A Thank You: Free Printable Summer Gift Wrapping Set

As a thank you to you all for coming by each day, I've made a printable summer gift wrap set free to download.  I found some beautiful vintage postcards and ephemera, and created three different gift wraps that sort of work together with a summer theme in mind.  I also included some gift tags to match. (Props: Crocheted rock and fabric pinecone by Margaret Oomen of Resurrection Fern). Here are the links:

Happy wrapping! And thank you for visiting!

Free Printable Download: Last Minute Tags & Gift Wrap!

Last year I made some downloadable printable holiday tags for those last minute gift wrappers that like me, forget tags or wrap! This year I'm doing it again, these one's inspired by Sweet Paul's Thanksgiving tags and wrap; and with the help of The Commons images over on flickr - I found some gems of the snow-capped mountains here in the Pacific N.W. to design a collage with. Click here to download/print the tags, and here for the wrap. I already wrapped one little gift with them, and tied it with some fluorescent yarn. Happy wrapping!

free download: giftwrap!

This week we’ve created three free wrapping papers for you (please excuse the somewhat dark and blurry photos). In celebration of summer and our upcoming market “Here Comes the Sun”, June 15 - Jul 10/09, we bring you summer -themed prints in a sunny mellow yellow. Choose from Garden Stepping Stones, Here Comes the Sun and Sunrise. Print, wrap and stack!

Happy Monday everyone! It's a holiday here in most parts of Canada (Victoria Day) - and we 're excited to share some first-ever Poppytalk wallpapers (just for fun)! We've been needing a little inspiration lately, and so we’ve created a few wallpapers with inspiration in mind. A couple with inspirational quotes, and a couple, well, just cake by itself we think should do the trick, and maybe a dip in a pool? All photo’s taken by me. Click here to find the complete set on flickr. In case you were wondering, the cake image is from Front, a store here in Vancouver that had this awesome window display a few years back (2005) - see original post about it here; and the bridge photo is of the Burrard Bridge taken from a highrise on Beach Avenue years ago with a very cheap camera. Noteworthy: The inspiratonal quote pieces were inspired by MSU student, Claire Gipson - see our post about her here.

free downloadable stickers & earth hour!

Not to forget about Earth Hour Saturday evening! Click here to vote earth by turning off your lights for one hour - earth hour!

With earth love comes recycling and organization, and this week we lend you a helping hand - well, actually stickers, really - to help you organize your recycling materials. Since we are always confusing our own bins, we thought perhaps we weren’t alone in this department and fashioned these with the idea that they might help out. Download, print and stick them to the side/or top of your bins for easy reference. Click here (paper and glass) and here (newspaper and metal) to download.

new free download

This week’s download is a real tag we scanned in (to give it that realistic look), duplicated and then numbered using Modern No. 20 font (a favorite of ours). We hope you’ll enjoy them, as much as we are, as we tag everything in sight. Like coffee tins, water vessels, gifts and such. Click here to see. Print on heavier card stock paper, cut and then use a string to tie and attach.

free downloadable labels!

We know we’re a little label happy these days but really one cannot have enough of them we think. And what a cheap and easy way to spruce up some things.

So we bring to you our latest. Stick them on your favorite jam jar, file folder, notebook or envelope. Click here to download.
