US Letter is the paper size in the US and Canada; A4 is used in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and most other countries.

How to make them

  1. Print at 100% (actual size) on card stock or plain paper. Use sticker paper for the labels if you have it.
  2. Cut along the dashed lines.
  3. Write each card for the moment on its label. Use the idea at the top to get started, then make it yours.
  4. Put each card in an envelope, seal it, and stick the matching label on the front.
  5. Number them if they should be opened in order, then keep the set together in a box or tied with ribbon.
