2FCm2RASMp3xI%2F%3Futm_source%3Dig_web_copy_link&data=05%7C01%7CGurkewitzR%40wcsu.edu%7Cd288d675874042aa36b308daeb792530%7Ce1622dbc94ba48ad87bba7f28074ee3d%7C0%7C0%7C638081202809991306%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=40JEQWb4EnGC0JuRwAQnkhWaEKl8mqWWoJe7zlCnMd0%3D&reserved=0>. It is super simple so it's likely I'm not the first to stumble upon it. I have also uploaded the folding sequence there. Thank you to all who lent a helping hand, and have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Do you need it to be of the exact size or can there be a bit of leftover space inside? I think many rectangular models will work for you.

I do advice that you add a few of millimeters, or sixteenths of an inch, taking into account the bulk of eight cards, There's one I like in particular, it's EnV DeloP, a variation by Michel Grand of Gay Merrill Gross's Merrill Envelope. That's because the model doesn't eat up too much of the original sheet, and in Michel's variation, you don't have to unfold the envelope completely in order to remove its contents. That means non-origamists will have no problem in opening and closing the envelope as many times as they wish. It has often happened to me that when I give certain types of origami containers to non-origamists, they end up with an unfolded and creased paper after opening it, which they don't know how to fold again nor have enough motivation to try. That's why I call those models containers for origamists ; ) If you're interested in that particular envelope, I suggest you contact Michel. Do you already know him?
