💌 8 (Free!) Time-Saving Printable Mail Art Templates
Get your printer warmed up! Today, I’ve got a roundup of the top eight free mail art printables on the TPK website.
Every now and then, I like to revisit the creative journey that has unfolded on this blog. This morning, a throwback post, the Luminous Printable Mail Art Envelope Template, popped up on Pinterest and inspired me to share TPK’s top eight free printable mail art templates with you. These templates are your favorites, ranked by the number of downloads!
Before We Get Started: How to Use Printable Mail Art Templates
I designed printable mail art templates for those days when you want to send something special via snail mail, but you simply don’t have the time. To begin, print the template on the paper of your choice. (I typically print on 32# HP Laserjet or 80# drawing paper that’s been cut to fit inside my printer.) Then, cut out the template along the guidelines, and follow the steps below:
Step 1: cut out the template; step 2: fold all the tabs inward. Step 3: glue the bottom tab to the side tabs; step 4: insert contents, then glue the top flap shut. The mail art templates highlighted in today’s article are free favorites. If you love the idea of printable mail art, TPK has some previously vaulted premium bundles available through the end of May. You can browse them here!
TPK’s printable mail art bundles are typically unavailable. They’re making a week-long return to the Digital Catalog through Friday, May 31st. 1. Holiday Printable Mail Art
At 8,402 downloads, the Holiday Mail Art Template is the most popular on the TPK site. While I suspect you may not have a use for it now, you can “pin” it for use later this year!
This mail art has a whimsical look to it as a result of not-quite-blended acrylic paint. Try pairing it with Kaitlin Style calligraphy to enhance its whimsy. 2. Block Printed Mail Art Template
At 7,227 downloads, the Block Printed Mail Art Template — designed by artist Katharine Watson — is a gem of a mail art printable! It’s got a folksy Scandinavian look to it.
I love the look of elegant Janet Style calligraphy + Sans Serif lettering on this envelope. 3. Typography Art Envelope Template
The Typography Art Envelope Template is a bit different from all the other printables on this list. It’s not a ready-made piece that you print, cut, and fold. Instead, it’s a piece of paper that you slip into an A7 envelope to trace! 6,039 brave souls have done it, so I know that you can, too. 🙂
You’ll need to add your own lettering to this envelope art. I recommend using a combination of Flytrap and Sans Serif fonts (from the Premium Hand-Lettering Worksheet Set). 4. Luminous Printable Mail Art Template
If I were making a list of my personal favorite mail art templates, this one would be #1! I guess I have a thing for lamps and lightbulbs? 🙂 As it is, though, this mail art template has 5,319 downloads, making it the fourth most popular on the TPK website.
Try adding all-lowercase Kaitlin Style calligraphy + a collage of three postage stamps to give this mail art even more personality. 5. Printable Valentine’s Day Card + Envelope Pair
At 5,165 downloads, the Printable Valentine’s Day Card + Envelope Pair has enjoyed a fair amount of success since its release several years ago. The floral theme makes it great for Valentine’s Day, but, really, it works for any occasion!
Try using your paintbrush to write a simple but impactful “LOVE” in the center of the printable card. 6. Watercolor Henna Printable Mail Art
I love the ombré red/orange/yellow color scheme and henna motif in the Watercolor Henna Printable Mail Art ! It’s got 4,703 downloads to date.
Try pairing this mail art with watercolor calligraphy. 7. Spider Halloween Mail Art Printables
The creepiest mail art printables on the TPK website have been downloaded 3,432 times! You don’t have to wait until Halloween to use them, though. They can add a noir flair to someone’s mailbox any time of year.
I love these envelopes with some paint/ink spatters. Something about spatters amps up the “creepy” factor. 8. Haunted Mansion Mail Art Template
This spooky mail art depicts a spooky haunted mansion framed by leafless tree branches. Bats fly, a crow caws, and clouds move across the sky. This is the perfect mail art to send in the autumn — bookmark or “pin” it for then! At 1,704 downloads, it’s a seasonal favorite.
I like to use painted orange George Style lettering to write the recipient’s address. I hope that you enjoyed this roundup! Several of these free printable mail art templates are from quite a few years ago, so my hope is that this is the first time you’re seeing them. If you have any questions about these printables or mail art in general, please feel free to ask in the comments! It’s always a pleasure to hear from you. Need inspiration for what to slip inside one of these? See the 7 Reasons to Write Letters post, or drop a note to a More Love Letters recipient.
Thanks very much for reading TPK, and have a great weekend!
Warmly,
