Envelope liners are a wonderful way to add a bespoke, customized feel to your stationery. They can add a needed pop of color or texture, create an opportunity to introduce a new design element + they can ground a design, bringing unity to an invitation suite.
Assembling your liners on your own doesn’t have to be difficult. With some preparation, careful measuring + the right tools, you can be well on your way to creating envelope magic. Here at Más+Millie, we provide custom liner templates for existing design clients who opt to assemble their own liners at home. However, if you are creating your own template from scratch, this is totally doable as well - just keep in mind that not all Euro-flaps are created equal! Finding an A7 triangle flap template online does not always mean you found the perfect template for your specific A7 triangle flap envelope!
Measure + confirm first!
