DIY Stationery – Create Your Own Envelope Cutouts

I think a little DIY stationery is in order on this chilly weekend. I absolutely love pairing bright colors with neutrals, don’t you? This color combination inspired me to alter my envelopes a little and add a cutout to show a pop of color. I used Silhouette Studio and my CAMEO to cut the shapes. If you do not have these, I’ve included PDF files for free download so that you can cut with a craft knife and cutting mat. Shall we create our own envelope cutouts together?

The What

• Silhouette cutting machine (I own the CAMEO)
• Silhouette Studio
• Cutting mat
• Free envelope shapes for download (Studio 3, Envelope PDF, Liner PDF)
• Kraft cardstock
• Brightly colored paper
• Scoring Board
• Glue

The How

1. Download and open the Studio 3 shape

2. Load your kraft cardstock, then cut your envelope shape using cardstock settings

3. Load your colored paper, then cut your liner using copy paper settings

4. Fold, score and glue

And now you have a set of happy-colored envelopes! When you are ready to send to your loved ones, just write their names in the colored window, seal and send! Which colors did you choose?
