Freebie :: Square Social Media Icons

 I had some time this weekend, so I put together an updated social media icon set, this time with a new square shape!

This set includes two new buttons, one for BlogLovin’ and one for Goodreads; I had requests for those over the last couple of months, so here you go! I also had a few requests for a black and white set, so each button comes in both color and black and white. Aaaand, for those who might not easily be able to change the sizes and want something smaller, each button has two size versions, too – the original size I made them at, 52 pixels square, and a new, smaller 32 pixels square.

Note: If 32 pixels is too small, use the larger size and adjust the width with a little HTML code when you install them on your site. Instructions to install or adjust the size are right here.

Terms of use are simple: Feel free to use these on any personal or commercial site you’ve got. All I ask is that you please don’t sell, redistribute, or claim these as your own work.

Happy Monday!

Freebie :: Holiday Gift Tags

Last year, I did the 12 Days of Digital Freebies, and it was super popular. I still get hits on those posts, which makes me happy. A whole lot of work went into it, so I like knowing that people are loving them and still downloading them.

I was hoping to do the same this year, but friends, I’m wiped. The ideas are there, but the energy is not; at least not for all 12 days. I don’t think people realize how labor intensive freebies can be! This year and the last two months have been so crazy busy, that I just want to sleep (and play on Instagram). But I can’t not do a little something, either – I do so love a good freebie!

So, instead of 12 days, I’ll be sharing what I can when I can, from now till Christmas, starting with these printable holiday gift tags.

I’ve been seeing a lot of white-washed/light colored wood and dark berry red everywhere – in stores, in catalogs, and on Pinterest – so that’s my inspiration here! I opted for little designs instead of words, but included blanks, too, in case you’d like to stamp your own message in or you’re not a fan of red. I’m also loving alternate shapes, like hexagons and triangles, but included circles and rectangles for the traditionalists.

The tags come in a downloadable PDF for easy printing at home. Print your favorite pages onto white cardstock for a sturdier tag, or on full sheet labels (a.k.a. sticker paper). Then cut, punch out the hole, and tie it (or stick it) to your gift! Done. Click here to download the PDF.

This freebie is for personal use only. Have fun!

Freebie :: Printable Birthday Cards

I was feeling inspired this past weekend by birthdays and cards (thanks for all of the birthday wishes over the last few days!). So, I sat down and started doodling, and thought, why not make turn a doodle into a sweet little birthday card? So I did.

Who doesn’t need a birthday card at the ready?

This birthday card features a sweet little scalloped banner in two different color combos on the front, is blank on the inside for your own message, and measures 4.25 inches wide by 5.5 inches high when folded (it’s a standard A2 size). There are two little matching gift tags, too, one blank and one printed with “To” and “From” on the front.

Since this is a digital PDF file, all you have to do is download and print it off onto sturdy white cardstock. Cut just inside the dotted line, fold at the arrows, and viola! Grab an envelope at your local office supply or craft store and you’ve got an instant birthday card.

This freebie is for personal, non-commercial use only. I’d love it if you want to share it with friends, but please direct them back here to the post instead of directly linking to the file.

P.S. Colors can vary from monitor to monitor, as well as from printer to printer, so I’d do a test print on regular computer paper first.

Freebie :: Pointed Sidebar Buttons

I think I’m maybe on a button kick – can’t seem to get enough of them lately. So, I worked up a set of pointed sidebar buttons in a four different colors, just for you.

They measure 200 pixels wide by 30 pixels high, come in a transparent PNG format, and can be easily resized in a photo editing program like Photoshop, Elements, or Picasa. Each of the four colors has a full set of buttons; not all are shown above.

You can download the zip file right here.

And if you want a set in a specific color, email me – I’ve got a little time over the next few days to whip a few. Sets will be $5 each and doesn’t include a font change or additional buttons.
