suggestions for mousekeeping envelopes

[PrincessPenny]

i have seen posts with links to print nice envelopes for mousekeeping. when i tried this a few weeks ago it didnt work for me the print on the envelope came out on the top middle of the envelope & we werent able to figure out what the problem was. does anyone have any other suggestions other than printing onto the envelope? i was thinking of maybe just printing out some graphics & taping them to the envelope. any suggestions?? we leave in just 9 days!!!!!!! thanks!!

You may be using the wrong size envelope. I use #10 and have printed them in the past on an HP 832C Deskjet and this time on a Lexmark Z710 and have never had a problem except the very first time when I tried to use a smaller envelope.

I think that I found a link to doing this on the allearsnet.com website. I found it last year when planning our honeymoon. I print our the envelope on regular paper to make sure I orient the envelope the right way. Every printer is a little different in terms of loading the envelopes. Good luck-you can do it!

On our recent trip, I found some Disney stickers (at WalMart, about $2 for the pkg.) and put those on plain envelopes. They were decorative, and easy.

I went to themouseforless.com website and they have a mousekeeping envelope project. You print out the picture on a standard size piece of paper and then it has lines to cut around and kind of folds up like a fan in the back. Very cute and easy.

I know which ones you are talking about, I'm having a problem with them too. The graphic is very small, and since it is .pdf, there is no way to resize.

exactly ladycluck!!! i guess i will just print out some graphics & tape them onto envelopes & put on some disney stickers & some christian ones too.

I have the Walt Disney font on my computer so I am going to print a message on a #10 envelope and then use some Disney stickers I bought at the Disney store to let my daughter decorate the envelopes. HTH
