Xmas Card & Envelope

[v_kyr]

In order to get ready and prepared for Xmas, I share this time one of my XMas card & envelope vector designs for the Affinity forum community.

• The Xmas envelope which already contains a mounted in Xmas card design looks like this ...

• The Xmas card design used looks like this ...

You can of course customize these to your own individual needs. You will find a bunch of Xmas related assets to place onto Xmas cards and the envelope for example under some of my other resources contributions, see therefor:

• Retrospective of resources contributions

 

Here are the Affinity Designer related files for download (which can also be (re)used in the other Affinity apps):

• xmas_envelope_card_merry_christmas.afdesign
• xmas_greeting_card.afdesign

 

Have a good time over Xmas!

Hi

Thank you for posting the link to this thread in the following thread.

https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/154579-christmas-cards-2021/

I have been trying to make an image by making an SVG file, without converting text to curves, of my card in the above thread, exporting the svg file from an .afdesign file, not from the png file that is in the forum post, then placing it in a copy of your file that has the card coming out of the envelope.

I then made my card the same width as your card, with the aspect ratio locked when I resized it. I moved it to the same (x, y) as your card and rotated by -12 degrees and it lay over your card. So far, good.

However, part of the wording was inside the envelope, so I moved the card out of the envelope so that all the wordimg became visible. So far, good, but!

The "but" is that the top of the card was now higher than the background.

I have tried to stretch the background, change the setup size of the document, but I am stuck at present.

I am still trying to work out how to do it.

Please find the svg file attached.

The font is available from the following link.

It is alright to use it as I made the font myself and any rights in it that exist belong to me.

@v_kyr:

I found your card very inspiring and have tried to "recreate" it. This was my first time with Affinity Designer, so don't hit me too hard ....
