Free Printable Envelopes Stationery Set for Letter Writers Alliance

free everyday envelopes stationery set

Happy April because it’s National Letterwriting Month! To all my fellow Letter Writers Alliance members, I designed a set of printable stationery awhile back and reposting it here for everyone to use. It’s sort of meta since it’s envelopes on an envelope design and printable writing paper. Hah! Maybe only my fellow snail mail enthusiasts would chuckle at that?

Either way it’s a printer friendly design that you can print at home and there’s a traditional greeting card, matching envelope and matching stationery paper. Everything you need to get your letterwriting vibes going, especially this month in celebration.

Super cute free printable pink coffee planner page to help decorate your spread for the week. Download for free on tortagialla.com

Today I wanted to share my plan with me notebook with you and how I create a weekly spread using free printables. I realize that often, it’s easy for me to fall off the bandwagon of planning, because life gets busy and I want to skip over parts. When planning gets too complicated, then it’s not really serving the purpose anymore.

I’m someone who falls in the middle of being super practical and minimal in my planner versus full-blown creative layouts and loads of decoration. I want planning to be functional of course, it has to work for me. However, I still want it to be cute and pretty to look at as well.

So the happy medium is to use printables or prepared decoration that is easy to add into my planning routine.

Let me share my current plan with me notebook and a super easy planner setup using the free printable pink coffee planner PDF. You can download it for free for your personal use below. Enjoy!

Looking for some free printable stickers for planners? These designs are super kawaii cute and make a great embellishment for any planner page or spread.

Previously, I sponsored a Sketch Saturday challenge and provided this printable sheet to the design team. They created lovely projects with the designs and now that the challenge is over, I can share with all of you. Take this free printable sheet and incorporate them into your next papercrafting project.

I’m definitely very proud of these cute illustrations I created and I think they would be perfect for decorating all kinds of paper projects. You can use them on the front of a handmade card or to decorate your monthly planner pages. They work for a variety of occasions and style, but always cute and kawaii!

My tip when printing designs is to use the brightest white paper you have and to print at the highest best-quality setting your printer will allow. That will give you the best quality image possible with your home printer. I often use the super affordable Amazon Basics Full Sheet Address Labels – which really is good quality for normal use. With printables and everyday stationery supplies, you can still have pretty embellishments on a budget.

If you love stationery, planners, memory keeping and journaling… you’ll definitely find a use for these beautiful illustrations. I hope you have fun playing with these free printable sticker designs.
