What are Christmas printables?
Printables are digital downloads and include things like patterned papers, characters, artwork, journaling resources, party invitations and even ready-made cards.
Printables are a great way to boost your stash at a fraction of the price. They are usually delivered in a JPG, PDF or PNG file format, depending on the product, and you need to have access to a printer in order to print them out.
Printables are great. You save them to your computer, then print them out as and when you need them.
Patterned papers s are ideal for card making, scrapbooking and other papercrafts, while colouring pages are a satisfying way to while away an afternoon or to keep the kids amused.
