Christmas, ready to color
Monochrome Christmas and Christmas Comfort as printable PDFs, or both together as the Christmas Duo.
What is Monochrome?
Fill the gray. Every shape to fill is printed in one light, even gray. There are no X marks, dots or numbers to cover.
One marker, any color. Use one marker for each design, in any color you like, even classic black.
Try it first. Nine test patches on the How it works page let you try your marker before you start.
Under a translucent marker the gray reads as gentle shading. Medium and dark colors cover it best; light colors keep a soft gray shade underneath. On a home printer the gray tone depends on your printer and print quality. Digital previews, each shown in one color.
From line art to finished page
Example of a finished page: a digital preview colored by AI, not by hand. Your page will differ.

Questions
How do I get my book?
Right after checkout you'll get a download link on screen and by email. The link works up to 5 times. If it runs out or something goes wrong, write to hearthhourstudio@gmail.com.
What paper and printer settings should I use?
Print at 100% ("Actual size") on US Letter. On A4, choose "Fit to page". Square 8.5 x 8.5 in books leave a strip of blank paper you can trim. For markers, use cardstock or 32 lb / 120 gsm paper, one design per sheet.
The gray in the Monochrome books looks darker or lighter than I expected.
Home printers vary. Print the "How it works" page first and test your marker on the patches; you can lighten or darken the print in your printer settings.
Can I share the file or print it for my class or group?
Personal PDFs are for you and your household; please don't share, resell or upload the file. For a care home, senior center, library, class, club or church group, write to us.
Is this the printed book?
No. PDFs are digital files you print yourself, and nothing ships. The paperbacks are sold on Amazon (links on each page).
Can I get a refund?
See our refund policy below. In short: if a file is broken, won't open, or isn't what the page described, write within 30 days and we'll fix it or refund you.
Is the art made with AI?
Yes. The illustrations were created with AI image tools (Google Gemini), then selected and checked by hand. Some of our text is drafted with an AI writing tool (Claude). We say this on every product.
Will tax be added?
Prices are in US dollars. Depending on where you live, Payhip may add or include sales tax or VAT at checkout.
Refund policy
Our products are digital files you download right away, so we can't take them back once downloaded. But we want you to have a file that works and matches its page. If your file is broken, won't open, is missing pages, or isn't what the product page described, write to hearthhourstudio@gmail.com within 30 days of purchase with your order email. We'll send a fixed file or refund you in full. If you bought the same item twice by mistake, we'll refund the duplicate.
Buyers in the EU and UK: at checkout you agree that your download starts immediately and that you lose your 14-day right of withdrawal once it starts. If you haven't started the download, you can still withdraw within 14 days of purchase: use this store's Contact page or email hearthhourstudio@gmail.com, with your order email and the words "I withdraw from my purchase". We refund within 14 days of your message.
This doesn't affect any other rights you have under the law where you live.
