Altogether Christmas Printables Help and Instructions

Printing Instructions

All of our printables at AltogetherChristmas.com are available as PDF (portable document format) files. A well made PDF file will look the same on all computers regardless of operating system, fonts or browser, making PDF files most useful for documents intended for printing. Viewing and printing PDF files requires Adobe Acrobat Reader which may be obtained free by visiting the Adobe Website.

If you plan on using a number of our printable Christmas items, an affordable paper cutter from an office supply or craft store is sure to come in handy. Please read below for instructions on our printable Christmas items.

Christmas Cards

For best results when printing our Victorian and Photo Christmas cards, make sure your printer's margins are set to 0.5 for top, bottom, left and right. This will allow you to print 2 cards per page on 8½ x 11 inch paper. After printing, cut the sheet in half, fold each card in half and use standard invitation envelopes (4 3/8 x 5 3/4 inches) for mailing. Use cardstock or index paper and select high quality printing in your printer's set up options. Once printed, cards can be further embellished by adding glitter, lace, ribbon or other craft accents.

Christmas Gift Tags & Gift Certificates

Christmas Wrapping Paper

Our printable Christmas gift wrap is designed to be attractive while using a minimum of printer ink. Set printer margins to their minimum and print on standard printer paper.

Christmas Coloring Pages

Use standard printing paper for crayons and card stock or index paper for markers or paint. Standard print quality should suffice and select gray scale in your printer's set up options.
