(1) unicorn based on Mitsumasa Anno’s illustration from “Anno’s Alphabet”

(2) cat from Kijitora cafe logo designed by Misato Ugai

(3) found a fun way to use up a bunch of museum logo stickers that were given to me (I just wanted one :joy:) - draw, paint, experiment with them as if they are sticker paper. As I am in awe of the variety of pansy colors I’ve encountered this spring, I painted a mini one as a sticker.

Could you share the template? I have a lot of old calendars I picked up at a resale store, but I haven’t been sure how to use them​:woman_facepalming::joy:

I use this template (A4 format):

I know that’s not the common size for papers in the US, but it’s really simple to make a template yourself. You may even google lots of different variants of envelope templates. I only did one myself as I needed a bigger than usual envie size, still fitting on A4 papers while staying within the allowed measures of Deutsche Post :sweat_smile:

Welcome! Just give it a try, it’s so much fun as a hobby to decorate envelopes and making handmade postcards these days. You can have a look also at the Handmade RR or handmade tags. You don’t have to be an artist to participate!

I know you asked for a template which works as well. But I bought this envelope maker a few years ago and it makes envelopes super fast!
You can also purchase at Joann or another craft store for a bit cheaper

Michaels is my go-to as it’s the closest to me. It does carry it online for around the same price as Amazon, but of course you can use a Michael’s coupon
