Addressing envelopes with your Cricut is great when addressing Christmas cards, party invitations, wedding invitations, or even shower invitations. It's easy to do, and it looks so much neater than handwriting! In this video, I show you how to address multiple envelopes on one mat. Be sure to use a single line or very thin font when writing with your Cricut. I used the free font Adequate from 1001fonts.com. It is linked in the section above.

This is by far the best instructions on addressing envelopes…and the least complicated. A little fast, but that’s what pause is for..lol. I will suggest one thing, if doing a lot of envelopes like wedding invites, don’t “delete” the envelope, just hide it.

Hi! Great tutorial! I am using the Cricut to address thank you cards for my business, but I have business return address labels that I use so I only need the client's address. I'm unsure about placement for just the address without having the upper address as a guide. Thank you so much for these. Your videos are easy to follow and to the point. BIG help!

@fariai298 3 года назад

I've watched so many videos and am starting to feel there is something wrong with me. I do all the steps and when I hit make it, it always shows it at the top of the mat (even though it shouldn't be based on all the steps I follow) everyone elses videos seem to make it go exactly where it should on the mat. WIshing I could figure out what I'm doing wrong!

@DIYAlex 3 года назад

If you click “edit” on the Make it screen you can move the address to go to the center of your envelope ☺️. Try that end see if it works!

@sharilee90 2 года назад

I can't believe I have the answer to this and nobody else has beat me to it. I am an absolute newbie but discovered the answer. 🤗 If you will be using a return address label and are not putting anything else on the envelope except the mailing address, what you need to do is make something for it to do at the top then if will go down to the middle. Let me explain: I pretty much do as the video says but I also get a circle shape and shrink it down as far as it will go and place it at the top left corner at .025 x .025 pos on each envelope. You will want to use the draw function for both the dot and the address. (I change the color to something else so that it will prompt me between both tasks). Then I make a text box and create the mailing address. The machine will prompt you when to switch out colors, and then when it comes time to make the dot (circle), I just leave the pen out and continue printing as it is. I hope this helps. I have been able to do my 150 wedding invitations this way!! 😊

@Enjoythepour Год назад

Amen. I have felt the same way. It’s a fear like when I bought the Instapot 😂

@aimeehousinger1542 Год назад

So helpful! Thank you! How do you keep everything aligned when you changed the "To" address in the second envelope? I'm doing 150, and I'd love to not have to individually align each one!

@DIYAlex Год назад

Now that Design Space has updated, I would create a guide using your envelope shape to make alignment faster! Or utilize the align menu and hit “center” so you don’t have to do it manually.

@libbys8520 7 месяцев назад

It turned out great except for the fact that I forgot to turn my return address into a "draw"format instead of "Cut" ha ha ha. I found a REALLY big address label to cover it up. I saved the project for that sized envelope in draw so hopefully I won't forget again! Cricut newly

@maraguijarro5738 Год назад

Hi I’m trying to address an an envelope and I’m doing the exact same steps as this video but I only want to include the people names. I don’t want to use the addresses every single time I press make it. It automatically puts the names at the top left Do you have any suggestions?

@DIYAlex Год назад

Yes it will always put everything in the top left corner unless you attach the text to the envelope shape.

@lindseyb59 Год назад

Hey Alex! Wondering if you can help? I'm following your tutorial to a T but my cricut is smudging itself while writing my addresses on my wedding invitations. I get left with lines all over the envelope. I am using the 0.4 Gelly Roll pens. Do you suggest trying a different pen? I've tried a few different fonts to see if that's the case and every time I'm left with lines all over my envelope!

@DIYAlex Год назад

Yeah it’s probably just taking too long to dry with the gelly roll pens. I would see if a different one works better.

@StephBen Год назад

hi, do you know if you can address a 5x7 envelope on a cricut joy? I know you can do a smaller envelope but hoping I can use a 5x7. thanks!!

@DIYAlex Год назад

You’ll have to turn it sideways because the Joy is only about 6 inches wide. I haven’t tried it but I think it can be done!

@jonibates7025 Год назад

Do you move the text in mat preview or does it just go to the mat where it should be , not the top left?

@DIYAlex Год назад

If you attach the text to the envelope shape, then the text will stay in the center of the envelope.

@jenniferlarter9458 2 года назад

I have 25 envelopes to do for my project. I know you only did two, and only two of mine will fit on the mat at a time. When you select the items to attach them, do you select the whole project, or just the two that fit on the mat at a time? I'm kind of a cricut newbie :)

@DIYAlex 2 года назад

I attached all the addresses after typing them! That way they all stay in place! ☺️

@bethanytyner6479 2 года назад

Question. I was trying to address an envelope without a return address on the front. I have done attach and it still wont print on that spot on the mat. Thanks

@DIYAlex 2 года назад

In the prep screen (after the green make it button) you can move the address to where you want it to write.

@jenniferlarter9458 2 года назад

When I went to attach all my envelopes (almost 30), there is a little ! in a yellow triangle next to attach after I selected all the addresses and attached them. It won’t let me “make it” until I fix the error, but I don’t know what the error is? I didn’t use return addresses and all the items I selected are draw/pen. Any ideas?

@DIYAlex 2 года назад

The triage is warning you that your Cricut can't cut that large of an image. That's why you can only do a couple of envelopes at a time that will fit on the mat.

@jennifermccormick2311 2 года назад

I don't know what I did wrong. I just used the address of who I was sending it to. No return address and I followed everything you said and my address was all the way at the top of the envelope and not centered. How would I fix something like this?

@DIYAlex 2 года назад

In the prep screen (right after you click make it) you can drag it to exactly where you want it to write.

@robertagosnell6239 2 года назад

Did you attach the return address and the recipient address together? That should help keep it in place.

@patriciashaver489 2 года назад

Worked with envelopes but tried to put text on the back of cards, did the same technique and keeps putting text at top left of the cards. Trying to center text on back of cards. I selected a box, sized it the same size as the cards, added text and centered it. I duplicated the whole thing, then lined both up, one under the other. Removed the boxes, attached the text boxes, then put the cards on the mat and printed. They still print in top left. Any ideas on what i need to do to fix this? Thank you.🙋‍♀️

@DIYAlex 2 года назад

You’re need to move them in the prepare screen (after you click Make It)

@patriciashaver489 2 года назад

When making envelopes you don't have to move them in the prepare window. Is it because there is text (the return address) in the upper left corner?

I would put a box in the corner where a return address would go, and then remove the blade so the Cricut will think it’s “cutting” but nothing will happen ☺️
