This particular template was one from the 1990’s from Draggin’ Ink. I’m found them a new home near my work area and so decided to put them to use. I “rediscovered” them while sorting out my stamp area. I probably have a dozen or so envelope templates. On the front? The back? Sometimes pictures with an overall design or landscapes are easier to work with than images with a focal point image that you want to line up in a particular spot. But you do want to think about the envelope style and where the picture elements will wind up on the envelope. It doesn’t have to be this way of course. But that actually works out well because it means that the whole picture area will wind up as part of the envelope.

This particular calendar has pictures that don’t fill the entire calendar page. As I’ve been sorting through my stamp area recently, I came across a stash of calendars from the 1990’s that I had saved but never used for envelopes. Use the calendar and then save the pictures to cut up into envelopes later. While you can purchase decorative paper or use a large piece of paper and color and stamp it, a popular decorative paper source among stampers has always been colorful calendar pictures.

īack when stamping was young, handmade envelopes were pretty common. But it occurred to me that as well as being prettier, if I made a few sturdy envelopes for mailing out small orders of unmounted stamps, I could save the folks who purchase them on VSN’s Online Yardsale a little money, making a good deal even a little better. It is obviously quicker to just grab a store-bought envelope. This is something I’ve done a million times in the past but actually haven’t done lately. The sun was shining into the craft room and made me want to hang out there.

The Label tab lets you choose whether or not to print your return address, which the app will automatically pull from your “Me” contact card, select which address (home, work, etc.) to print for your contacts, and customize fonts and colors. When printing envelopes, you can customize your envelope size on the Layout tab, with dozens of North American and International options from which to choose. The Contacts app also lets you print an ordered list of your contacts or an alphabetized pocket address book.

On the print menu, use the Style drop-down menu to select envelopes or mailing labels as desired. This will bring up the Contacts print menu. With your contact(s) selected, go to File > Print in the OS X menu bar, or use the keyboard shortcut Command-P. Next, select one or more contacts (hold down the Command key on your keyboard and click on each desired contact to select multiple contacts at the same time). Here’s how.įirst, launch the Contacts app, which is located in your Dock by default or in the Applications folder on your Mac’s system drive (you can also search for it with Spotlight if you’re having trouble locating it).
