Saturday Freebie #30!

How many envelopes does it take to change a lightbulb?*

[Edit - These files are no longer available here. Email me to find out how to access earlier designs!]

This week there are 3 cute envelope designs for you to download!

Obviously perfect for birthday and greetings cards, these envelopes could be used as the basis for an envelope book, or why not use them to hold photos or ephemera on a scrapbooking page?

Designed in the perfect proportions for cutting at A2 size, they can be resized or stretched to cut any size you wish, even square!

Again, these templates will be "live" for 1 week. Next Saturday, they will be taken down, and new ones will replace them. Don't forget, if you have any requests, pass them on! I can't promise, but I will take suggestions into account when planning future templates.

These files may not be uploaded to a group, forum or website for sale or redistribution, or shared among individuals. They are expressly for the personal use of each person that downloads them from this blog.

There are 3 files and I have put them into a zip file to make downloading easier. After saving it, open in the usual way, and drag the templates out onto your desktop or wherever you wish to save them.

There are 3 versions of each template:
  • A printable version (PNG files) that you can import into a program like Word, then resize, print, cut out and use like any other paper template (these are NOT Word files, so don't use File/Open in Word! Use Insert/Picture to bring them into a Word document).
  • An SVG version which can be imported into the Sure Cuts a Lot program and then cut out on your Cricut.
  • A DXF version which is Craft Robo friendly, and ready to be imported into your Robomaster software (I'm not a Robo user, so if there are any problems with this, please let me know!)
Simply right click on the appropriate button below, and choose "save link..." or "save target..." and save your template!

Any feedback on the templates is more than welcome, and if you have any suggestions for possible future templates you'd like to see, please let me know! If you make anything using one of the templates, please post a link to it here so that others can be inspired by how you've used them!

I hope you like the templates - let me know how you get on! :)

Dan

its not how many 'envelopes' but how many 'enviousblokes' does it take to change a lightbulb?

The answer of course is four: 1 to turn the bulb, 1 to hold the stepladder, 1 to check for any Health and Safety infringements and 1 to video it for "Youv'e been Framed!"


PS I am so grateful for all the excellent templates you produce. Thanks a million.

I think you just need one envelope.
Send a letter to someone you know for sure will help you change the light bulb :-)
They are great, Dan. Thanks again.

LOVE the envelopes but just starting with SCAL and can't figure out how to open these files..I think it's unzipped but it won't open :( Please help anyone

Dan said...

Hi Anon :)
When you unzip the file, you will have 3 SVG files, one for each style of envelope. In SCAL go to File>Import SVG and choose the envelope you want to cut. When it appears on your SCAL cutting mat, drag the bottom right hand corner to make it the size you want, and you're ready to cut! I hope that helps :)
