You made the card — now you need an envelope, and the box of envelopes is empty (it's always empty). This printable envelope template is the fix: cut along the solid line, fold on the dashed lines, glue the side flaps, and you've got a real envelope that fits a standard letter or folded card.
It's oddly satisfying to make your own envelope — like a tiny origami victory. Kids love doing the folding, and a handmade envelope makes even a simple note feel special. Use a glue stick on the side flaps (not the top — you still need to seal it after the card goes in).
Print on regular paper for everyday notes, or on pretty paper if you want the envelope to match the occasion. Pair it with the blank note cards on this site and you're fully stocked for every thank-you note this year.
Decorate the envelope before you fold it — stamps, doodles, washi tape on the edges. A decorated envelope makes people open the mail faster, I swear. Presentation is half the gift.
Cut along the solid line, fold the four flaps in on the dashed lines, and glue the side flaps.
A standard letter or a folded card — it pairs with the note cards on this site.
Regular paper works; pretty or coloured paper makes it fancier.
No — glue only the side flaps, so the top stays open for your card.
