General Instructions
These tutorials show how easy it is to create a simple, custom envelope to mail letters or something more elaborate for gift-giving and special occasions.
Blank Templates & Patterned Printables
Many of the resources below have more than one design available. There are a lot of decorative prints here but some are blank so they are to be transferred onto paper of choice.
DIY Liners – Basic Instructions
The steps for making these inserts are pretty basic and there probably isn’t a need to have more than one or two resources listed in this section, but I think it’s nice to have a few different options to look at.
Lovely Decorative Liners
Each of the below have a few goodies to download. I’d like to build up this section so if that interests you, watch this space for future updates.
