Every year I tell myself I’m going to start early… and every year I end up pulling last-minute laser projects together with a cup of coffee and a whole lot of Christmas spirit. If you’re anything like me, you want projects that feel fresh, fun, and super customizable, without spending hours designing from scratch.
So I put together a whole list of easy holiday templates you can make right now, plus a link to my favorite place to get editable files: Cuttle. (It’s where I design almost everything these days, and yesss, ALL of the projects you’ll see on this page are available as Cuttle templates!)
