How to make Christmas cards with printable coloring pages

It focuses on planner printables, but paper that printer ink looks great on are also good for coloring. I love using HP 32# paper for coloring pages. It’s thicker and brighter than “regular” copy paper, which helps keep markers from feathering. Your pages look and feel professional when you use this paper! In my experience, the best budget markers for coloring Crayola Supertips. They’re a bargain and fun for both adults and children. They’re popular for hand lettering practice, too, because you can make brand strokes or thin lines with them. The fine tip makes them better than many other markers for coloring details. Please note: Crayola Supertips caps usually don’t look exactly like the ink when you color. I think the colors are darker than what the cap shows. This is a common problem with markers and why it’s generally recommended to swatch out your markers. Don’t want to make a “formal” swatch? Make a few squiggles on a scrap sheet before coloring to make sure you aren’t surprised by the shade. You may also want to color these pages with sparkly gel pens for an added Christmas shine.
