I’m thinking pink and I’m thinking plaid on this lovely Friday. So, I originally thought I’d try my hand at making my own pink plaid pattern and sharing it with you on Silhouette Studio. After searching the web for inspiration, I came across this awesome, nifty, free tool called PlaidMaker. Why reinvent the wheel when you already have this awesome tool at your finger tips, right? With PlaidMaker’s help, these DIY Pink Plaid Envelopes were so easy to make. I feel like I’ve struck gold! Want to make your own?
The What
- Silhouette Studio
- Silhouette cutting machine
- Cutting mat
- Printer paper
- Printer
- Envelope shape (digital or physical template)
- PlaidMaker
- Glue
The How
- Go to PlaidMaker and make your plaid pattern. The how-to video was really helpful.
- Download your file
- In Silhouette Studio, open your plaid file and resize the tile
- Use the Replicate tool to repeat the tiles throughout the page
- Print your patterned page
- Load your page onto your Silhouette cutting machine
- Open and place your envelope shape on your pattern, then send to cut using copy paper settings
- Assemble your envelope (adhere with glue)
And that’s it! You now have our own pink plaid stationery. How did yours turn out?

Such cute envelopes, if I had someone special to write I would have chosen this envelope or the grid ones to enclose them. Oh! and the plaid maker never heard of it before. Looks like I might have to check it out!
Have a great weekend:)
Thanks, Sweet Marwa! Hope you’re having an awesome weekend too ?
