Below is a photo of my inspiration from the Martha Stewart website:
So let me share with you how I made our STD stickers.
1. Print out the labels on the round stickers and the card that goes with it. I had a trial-and-error print for the stickers. Couldn't find a printer template for a once-inch sticker that's 4 rows 3 columns. I used a template based on 5 rows and 4 columns and made some adjustments. It's a word document so it's pretty easy to edit. For the card, I used MS Publisher template for their 3x5 index card but made some adjustments as well. Note on the sticerks, I couldn't find colored stickers (like the one from Martha Stewart) so I opted for white ones. Well, actually there are colored ones but they are all neon. Blech! So I just made the fonts in our color motif.
2. Cut out the card and sticker. Use very sharp cutter for this. And then glue the the sticker to the card.
3. For the envelopes, I bought wonderful printed papers (used for scrapbooking) for the lining. I made a pattern based on the envelope and used it to trace the printed papers.
4. Cut the patterns and then paste it to the envelopes.
5. Voila, we have our STD stickers which are families and friends can use to label their calendars.
