Gift list

What presents shall I get for my loved ones?

When it comes to Christmas, it’s a question many of us ask ourselves. Some people jot down their gift ideas throughout the year. Others, meanwhile, frantically start thinking about presents when Christmas is just around the corner. Whatever way you approach it, one practical solution is to write a gift list in your journal –it’s also nice to look at! We’ve come up with a decorative template that you simply need to print out before using in your journal. Thanks to the wide range of pens in the Colour Happy Big Box, you can decorate the pages in whatever way you fancy, turning them into a colourful display.

Step-by-step

Step 1

For the design you will need the Colour Happy Big Box containing colour pens, fineliners and much more (available in a wide range of colours). Print out the template and lay it out ready.

Step 2

You can copy the gift list template into your journal with the aid of carbon paper and a pencil, or you can simply stick the printed pages straight in.

Step 3

Go over the various shapes, lines and lettering using the black edding 1800 profipen. Make the words “Christmas Gift List” really stand out as your heading by using the black fineliner.

Step 4

You can now colour in the leaves, stars and all the other motifs using the edding 1300 colour pen. For really fine motifs, we recommend using the edding 1200 colour pen with its slightly narrower nib.

Step 5

For delicate patterns, such as the lines that make up the star shown in the picture here, the edding 55 fineliner is the ideal choice. The box contains a selection of both vibrant and subtle colours. The edding 55 is also perfect for adding ideas to your gift list whenever you think of something.

Step 6

Thanks to the edding 1340 brush pen’s flexible brush nib, you can create effective motifs on your gift list in next to no time. It’s just as good for colouring in detailed templates as it is for adding lettering.
