ENVELOPES & LINERS

Because tearing into something beautiful should feel criminal.

Bright custom envelope liner featuring a colorful NYC skyline illustration with coordinating stationery elements, designed by Kristin Simmons.

Most people treat envelopes like an afterthought. I treat them like the first act of your brand story—or your wedding drama, your gala RSVP, or whatever wildly specific aesthetic crisis you’re mailing to someone’s doorstep.

Whether it's hand-painted envelope art, calligraphy addressing, or custom envelope liners that slap, this is about making your paper goods unapologetically stunning from the outside in.

Want floral liners with gold foil? Done. Need 100 envelopes with each name lettered by hand in six different scripts? I both admire and fear you—but also yes. From luxury wedding invitations to brand mailers, I help your envelopes arrive looking more expensive than they legally should.

FAQs

Yes! I create custom digital or hand-painted envelope liners for weddings, events, and branded mail—no sad templates, just beautifully weird visual storytelling.
Both! Whether you want classic calligraphy, bold brush lettering, or something completely unhinged (in a good way), I offer a range of hand and digital styles.
Great! I love collaborating. I’ll design or style the outer package—liner, envelope, addressing—to complement what you already have without stepping on anyone’s pixels.
Ideally 2–3 months before you need things in the mail, especially if hand-painted elements or custom printing is involved. Last minute? I can hustle (but be nice).
