How to Use Printable Card PDF Designs

My printable card PDF designs are really easy to use...

• Just print at home
• Cut around the template with craft scissors, a craft knife, or a paper trimmer
• Fold the card down the centre
• If you want to use the envelope template, fold along each of the dotted lines and then you will also need a little bit of paper glue to glue the envelope together

Then your card is ready to send! Easy!

How do I download the files from your webstore?

• If you've purchased files via my webstore, the files will be delivered via Lemon Squeezy. Lemon Squeezy is the company who deal with all the e-commerce processes for the Lotti Brown Designs webstore and are responsible for taking your payment and delivering you your files. 

• You will receive an email from 'from 'LottiBrownDesigns via Lemon Squeezy' which will contain your receipt and files. Please allow a few minutes for the email to arrive. If you don't see the email, please check your spam messages folder in case your email has made its way there by mistake. If any issues arise, you can use the contact form here to contact me, letting me know full details of your order.

• You will also be able to use the 'View Order' button on the order confirmation page directly after making your purchase to view your order and access your files.

Please remember that due to the digital nature of the product, once you download your digital files, no refund can be given.

How do I download the files from Etsy?

• If you've purchased files via my ETSY store, the files will be available to download through the Etsy programme as soon as your payment has finished processing, usually within a couple of minutes.

• Please note that you will need to download your files via a web browser (on your computer or mobile/cell phone) and not via the Etsy app which, unfortunately, does not currently support digital downloading.

• The link to download the files will be in your confirmation email from Etsy. If you have an Etsy account, you will also be able access your download from ‘Your account’ (top right). Look for ‘Purchases and Reviews’ and then look for your purchase. Alongside the purchase on the far right, you will see a link to download the files again.

• If your purchase is missing from your account, you may have purchased under a different account, or as a guest. Here is a useful article from Etsy which shows you how to tell if you you purchased as a guest or with a different email address, and how to claim a guest order to add it to your account - find out here...

Please remember that due to the digital nature of the product, once you download your digital files, no refund can be given.

Downloading the .zip files

• The files are provided as .zip files. This is a ‘zipped up’ folder that contains all the files within the folder. So that you just need to make one download to your computer and you can keep all the files together easily.

• When you download your files, make sure that you save them to a folder that you can easily remember and locate on your computer.

How do I unzip the files?

To be able to use your files, you will need to unzip them. Most computers will have unzipping software already built in such as WinZip or WinRar. There are also free unzipping programmes that you can access such as PeaZip or 7-zip.

In most cases, right clicking on your zipped folder will access a menu of options. Choose ‘Extract all’ and select where to save your files to. Then just ‘Extract’ and your files will be ready to use.

How do I print the files?

To help get the best results for your printable card PDFs, the following tips may help:

• Print to 100% or to 'Actual Size'
• Use 'Borderless Print' if your printer has this option
• Print at 'Best Quality' or 'High Quality' setting on your printer
• Use a high quality cardstock to print onto

Please note that colours may vary according to your own computer screen, your printer and ink settings, and which card or paper you print onto.

How do I make the envelope?

• Simply cut around the template
• Fold along each of the fold lines - using a metal rule to fold against can help get a straight edge
• Add a thin strip of glue along the two side edges of the largest flap
• Then glue down onto the two thin side flaps
• When you're ready to send the card, just add a bit more glue or some double-sided tape to seal the envelope

Can I use the files commercially?

My printable card PDF files are for your own personal use only and are not to be used commercially. Please note that this is different for my SVG cut files which are available for limited commercial use. Please check out my licensing page for all my terms of use.
