The beauty of this, is you can adjust sizing to whatever size cards you're making. Just make sure that the bottom of the box is a little larger than your envelope size. And when calculating the size of your box top, make sure that you add 1/8" to the interior length and width so that your lid fits on your box. You can adjust to make a deeper box, or you can make a larger lid.
If you use these templates, I'd love to hear your feedback and see your results!
