Hey guys, it’s been a while since I’ve made any free printables. The things I make aren’t perfect but I do like to share. If there’s one person out there who gets use out of the things I make, I’m happy! So, hopefully these will be of use – envelope templates.
If you don’t have an envelope bunch board, it can sometimes be a bit annoying to make your own envelopes (especially if your like me and hate measuring, and somehow struggle to draw a straight line even with a ruler!). All you have to do with these is print them, cut them, add a bit of glue and then enjoy your consistently sized envelopes! I’ve made four templates:
- 5×7 inch envelope
- 5×7 inch note card to fit in envelope
- 3.5×7 inch envelope
- heart shaped note
The heart shaped note is really cute and inspired by the ones that came in the Flow Book for Paper Lovers. I thought it would be nice to be able to make some more using the nice papers I have so I eventually came up with my own template to print out.
*Download templates here (link leads to a dropbox file)*
You’ll find both jpg and pdf files.
Step One: select your paper (preferably one sided decorative paper so you can see the template clearly on the white).
Step Two: Print the files on the blank side of the paper. When printing the PDF’s, you can print any size but for example, if you want the envelope to be a 5×7 inch envelope like the file is named, make sure you’re printing on A4 sized paper and select ‘actual size’ in the print options.
Step Three: Cut out.
Step Four: Fold along the lines (use a ruler to help keep them straight) and glue down the flaps of the envelopes.
And enjoy!
Hope you find these templates useful. Let me know if you come across any problems with them and I’ll see what I can do.
I can’t wait to try this. I have some very pretty stationary (printer size) that I think I’ll try first.

I love that heart-shaped note–so adorable! Thank you for this wonderful template! Almost enough to tempt me to track down some ancient ink cartridges for my veritable fossil of a printer: sometimes I imagine how much easier my crafting life would be if I printed things regularly 😀

Aren’t they just adorable – why leave a plain and boring note to someone when you can make it a heart! Took me a few attempt to get the shape right so it folded properly but I’m glad I persevered with it!
I don’t know about printers and easier – I tend to have a lot of arguments with my printer (mind you, it’s not the youngest of printers either!). When I need to print a few things, I have to psych myself up for it because it usually takes far, far longer then I think it will because something always, always goes wrong! I good cup of tea is usually required to help keeps things calm 😀
