Step 3: Print Your Liners

Since the liner templates are set up on a standard 8 1/2 x 11 sheet, printing is a breeze. Just pop paper in your printer and click print.Make sure that the paper you have ordered is compatible with the printer you are using. You can find this information on the website.

Step 4: Cut Liners using Subtle Guidelines

You’ll notice that there is a light gray printed border on the paper. This border is the size that the liner needs to be, so just trim along the lines. If you aren’t sure which style paper trimmer to use, check out our article Tips for Choosing the Right Paper Cutter for Your Project.

Step 5: Glue Liners to Envelopes

Once you’ve cut your liners to size, it’s time to glue. For this you can use your glue of choice, though we recommend ZipDry. If further instruction is needed see How to Line Your Own Invitation Envelopes. Once you are done gluing, just stuff, seal, stick on a stamp and send them to your guests!
