This month on the Petit a Petit Family blog I contributed a quick post with a clean graphic art printable – kiddo and wanted to let you know! It was inspired by Celina’s kiddo in my room pinterest board and Toya’s room decoration.
The cool part is that the text is customizable. It’s a PDF with editable form field, so you can type in whatever you would like before printing it out. Or even just delete the text and print it out without words. I’m definitely wanting to experiment more with including customizable printable PDFs!

I’m not sure what it is, but everyone seems to love the look and feel of vintage maps. I’m definitely no exception and one day would love to have a variety of vintage maps framed in my house. Besides the fun of learning a bit of geography when we look at maps, it’s also fun to discover what has changed since the map had been created. There are so many party games that can come out of having a few maps on your wall too! Anyway, I thought it would be cool to use a vintage world map as part of an airmail design that you can print and fold to become a postcard. I found this cool map that has different routes drawn out – like you are sending your postcard across the world.
I realize that a postcard needs to be of a certain thickness, so make sure you print this on thick cardstock that can be sent by post. Otherwise, you can even wrap this around an existing postcard to be sure it is sendable. Just download the file below in the paper format your prefer.

I would love to know what you think about printable postcard designs. Is it feasible for actual snail mail? Or will you use the design inside other packages? To decorate your planners, pocket letters and other correspondence? As always, would love to hear any design requests you might have as well.

Nothing like a manly woodgrain patterned stationery set for your next round of correspondence! I thought it was about time I shared a free printable again and decided to go with an everyday design that anyone can use.
I recently made a trip to the post office and realized that international postage has increased here in Italy. It was a bummer, but then I realized that the cost enables me to send a letter across the globe. Many miles of transportation, so of course there is a cost! When my recipient gets my handwritten snail mail, I know they will appreciate it, so it’s totally worth it. Even an everyday message of hello can really brighten up someone’s day. Letters create connection that no email, text message or even video message can do. It’s just not the same.
So please enjoy the set of woodgrain stationery below, provided in both LETTER and A4 paper sizes. The PDF contains the envelope template, a page of lined stationery and a page of blank stationery. You can download and use whichever combination is to your liking and even share with friends. What if you created a gift set of stationery for your pen pal?

Today I wanted to revive a printable I created years ago when experimenting with traditional mediums. I work primarily in a digital format but ideas always start as pencil and paper sketches. Sometimes I just stick with a traditional medium, like watercolor because it has such a unique look.
I have pretty shaky hands, so it’s a challenge to watercolor and by no means do I really know my stuff! But its fun to create anyway and wanted to share my early girl illustrations with you below.

It’s hard to believe that summer is nearly coming to an end for many of us – yikes! I’ve been cleaning up my blog posts (slowly, but surely) and also finding my retired digital products here and there – so I thought why not share them as freebies on the blog, right?
My summertime printable embellishments are great for decorating snail mail, penpal letters, art journals and scrapbooks. I originally used them in my own scrapbook page of my little boy when he was only 5 months old.
Just download the free printable PDF in your preferred paper size and print away. There’s a variety of designs, tags and decorations to choose from with happy, summertime sayings.
I think that printable graphics are versatile and a great way to add little bits of pretty paper to all your crafty projects. Mini embellishments are always a great addition, whether in your next outgoing mail stack or your planner spread. Enjoy!
