Monochrome Nutcracker Christmas Kit

Print the set for everyone. Color one for someone special.

Six Christmas cards, eighteen matching gift tags and a fold-out village for your mantel, all designed in the same paper-cut style as Monochrome Nutcracker. Print them finished and ready to send, or print the outlines and bring them to life with one black pen.

Print as many as you like. Sending cards to the whole family? Print your favorite sheet as many times as you need. Mess one up? Print another. No one has to know.

The six designs

The Nutcracker, Clara at the Window, The Sleigh Ride, Drosselmeyer's Clock, The Land of Sweets and The Snowflake Waltz.

What you need

• A home printer and 80 to 110 lb cardstock (216 to 300 gsm)
• Everyday scissors, a ruler and a glue stick. No craft knife or cutting mat needed.
• For the coloring versions: a fine black marker or a dual-tip brush pen
• For the gift tags: a 1/4 in hole punch and some twine or ribbon

Good to know

• The coloring cards are detailed at card size. A fine-tip marker and a little patience go a long way, and the tightest spots are already filled in for you.
• The coloring files use very little ink. The finished versions are mostly solid black, so they use more.
• Printing tip: if the black looks blotchy or speckled on cardstock, open your print settings and look for Media Type or Paper Type (on a Mac it's often under Media & Quality). Choose a heavier option and print again. The right setting doesn't always match your card's weight, so test one sheet first.
• Using an inkjet? Choose the inkjet setting on your cardstock package and let the finished cards dry for about 10 minutes before you cut and fold.

Personal use only. Print as many copies as you like for your own cards, tags and decor. Please don't share or resell the files.
