Tangerine Free Summer Printables
I thought I’d try a new pop of color in the kitchen this summer and decided to go with orange. It’s not a color that I’ve used before, but I found these cute faux tangerine branches at Target, so orange it was!
Since I didn’t have anything else orange, I used some oranges for decor and created some tangerine art to go with them. I ended up creating a few different versions as I can never decide on one!
It’s always fun trying a new color for your decor and they do say that orange is the happiest color. 🙂
Tips for Decorating with Printables
Printables can be used for so much more than just putting them in a frame. Here are a few of my favorite ways to use them…
- add them to a clipboard
- use them for a card – Just fold some cardstock in half to form a card and glue the printable to the front.
- use them as place settings – print out 2×3 or 3.5×5 and place over a napkin or place setting
- make them into tags
- make a framed canvas
- transfer them onto wood
- create a chalkboard transfer
Tips for Printing Your Artwork
Whenever I post a new printable, I usually get at least a couple of emails about how to print them. I thought I would answer some of the most common questions here to help you out. If you have any other ones, just let me know!
HOW DO I DOWNLOAD THE PRINTABLES?
To download the printable of your choice, you just need to click on the link and then download the print to your computer. I have all of my printables in Google Drive so if you’re having troubles, try using Google Chrome for your browser. It seems to do the trick! If you’re not printing it right away, be sure to save it somewhere that you can find it again. Having a specific folder specifically for printables works great to keep things organized and you can always find it in subsequent years if you want to print it again.
{NOTE: Google has updated the security settings on Google Chrome so you may occasionally get a notice that you do not have access to a printable. Just email me if this is the case and I will update it.}
WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO PRINT OUT THE PRINTABLES?
Once you’ve downloaded the printable to your computer, you can choose to either print it at home or send it out to a local or online print shop {Stapes, Costco, London Drugs, Walgreens, etc.}. If you choose to print at home, you can use either a laser or an ink jet printer. The ink jet printers do seem to run through the ink faster than laser printers, so if you’ll be printing a lot, a laser printer may be your best option.
If you’re going to be printing something larger than an 8.5×11 {or just don’t want to use up your ink!} you will need to send it out to a printer. I like to mark to NOT adjust the colors as I’ve had some funky colors come back when I don’t do this. Make sure you’ve chosen the correct size for formatting so nothing gets cut off! {see below}
WHY ISN’T THE PRINTABLE PRINTING AT THE RIGHT SIZE?
I often have multiple formatting sizes available for each print {i.e. 4×6, 5×7, etc.}. This just indicates that the ratio of the height and width of the print is compatible with that printing size so nothing will be cut off when you go to print it. Most home printers, however, will still print it out to fit a standard 8.5×11 piece of paper unless you change the settings on your printer. All printers are a bit different on this so I can’t speak to individual printers, but on our printer, we can change the photo size that we want printed and I just make sure to do this before printing if I’m wanting something other than a 8.5×11. If you’re trying to print something smaller that just comes in a 8×10 or 8.5×11 size, you can still print it out smaller. You may just need to click on the “fit to page” setting so nothing gets cropped off.
