13 Free Printables to Encourage Creativity

Mar 18

Rounding up 13 beautiful free printables and activities to keep the creativity coming when you’re stuck inside.

13 Free Printables to foster your creativity

Today I’m feeling the need for a little creativity but also feel like starting from scratch is a lot of pressure, you know? So a little printable starter to get me going is just what I need. And 13 of them? I’m really going to print them all off and have them ready for when I need it.

I thought I’d share some of the free printables I’ll be using over these next few weeks to enjoy slow, easy creativity while I’m spending more time at home. I hope you enjoy them and print a few off to get creative with! As always, if you do- I’d love to see ;)

There’s some printables from my blog and some from friends I’ve met over the years blogging. Find them linked below.

LEFT TO RIGHT / TOP TO BOTTOM

ONE: Okay so I originally made this one for a party… which I’m sure isn’t why you’re here- ha! But this printable Morse Code Decoder would make for so many fun secret messages! Print it out and leave it for your family to find and figure out.

TWO: One of my favourite things to do when I’m feeling the urge to get creative and need a kick start is a hand lettering practice sheet! Like this little Love Bug Printable Practice Sheet.

THREE: This Sweet Dreams colouring sheet is a fun one to do… before bed? I don’t know guys, I’m already running out of words.

FOUR: This Faith Over Fear printable practice sheet even includes an example finished layout! Hop over to my friend Dawn Nicole’s blog to snag it.

FIVE: I LOVE this quote. And so does my friend Erin from Printable Crush. She made not one… but three versions of this Darkness Cannot Drive Out Light quote printable practice sheet!

SIX: This one’s not a printable but it’s such a fun tutorial on how to watercolor floral wreaths! Inkstruck Studio is such a beautiful watercolourist- you’ll love her tutorials! I just googled to make sure ‘watercolourist’ is a word since it’s underlined in red in my backend… google agrees with me.

SEVEN: A watercolour silhouette tutorial! I share the bunny silhouette as a free printable for this one and then teach how to do a fun watercolour wash with a couple colours in the silhouette. What shapes should be next?

EIGHT: It’s another hand lettering practice sheet! And this one is for mermaids. Can you tell that I love these? I have another one coming later this week because as I was printing them out, I realized I really don’t have enough non seasonal ones to entertain myself over the next couple of weeks ;)

NINE: You’ve Got This! Encouraging printable tracer from my friend Liz On Call.

TEN: We be dreaming of beach days ;) This is another hand lettered colouring sheet for you!

ELEVEN: These aren’t to get you artsy creative… more like conversation creative if you’ve run out of things to talk about. These talk time printable conversation starters have some fun ones! And they’re pretty! My friend messaged me last week to say she printed them off for her coffee table and I LOVE that idea. Steal it ;)

TWELVE: This iSpy is so pretty it doubles as a colouring sheet. Hop over to my friend Fox and Hazel to grab it.

THIRTEEN: Last but not least? One more colouring sheet! It’s been a while since I’ve made this bloom colouring sheet… should I make some new ones?

Hope you enjoy all these printables! I’d love to hear your favourites :)

The hallway is finally finished and I’m so stink The hallway is finally finished and I’m so stinking happy! 

It’s felt like such a long time coming for such a small space. Since we moved in 2.5 years ago, this space has seen new doors and hardware, new trim, new floors... twice😅, we changed the boob light to a pot light and I hated it and now it’s got the most beautiful flush mount fixture I’m in love with (thanks @mymitzi!). It finally got some fresh paint and now frames on walls and last but not least... After this weekend, the new floors look like they were here all along (no door jamb gaps!) which was the last thing really bugging me since our flood last year. 

All this to say that home takes time and sometimes getting it right might take a couple tries. Also- the spaces we don’t really think about (hallways) can totally help a house feel like home with some love (and family photos 🥰)
ps. I partnered with #mymitzi to create a tiktok for This makeover... are you following me over there yet?! I’d love if you popped over and said hi!
It’s done! It works! And I’m calling it a grea It’s done! It works! And I’m calling it a great use of my afternoon the other day. Did you catch the stories? These projects both cost me under $10 by using pieces I already had in my home (yay for scraps!) and one package of drawer slides).
You can find the full video about these two kitchen organization projects over on YouTube in collaboration with my friend @love_create_celebrate and her #scrapsmademodern challenge! But for now... I’m rejoicing this coffee maker is off my counter for good 🎉
How’s your January going? Full speed or are you How’s your January going? Full speed or are you taking it a bit slow too? 

I’m not going to lie, I’m easing into this new year thing pretty slowly. All my decorations are still up (we always leave them up til Ukrainian Christmas which is later this week) and I I’ve yet to respond to my emails since before Christmas 😅
I’m enjoying the slowness of it all.
Happy Christmas Eve from our fam to yours 🥰 Happy Christmas Eve from our fam to yours 🥰
Yes, I made the paper bag snowflakes too. Have you Yes, I made the paper bag snowflakes too. Have you? 😅
This year has been one of a kind and I know so man This year has been one of a kind and I know so many people who are taking this year as the push they’ve been waiting for to start a side hustle, start an new career altogether or to just get creative about how they’re making money. So today I’m excited to partner with @kregjig to share some rad projects to make and sell this year! 
Like this rolling storage system I made for my office, that rad dollhouse and the gorgeous bath toy storage. All of these projects are things that I’d personally love to buy for our family and look like they’d be a great return on your time making them! And yes, all of them use #Kreg tools to make them easy to assemble and quick to make! Plus, they’re having a great sale on right now with deals on their K4 and K5 jigs, Rip-Cut and even a hardware jig bundle! There’s never been a better time to get your workshop set up!  #sponsored
Just a peaceful moment and then a real life moment Just a peaceful moment and then a real life moment for ya 🙃 
My #holidayhometour is on the blog and YouTube (I’ll put links in my stories) as part of the #seasonalsimplicity holiday home tour series. I’ll share those too so you don’t miss any!
My holiday home tour will be up tomorrow, but for My holiday home tour will be up tomorrow, but for tonight... I’m just enjoying the lights. And possibly a hallmark movie with some more custom order lettering 😅 what are your plans?
