HIS 'N HERS PRINTABLE CALENDER

I love simple yet brilliant ideas that take everyday items and make them work even better for us. This his 'n hers calendar for October from Simple Blueprint is one of those simple, ingenious ideas that just make me think - 'Why didn't i think of that'?!

This printable calender has the dates down the middle instead of being aligned to the left leaving a space either side for you and your partner to mark important dates. Isn't that a great idea?

Let me know what you think and leave a comment below. I know I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for more his 'n hers calendars over the coming months.

Psst! Joanna also has a desktop calender and 2 A5 size designs to download if you want one all to yourself ;)

FREE SUSYJACK* PRINTABLE THANK YOU CARD

Hello, lots of work commitments have meant my poor little blog has been a little neglected this month...sorry! I have been itching to get back to my blog schedule and finally here I am so lets get back to business...

I am a big fan of SusyJacks* clean, bright, contemporary prints so I was really excited when I found this little freebie on the HeySusy* blog. As so many of you liked the SusyJack* day of the week pegs I featured a few weeks ago I am sure you are going to love this printable card. I'm really excited to share this with you, isn't the orange and pink colour combo fantastic?

I think there is nothing better than getting a little thank you note so get printing and show your appreciation next time someone does something nice for you.

MR & MRS BYRD PRINTABLE INVITATIONS FROM JINJERUP

I received a lovely email this afternoon from Lynn over at Jinjerup telling me all about a new printable invite she had designed. I knew I was going to love it before I'd even opened the attachment. I was sold on the description alone:

"Its a cute invite card going by the name of "Mr & Mrs Byrd Invitation Cards" featuring a pair of little birds, dressed to the nines."

Yes that's right, today's printable features birds dressed up to the nines! What more could you want....

Mr & Mrs Byrd Invitation Cards

Quickly pop over to Jinjerup now where you can download the Mr & Mrs Byrd invites and follow the super easy step-by-step picture tutorial Lynn has put together for you over there.

You will need...

1. Paper (of a preferably thicker stock)
2. Printer
3. Scissors
4. Box cutter (blade)
5. Single hole punch (Optional)
6. Thin ribbon (Optional)

What to do...

1. Download and print the cards.

2. Take note of the 2 different type of crop marks. The dotted line crop marks (boxed in yellow) are folding lines. The normal crop marks (boxed in pink) are cutting lines.

3. Locate the 8 dotted line crop marks then score them across from one end to the other with the back of your box cutter. You would have scored 4 lines, this helps ensuring smoother folding lines later.

4. Cut out the invite card along its normal crop marks.

5. Fold along the scored lines as pictured here and press the folds together.

6. Repeat the same folding and pressing actions for the other side of the invitation card.

At this stage your card should look like this.

7. Write you message and send to your friends!

These are the basic instructions for making up your invites but Lynn has two more crafty ideas if you want to make them even fancier! Click here if you want to find out what to do with your ribbon and hole punch...

Although these were designed as invites initially I think they would be perfect for writing little notes to slip in your loved ones pocket. They are just so sweet. Id love to know what you plan to use these for too so leave me a little comment below.

Thanks Lynn for sharing such an adorable printable with us!

FUN BACK TO SCHOOL PRINTABLES

s the new school year is starting I thought it might be nice to share a few printables that the kids will enjoy. Even if you don't have any little people at home I have a feeling you're going to like this round up ;)

First up, from Jinjerup we have some chick bookmarks in the most beautiful choice of colours. If you hunt around Jinjerups blog you will find some fun fruit characters that have been turned into bookmarks too...

I'm sure your little dudes will think these super cool stickers from The Bruhn Family are out of this world. Wouldn't they be great for decorating note books and lunch bags? If Space isn't your thing you will find some really, really cute animals that Lotta Bruhn has available to download too.
Label new books with these book plates from Martha Stewart and print some for yourself while your at it!

'SPEND IT ON SOMETHING COOL' MINI PRINTABLE ENVELOPE

eenage boys are probably the hardest to buy for when it comes to birthdays so sending a gift card or some money can be a simple solution. At least you know they can put the money to something they really want, right?

I still think its nice to show you put a little more thought in than shoving a tenner in a birthday card though so I created this little money/gift card envelope for you to fill for the boys in your life. I really hope you like it!



Click here to download the PDF and instructions for your mini envelope.














psst! check back here or subscribe as I will be posting some co-ordinating stickers to seal your envelopes with very soon ;)

PRINT YOUR OWN DECORATIVE TAPE

I'm taking part in the Lovely Package Exchange on Oh, hello friend and have been working on my gifts and wrapping this weekend.

I love all the pretty Japanese tapes on Etsy but being the unorganised person I am, it's sadly too late to buy some for the Exchange. Not all is lost though! I put my crafty thinking cap on and came up with a way around the problem...

...Voila! I made my own...okay, okay so its not quite the same because you have to use a glue stick but it looks great, I promise.

I knew someone out there would find this useful too, so as I'm a caring and sharing kinda gal I've uploaded two styles for you here to print, cut and stick for your own packages :)


I'm slow to get the hang of this photography lark, (even with the natural light on my side!) so my pictures sadly don't really do this little project justice.

You should definitely give this ago next time you want something pretty to seal a card or a gift, it really can look beautiful.

What you need...

1. Tracing Paper
2. Printer
3. Adobe Reader (click here to get it free)
4. Craft Knife/Scissors
5. Ruler
6. Glue Stick/Spray Mount

Ready to start? Download the tape and instructions by clicking here...

MINI-FILE FOLDER DOWNLOAD

hitney from Whisker Graphics posted a really handy mini-file download for her blog readers which I think you'll enjoy just as much as I do.


The mini-files are really useful for organising all manner of paper bits and you can print as many as you need to file away stamps, coupons, printables, recipe cards, receipts, travel documents...anything that can go in a 4.75" x 7" file!

I like to cut out all the printable mailing labels, stickers and note cards I've collected and group them in these files so my stationary box stays relatively organised.

You can click here to get the download and say a big thank you to Whitney!

Tip: Why not use the mini-file as a template to make files from different cards and papers you have left over from other projects?






Psst! You can also find Whisker Graphics on Etsy ;)

WONDERFUL WEBSITES - FREE PRINTABLE LINK LIST'S

s we have a bit of an organisation theme to the posts this week I thought we could get our notes in order with my Wonderful Websites printable, which you can use to scribble down all your web addresses in one place!


I am sure I am not alone when I say my Favourites list of bookmarks on my PC is crying out for a reorganisation but it's a beast I'm just not ready to tackle...I don't think i'd know where to start!

So I could find important web addresses I created these link list's to note down any sites that I specifically wanted to come back to. I am telling you, these have saved me so much time and it is nice not to have to flick through my note book a zillion times looking for an addresses I know I wrote down!

I figured that if I were finding these lists useful that all my lovely new blog buddies might too. If you would like to print your own click here to download the PDF :)






tip: cut out a 14.5 x 22cm piece of card stock to make a little clipboard and keep your lists handy by attaching them to it with a cute bulldog clip or peg.

BOOK PLATES

recently joined Read It Swap It which is a fantastic site that connects you with like minded people to swap your old books with!

I love getting unexpected treats and thought it would be nice to send these gorgeous book plates from Baca Creative with my swaps as a little thank you to my swap buddy!

They are perfect as a little accompaniment if you give someone a books as a gift or for labeling your own book collection so I am really happy that I can share these with you here too.

Christa Baca has this and three other book plate designs available for you to download on her blog so hop on over to Baca Creative and print yours now. I like to use Spray Mount to affix the labels to the inside cover of my own books but you can use the adhesive of your choice.

Although I love the design above for gifts my personal favourite has to be this one.

I am always reluctant to lend my favourite books to friends in case I never get them back but hopefully these will put a stop to my books going walk-abouts and help me to be a little more sharing in future...I will keep you posted on whether it works!

Dont forget to say thanks to Christa and let her know how much you love these if you download them as I am sure she would love to hear from you.

AQUA & ORANGE MAILING LABELS & NOTE CARDS

he day I came across Ez's blog Creature Comforts was the day I realised that the most mundane of tasks could be greatly improved with a beautiful printable and that there were designers, bloggers, illustrators and hobbyists all over the bloggersphere sharing these thoughtful and beautifully designed printable files.

As the first printable file I ever used was the Aqua and Orange Mailing Label from Creature Comforts I thought it was fitting that it should be the first printable file that I share with you here on Make, Do & Send.


All you have to do is click here to download and print the PDF Ez has kindly put together for you all. I keep a stash of these in an envelope on my desk so they are always to hand.

As this is my first post on Make, Do & Send I wanted to add a little extra treat from me to you. Below you will find a little printable note card inspired by Ez's mailing labels for you to enjoy too!
