It's my favorite time of year!! I love sending snail mail to loved ones, and getting lovely letters in return! It's ALL I could ever want for Christmas. But I do admit, it can be stressful, looking at the daunting task of addressing every single envelope by hand.
Sure, there are services that will do all the work for you (Holla Tiny Prints! They have mail services available!), but if you want to send out a hand-written address, I've got you covered.

FIRST, get a marker or pen you love (I've mentioned my favorites for dark envelopes RIGHT HERE). Second, get your envelope template. The envelope template will not only help your addresses look beautifully aligned and awesome, you won't have to give it a second thought. Just place the template overtop your envelope and write away. If you're still intimidated by the whole thing, Here's a video breaking down my must-do tips & tricks: Here's what you'll need to make this happen:- Printer
- Craft Knife
- A7 Envelopes
- Marker (this is my fave for metallics on black envelopes)
- Silhouette Cutter (optional - use DXF file download for this option)
- Stencil Sheets (if using Silhouette)
Sure, you can use fancy-pants ink and nibs and make it all formal, but you don't have to. Even something as simple as your own handwriting in a large marker will look AWESOME. Trust me, everyone will tell you how awesome your cards were this year. Pinky promise.
And if your penmanship sucks? Don't worry. Here's a quick freebie on how to improve your penmanship. But if you want to learn calligraphy (good penmanship isn't a pre-requisite), check out my online classes in both brush lettering and modern calligraphy. We include personal feedback/coaching so you're not alone in your journey.
Can we stop and talk about how lovely the Tiny Prints designs are this year? And how amazing our photos turned out? We did a super quick session with the lovely Kristin Hale & despite how awful our children were behaving (they were all OVER the place), she still managed to get some fantastic ones that I will LOVE forever.
From our family to yours, Happiest Holidays!
