A few Christmas folds

Here are a few Christmas book folding templates I have been playing around with.  The trees are simple, and could be tarted up with decorations – oooh, I wonder if you could add those tiny battery-operated LED lights to the fold somehow?  Hummmm…

The reindeer are maybe a little more tricky, maybe better for cut&folds.  But either way, if you do make one, send along a photo so I can see and if the photo is clear and in focus I might share it here. I never have time to fold all the designs so it is nice for people to see they work and what the end result looks like!

Grab that PDF here.

And just a reminder of a more challenging one:

and the design folded by Melanie.

You can find some other Christmas folds, including Rudolph, here.

Book folding templates for a Friend

I have had many requests over the years for book folding templates that say Friend.  I thought as I was making one anyway, I would pick three nice fonts and make it available to all. So here you go!

 

Here is the PDF to download

A word about the last one in particular.    I tried to fatten up the thinish font a bit by adding an outline. I have created and printed many templates this way and they always look weird on the screen, but trust me.  Overlapping areas of the letters show quite clearly on screen but, at least on MY printer, they do NOT show when printed.  If they do on yours, try draft mode or a lower quality print.

Have fun!

One more blank 2018 Calendar, 3 sizes

Another request, from Margaret who quite likes Kravitz Extra Thermal as a font choice.

Here is the CD sized, 2 a page version:

Here is the smaller sized, 4 a page version (about 3 inches wide by 3 1/4 inches tall:

Here is the very small, 8 a page version – although there IS a box around each month, when I print them on my printer, the box doesn’t show up.  That could be a good thing, if you want some flexibility in what size you cut them. You can cut them with quite a long top area for decorating, up to 3 1/2 inches for the whole block.  Unless your printer prints the lines….:

Have fun – hopefully in time for creating gifts! And if you do, I’d sure love to see a photo! My email is in the About Me tab at the top!

2018 DIY calendars (Decorate it yourself)

By request, I have a couple of 2018 calendars that you can decorate yourself.

First, here is a CD calendar sized one:

Download that here.

And the other is the smaller PL size cards:

And you can download that one here.

Hopefully this will give you a chance to get started on some Christmas gifts! Thanks, Kristi, for the nudge.  {wink}

Just a few Xmas tags for 2017

I tend to design things I need then share.  Here is a sheet of Xmas tags for you.  Hopefully you will find them useful!

You can download them here.

There are a few different styles so hopefully one of them will appeal! If not, I do have a ton of Xmas stuff in the menu under Freebies & Project Life Printables at the top.  Lots of tags there – here are a few (links to all, and more, in the menu link):

There are also some ornaments, a few cards, and more.

And although I showed this as a holder for swapping ATCs, I think it words perfectly as a gift card holder.  You can find the post on Twisted Cards here and here. You can see in the second link how to adjust the folding to accommodate a sideways card, which would pretty much equal a gift card.
