Since I'm about to start teaching my Christmas modern calligraphy workshops with the London Craft Club, I have designed a modern calligraphy envelope liner as a freebie that you can download and print at home to make your Christmas cards look really special.
Right click/control click the image below and select "open image in a new tab" from the drop down menu. Once the image is in a new tab you can print it using your browser (File > print). Before printing, check the printing settings to make sure it's scaled at 100%. If it's printed smaller or larger the sizing will be off for the envelopes, so checking the scale is important. The envelope liner is designed to fit an A6 size envelope with a curved flap. It fits printed on an A4 size paper, portrait layout. Then it will need to be trimmed with scissors, or a guillotine for the straight lines and scissors for the curvy bits. Once you've cut it out, slip it into your envelope and stick it down using a glue stick.
The envelope liner looks lovely in red envelopes, but it would also look great in a fir green, a brown or a cream coloured envelope.
If you've been to one of my Christmas modern calligraphy classes, I hope you like these envelope liners to go with your modern calligraphy Christmas cards! If you haven't been yet and live in London, why not book onto a class to make your Christmas cards and tags extra special this year? You'll learn a skill that you can use for years to come. After all, like they say, modern calligraphy is for life, not just for Christmas!
