Default Envelope template

STANDARD & LARGE ENVELOPE TEMPLATES:

Hi All,

I've made some custom envelope templates that have room for layers on your cards; you can see an example here:
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/796063

There are these sizes of envelopes:

A) Standard envelope (for a 4 2/8" x 5 1/2" card) with room for layers)

B) Envelope for 5 1/2" square card (print on legal paper or 12x12 cardstock cut to 8 1/2 x 12) Note: must PRINT ON BORDERLESS PRINTING
C) Envelope for 5 x 6 1-2 inch card (with plenty of room for layers on your card) Note: must PRINT ON BORDERLESS PRINTING

There are also over a hundred envelope templates & tutorials linked here:
http://melstampz.blogspot.com/2008/0...late-lots.html

How to print these templates:

1. Scroll down to attached files
2. Click on the thumbnail and click "save as" and then it should save as "all files."
3. You can open it with Adobe Reader and it should print full size.
4. If you don't have Adobe you can download it for free here:

http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

Please note: Template A (standard envelope) will print on normal settings
For the larger B &C templates--as long as you follow these instructions (regarding your printer) below--they should print full size. :0)

How to use these templates:


1. Open the file with adobe reader. Print the template on cardstock (for templates B & C--the larger ones--print on legal paper or 12x12 cardstock cut to 8 1/2 x 12) Under print > page set up> Make sure your printer is set to print on legal paper and on borderless printing (it may tell you this is only for photos, but it works great on cardstock.) Borderless printing is really important for these big templates.
2. Cut along the outside lines (being careful to get straight lines)
3. Place template in corner of cardstock or paper of your choice
4. Trace around the template with a pencil
5. Score from corner to corner (marked on the template with asterix)
6. Cut around pencil lines (taking care, again to get straight lines)
7. Erase pencil lines
8. Fold along scored lines and press with a bone-folder
9. Stamp if desired
10. Adhere where desired


I hope they work for you. If not, please just leave me a message here. :0)

Happy envelope making!
Mel

my blog: http://www.melstampz.blogspot.com/

P.S. Other sizes here:
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/fo...d.php?t=319954

This other thread has these sizes:
A) 4 2-8 inch square card
B) mini long-note 4 2-8 x 2 1-2 inch card (left over from the remnants of cutting the size above; wastes zero cardstock)
C) double template for mini note 3 inch square card (just a little larger than the one SU sells)

P.S.S. if you'd like another size just let me know and I'll make you one (as long as it'll fit on a 8.5 x 11.5 sheet of paper (that's as big as my scanner goes....) :0)

Thank you so much. I have been trying to figure out how to enlarge a template just for this reason. I am hopelessly envelope challenged. I plan to print the template directly onto the paper I want to use for making the envelope so I don't screw up tracing etc.
