WHAT ARE PRINTABLES?
A printable is a digital file of a graphic design that is meant to be printed on paper. My printables are custom designed to usually coordinate with a specific collection. Most printable PARTY COLLECTIONS include approximately 8 to 25 items, for example a pennant banner, welcome sign, cake topper, mini flags, place cards, fancy labels, favor tags, circle tags and patterned sheets. Invitations and thank you cards are sold separately. Every printable is formatted to print on an 8.5 inch by 11 inch standard sized sheet of paper and plain white card stock is recommended. Custom text personalization is included for invitations, pennant banners and party circles ONLY. Any other text, graphic or color customizations are available for an additional cost. Printable designs are cost-effective, quickly prepared, easily assembled and will add a BURST of FLAVOR!
WHY ARE PRINTABLES A BETTER OPTION?
• Eco-friendly = less waste and minimal ecological footprint
• Unique = one-of-a-kind options instead of mass produced or generic paper goods
• Personalized = ability to make someone feel special
• DIY = gratification of doing it yourself and putting in the extra effort
