Quick Printing Tips

DIY PRINTABLE TECHNIQUES: All of my items are formatted to print on 8.5"x11" paper not individual labels or sheets. 
INVITATIONS: We offer 4x6 or 5x7 invitations.  You can print them at home or you can upload them to a photo lab to have them printed.  Please keep in mind that each printing place prints differently.  Some may be darker or lighter than the original file. 
BOTTLE LABELS
:
Print out on 8.5"x11" cardstock, photo paper FULL sticker sheets or regular copy paper.  Then cut out using scissors or a paper trimmer. Apply a small amount of adhesive at the end of each label to secure it to your labels.
CUPCAKE TOPPERS
:
Print out on 8.5"x11" cardstock.  Then using a 2 inch circle punch or 2 inch scallop circle punch; punch out each circle.  Use 4 inch lollipop sticks and apply a small amount of Elmer's Glue All to the top of the sticks and carefully place your circle topper on the stick.  Allow to dry 10 minutes before moving. You can also cut these out as squares for a unique look.
GIFT TAGS:
Print out on 8.5"x11" cardstock.  Then using a whatever size circle punch or  scallop circle punch your ordered; punch out each circle. (If you ordered a 2 inch tag use a 2 inch punch.  If you ordered a 3 inch tag use a 3 inch punch.)  Use a small hole punch to put in the top for your ribbon.  You can also leave tag as a square for a different look.

WELCOME SIGNS: Print out on 8.5"x11" cardstock.  Cut out using paper trimmer or scissors. Punch holes in the top of the sign and use matching ribbon or tulle to hang.  You can also add cardstock to back the piece you just printed for more depth and texture. 
ALL BANNERS: Print out on 8.5"x11" cardstock.  Cut out using paper trimmer or scissors. Each square measures approximately 5"x5".  Punch holes in the top of the sign and use matching ribbon or tulle to connect letters/words.  You can also add cardstock to back the piece you just printed for more depth and texture.  Use longer ribbon or tulle at each end to hang. 
BAG TOPPERS: Print out on 8.5"x11" cardstock. Cut out each item then fold in half.  Staple ends to the cello bags to seal.
BUBBLE LABELS: Print out on 8.5"x11" cardstock, photo paper or full sticker sheets.  Cut out using scissors or a paper trimmer.  These labels measure 6"x2.25" so be sure the bubbles you purchase are the same size.  (These do fit 4oz labels however there are several on the market with different size labels.)  
CENTERPIECE: Print out on 8.5"x11 cardstock. Using a circle cutter cut out the circle. (Measures approximately 8 inches)  Cut out a slightly larger circle out of solid cardstock and glue together.  Use a large 12" lollipop stick and glue to the back.  Allow to dry 10 minutes.  Add ribbon or tulle.

Most of these items look really great when you add solid color cardstock to the back of them.  Just make them slightly larger then the size you are cutting.  For example the centerpiece file I email you is approximately 8 inches in diameter.  So cut it out and then cut out a larger circle like 8.5 inches or 9 inches and adhere it to the back of the item I emailed.  This gives it a really pretty look.  You can add ribbon and tulle to spice it up.
