St. Paddy's Day :: Hat Freebie!

It's almost here! Are you celebrating on Sunday? No matter if you are watching the New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade, having green beers with friends or making Irish Soda Bread at home, I have a freebie today that will make you click your heels together - Leprechaun hats!

That's it there in the picture above. Here's what you do:

1. Download it from my Public Dropbox folder. 
2. Print on card stock. 
3. Cut the hat out. 
4. Page 2 has a few bands you should also cut out, tap to the hat & size to your head. You'll also find free printable stickers in the Dropbox if those are more your speed.

Wear it with pride! And send pictures! Tweet @kmbatty (same for Instagram)!

St. Paddy's Day :: Freebie stickers

Nothing green in your closet?? Not everyone plans their St. Patrick's Day outfit as far in advance as I do. It's cool.

I put a sheet of stickers for you in my Public Dropbox folder. Download it here! And in case you need some motivation, here's a little song to get you going...

Valentine's Day is coming...

Seriously, I cannot believe we're talking about Valentine's Day already. I JUST put away the Christmas ornaments.

To get you in the mood, I want to share these FREE iPhone wallpapers from Living Locurto. Amy comes up with all kinds of great freebies & party ideas, PLUS for any of my fellow shutterbugs out there, she writes a fabulous photography blog - I Heart Faces.

Enjoy!

Blowin' up the NewNew Blog

{Easter freebie over at the NewNew Blog}

Happy Friday! Once again, I've got a special post over at the NewNew Blog. Fellow teammate Simone from Etsy shop Groundsel has started a new series offering free printables from NewNew members. I got to go first with this Happy Easter banner.

Go check it out! If you email pictures to me of how you use it, or tips on how you hung it, I'll post them here on my blog. Happy Weekend!

Valentine Freebie!

Forget to buy your sweetie a card?? Download my FREE Valentine's Day card! Then, follow the instructions on the bottom to print it to get yourself out of the dog house before it's too late!

{Right click the image above & save it to your desk top}

To deliver the card, I found a great envelope template here that you just print & cut out. Fold it on the inner black lines. I tried it & folded the flaps over the guidelines so that they don't show. Have a little extra time? Print the envelope on colored paper!

Good luck! Let me know how it goes...And Happy Valentine's Day!

Boo!! A Halloween Photo Card Freebie

HAPPY (almost) HALLOWEEN!! To celebrate, I'm offering you, my blog readers, some freebie fun - a 5 x 7 Halloween photo card template in an original design by moi. The only stipulation to use this is that you need Photoshop or Photoshop Elements to put a picture in the template. Here's how to use it:

1. Save the picture above to the location of choice on your computer - your desktop perhaps. Open it in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.

2. Open the photo you want to put in the card & drag that layer into the file containing the template. Make sure your photo layer is BEHIND the template. Adjust to fit.

3. Save for emailing or print them out for cards, to display on the fridge or to send to out. Your choice!

Enjoy! If you use it, I'd love to see your pictures it in. Feel free to email them to me! If it's ok with you, I'll share them here on the blog.

Anyone dressing up this weekend??

St. Patrick's Day - Get Your Green!

{image from Cafe Press}

I think of 2 things when it comes to St. Patrick's Day:

1. Where are we drinking...err...celebrating?
2. What am I wearing?

Question number 1 is almost as important as question number 2. I have several St. Paddy's Day stories about that. Picking your celebration spot is important but I will leave those tales to the foggy memories of the peeps that remember what I'm talking about...

This post is about question number 2. The answer to which remains unsought about by many, until the last minute. Or until they are viciously pinched by some St. Paddy's Day smarty pants.

I have a solution for you! Instead of swearing that you are wearing green underpants (which said smarty pants will ask you to prove) download the jpeg below. Print it on sticker paper or tape it to your person & tell that smarty pants what to do with his or her shamrocks.



What are you guys wearing this year? And how are you celebrating? Anyone going to Savannah, Boston or Dublin? Pub crawl? This year NYC is having it's 250th St. Patrick's Day parade. There will be plenty of "Erin Go Bragh" around the 5 boroughs tomorrow. Where ever you are, I hope the green beer & luck of the Irish are flowing!

Beannachtaí na Féile Páraic oraibh!
{Translation: St. Patrick's Day blessing upon you! More fun sayings here.}

PS I plan on making freebies a regular thing here on the blog, so check back often for the offerings. They will also live here on the K. Batty Design & Stationery website. Last year, I posted bookplates & have all kinds of printables planned for the coming months.
