Opening your download
Your files arrive as a ZIP. Download it from Etsy in a web browser (on a computer is easiest), then unzip it: on most computers, double-click it; on a phone or tablet, open it in your files app and tap it. Open the PDFs from the unzipped folder, not from inside the ZIP.
Can’t find the download? On Etsy, go to Your account → Purchases and reviews, and use the Download files button on the order.
Printing
- Print at 100% — “actual size” — not “fit to page”, so everything comes out the size it was drawn.
- Use the file that matches your paper: A4 or US Letter.
- Ordinary printer paper is fine; heavier paper (120–160 gsm, about 32–43 lb) makes cards and covers sturdier.
- Print only the pages you need, as often as you like, for your own household, party or classroom.
The tablet edition
The tablet edition has the same pages, with links: the contents page jumps to each section, and every page links back to the contents. It comes in four page sizes — S for 7–8 inch screens, M for 10–11 inch, L for 13 inch, A4 for larger tablets. Try M first.
Open it in an app or on a tablet that lets you write on a PDF. On some tablets the links answer a finger tap but not the pen; every page also shows its page number.
The spreadsheet
The .xlsx file opens in any spreadsheet app that reads .xlsx files, on a computer or online.
- Type in the white cells. The shaded cells are formulas: they add up for you, so leave them as they are.
- There are no macros and no currency symbol, so it works in pounds, dollars or euros.
- Make a copy before you start if you’d like a clean one for later.
Making it a habit
Keep it where you’ll see it — on the fridge, beside your bed, or open on your tablet — and fill it in at the same time each day. A few seconds a day is enough; a gap is fine, just start again on the next line.
