Free stationery and other printables

Don’t tell the people in charge of the economy this, but it’s a wonder that I spend any money in stores anymore. Especially craft stores. We can make and do so much with what we already own! Plus, there’s so much good stuff you can download off the Internet and print at home for free.

Not sure where to look? Let me make things easy for you. Below are links to some free online printables. I’ll keep gathering more links, now and then posting several at a time, and then eventually will put them all together in one post. There are just too many to do it all in one day.

Note: It’s really fantastic that creative people around the world share their projects and talent with the rest of us. Please don’t take advantage of their generosity. These projects are for personal use: write a card to your mom, give a gift to a friend, jot down some recipes. But please don’t reproduce these items for sale. Thanks.

1. Floral notecards, butterfly bookplates, mailing labels and more really beautiful stuff from The Blah Blah Blahg. I especially love these French library check-out cards .

2. Time for tea soap and tags from Cucumbersome. Who wouldn’t love that as a gift?

3. Here’s another printable library card , this time from Creature Comforts. Don’t miss her many other free printables , including her recipe cards and her apple notecards , which are a perfect way to send a love note to your child on the first day of school or to your teacher spouse (hey! I have one of those!)

4. Floral summer gift tags that will make you smile from Eat Drink Chic (see photo above). And give yourself an hour to look through her other tutorials and freebies .

5. A cute-as-a- button notecard from Bread of Many.

6. Tons and tons of free printables from Martha Stewart , so you can do everything from converting quarts into pints to making napkin rings for a picnic .
