Print The Cards and Liners

Each design comes with the card printable and the envelope liner printable. Print your saved card file onto 8.5″ x 11″ cardstock, medium to light colored paper recommended. Then print the envelope liner on regular weight paper, it should be printed on a thin paper, not a heavy cardstock.

Make The Liner

Since the shape of everyone’s envelopes will be different, we’re sharing a printable sheet instead of one size liner. Trace your envelope on the printed sheet then cut it out 1/8″ inside your trace line. Slip inside of the envelope, fold the flap down to create a crease and adhere to the top flap of the envelope only using a glue stick. Fabulous, matching envelope liners are really easy to make using these steps!
