Lined Envelopes (With Templates)
I've been meaning to make matching stationary for a long time and I finally took the time to do it yesterday!
As I was looking for templates for envelopes I was amazed at how difficult it was to find the different sizes I wanted, so I took apart some envelopes I had at home and traced them! I thought I would share them with you. I threw in a liner template for each one as well. Just click the little template photos and it should take you to a full-size version that you can print. :o)
The larger templates were cut in half so that you can print them easily. Once you've printed them, trace one (you don't need to trace the edge that says "flip") and then flip over to trace the other. Then fold and glue!
I hope you have fun with them! The ones photographed were all made with 12"x12" scrap booking paper, so if you have one of those great stacks of patterned paper it can be really fun to make matching color combos. Although, I think a simpler look would be lovely too. My sister-in-law suggested craft paper to me, and I love that thought. Wouldn't that be lovely? She even made some using a paper bag. Now that's cool.
Phew! It feels so good putting an idea up there that isn't a sewing project! Once in a while I step back and go "Oh yeah! There's a whole other world of crafting away from my sewing table!". I know that not all of you are sewers (sewists? Sew-mysters?) and I sometimes feel a little guilty that I don't share more non-sewing ideas.
Have a great day!!
Love,
Disney

ReplyDeleteLove the idea of matching cards and envelopes!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this! Dd and I enjoy making cards every few months for thank yous and such- it'll be nice to have some templates for matching envelopes. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you for these templates, I have spent way too long on goggle trying to find envelope templates too. This will make card making so much easier!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your "hi" greeting card and matching envelope.
This is great! I really like making cards, but I never even considered matching envelopes. Thank you for the templates.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I make my business cards from scapbooking stacks so that my cards arent always plain and boring. Ill definetley be using this idea for my thank you cards. Thanks Disney!
ReplyDeleteOnce again...you've inspired me!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
You may already know this, but wallpaper stores will give you their old sample books for free, which opens up a world of possibilities for envelopes! Usually the size of the book pages is plenty for envelopes.
ReplyDeleteI love making my own envelopes! I usually just find one to trace, but how nice to have templates of all different sizes. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this- I have never made my own envelopes, but it seems like fun.
ReplyDeleteI remember a few years back I opened up an old envelope and traced it on some new paper to make a new envelope...than I painted the new envelope before sticking it ...it was fun! the matching cards look real cool...thank you for the templates!
ReplyDeleteso cute :)
ReplyDeleteI wanted to do something like this around Valentine's Day but I was unsure how to start. I love that you did all the work for me and better then I ever could! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love these templates. What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteOoh, these look so happy! I will have to keep this in mind. I love having fun envelopes on hand!
ReplyDeleteSo fun!! Love this!
ReplyDeleteWhat I want to know is how long this took you... not sure I would have had the patience to do this, so props to you! :)
Haha, Eliza, funny you should ask that. I thought this would be a super-quick post, but due to certain four-year-old interruptions, it took pretty much my whole day. But it shouldn't take long for you guys to print out and make! :o)
ReplyDeleteI love these!! But I am having a problem - they are not printing full-sized. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteawesome and so lovely! TFS
ReplyDeleteKristy: is your page setup set for horizontal? I forgot to mention it, but you may need to change that. Otherwise your printer will make size it down to fit. So just click the sideways page when you're printing. Hope that solves it!
ReplyDeleteAww! I love these! Thanks for the templates!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I've always thought it would be cool to make envelopes and cards. Now I know how. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is so fabulous! What a great idea. I can't wait to make some! =)

ReplyDeleteSydney
one more beautiful what other!
ReplyDeleteI might try it out and change it for my own Gift Card envelopes.
ReplyDeleteI can't figure out how to print these. When I click on them, it takes me to Pinterest. What am I doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteSame here :(
