Creative Mailing Envelopes for Handwritten Letters

Creative Mailing Envelopes for Handwritten Letters

Today I am sharing a few ways to elevate the lost art of letter writing into a stylish event.

I love anything that has to do with pretty papers, pens alone with pretty handwriting. I am testing out a few new pens and very unique DIY envelopes.

Aren’t these envelopes cute? You can download the templates over at Camille Styles. All you need is paper and pens and don’t stop at thinking you can only use computer printer paper…

.. why not try making one of these envelopes with scrapbook paper, leftover wall paper, gift wrap, or maps.

The Lettermate

The-Lettermate

Once you have your envelopes made, I have been using this…. Lettermate to address them. I read about it on Pinterest and had to have it. :-)

The Lettermate Envelope lettering template

I have been practicing using it with a set of colorful gel pens. Seeing all the colors puts a smile on my face. I also bought a white opaque pen to use when addressing dark color envelopes.

The Lettermate makes addressing an envelope in a fancy way… doable for anyone, even if you don’t have pretty handwriting. I printed out the how-to guide which shows a dozen ways to use the template.

If you still like to send cards and letters through the mail I think you will enjoy making these to send your correspondence in style.
