Ribbon
Hole punch
Teacher Appreciation Gift Tag Printables
Printer or Printing Service
Optional: Cricut machine

First day gift tags include “happy first day of school” and “highlight of my year!”

You can really pair them with any sort of small gift. Even a candy bar in the checkout aisle of the grocery store works. We find new highlighters are great for the “highlight of my year” highlighter gift tag.

Teacher Appreciation Gift Tag Printables with a Printer

These gift tags for teacher gifts can be created in a few different ways. To print off using a printer, follow the steps below.

Print off your Teacher Appreciation Gift Tags on cardstock using your printer.

Once you purchase Etsy Digital Downloads the next thing you want to do is print a digital print. Follow these steps for how to download your digital files from your Etsy account and how to print digital art at Staples.

Are you like me. Going to the stationary store and customizing a digital print is a thing of the past? If you want to stay seated on your couch and have access to 1,000s of digital download prints follow me as I take you through the steps of finding, downloading, saving and printing Etsy Digital Downloads.

Etsy Digital Files

An Etsy digital download is any product that you purchase and download without a physical copy. This can come as a DOC, PDF, PNG, JPEG or even SVG file.

If you have made a purchase of digital files on Etsy, it is important to know where to find your print shop digital downloads. Guess what. You can’t download Etsy digital files on iPhone, iPad or Android app. Right now you cannot download a digital purchase through the Etsy app. However, after your purchase it is really easy to access Etsy digital downloads on a non-mobile desktop computer or using your mobile browser.

If you are purchasing digital files, I suggest having an Etsy account and not checking out as a guest. Digital files are available once your payment is confirmed. If you made your purchase online, give it a few minutes for your Paypal or credit card to process.

To access your digital downloads after purchase, in your Etsy account you will see a “View your files” link which goes to the Downloads page. Here, you can download all the files associated with your order. Look for the button, “download files.”

Etsy Digital Download Help

With everything online, it is easy to run into trouble. Working off a major retailer like Etsy means there isn’t always someone available at the help desk. Let’s answer some digital files frequently asked questions for Etsy.

How do I know if I purchased a digital download?

If you’re unsure if you’ve purchased a Digital Item, you can always go back to the listing page. If it is a digital download, you should see an “Instant Download” message on the images for the item.

How to download Etsy digital files on iPhone, iPad or Android App

Right now you cannot use the Etsy app to print or download Etsy digital files. Instead, access Etsy digital downloads on a non-mobile desktop computer or using your mobile browser.

How do I access Etsy digital files from my account?

To access your digital downloads from your Etsy account:

Sign in to Etsy.com and go to Your account.
Go to Purchases and reviews.
Next to the order, select Download Files. This goes to the Downloads page for all the files attached to your order.

On the download page, you will see the Etsy digital download file size. Each digital product is a different size.

Once you have downloaded your digital files, you can take the next steps for printing as you would for any file on your computer.

I don’t have an Etsy account

Sigh. I get it. It is common to have the desire to checkout as a guest. If you are purchasing something like a digital file you want access to forever, check out with an Etsy account in the future.

The good thing, is you are not a lost cause. If you do not have an Etsy account you can download your digital files from your inbox. Look for an email from transaction@etsy.com in your inbox. Be sure to also check your spam or junk inbox and your social or promotions tabs.

Contact the Seller

If you continue to have trouble with your Etsy digital downloads, you can contact the seller using Etsy Messages. Supply the email address you used for purchase as well as the order number (if you have it.) I would also be helpful to tell the seller the product you purchased and the time and day. This will allow the Etsy seller to quickly access your order and confirm your purchase.

How do I print Etsy Digital downloads

Once you have accessed your Etsy digital downloads save them to your computer. Then next thing you will want to do is set up your printer to print digital downloads.

If you do not have a office or home printer to print a digital print, there are other solutions for where to print digital art and get quality prints. Once you have downloaded the file, you can simply upload the file to the printer of your choice, or transfer the file to an external drive and take it into your local print shop.

Where should I print digital downloads?

Home Printer
Costco
Walgreens
Vista Print
FedEx Kinkos
Local Printers
Staples

How to Create Digital Downloads for Etsy

So easy I can do it! If this is you, become an Etsy seller and learn to create your own Etsy Digital Downloads. You must have a platform that can create JPEGs, PNGs, Docs or PDFs.

Using Canva’s platform, watch videos online to learn how to make new templates or use their templates for digital products creation.

Plan the perfect beer tasting party with these fun adult party games that will have your party guests laughing and having a great time and making new friends.

A good party is all about having fun and drinking beer. After all, beer is the most popular alcoholic beverage in the world! Without it there would be no adult parties or drinking games to enjoy. In this blog post we will discuss some of the best beer drinking games you can play at your next party that are sure to make everyone have a great time!

What is a Beer Tasting Party?

A beer tasting party is a gathering where everyone brings a type of beer to share. These are often planned by people who want to explore the tastes and styles of different types of beers.

In order for this event not to be too tough on anyone’s taste buds, it is best if there are a variety of different kinds available so that guests can sample them all without worrying about not liking the few that were offered by one host.

When hosting a cheers & beers party, download a beer tasting notes PDF. Compare colors, clarity, aroma, flavor, appearance, mouthfeel and more. You can even give it a score of one to five ~~stars~~ beers.

What Are Some Drinking Games To Play At A Beer Tasting Party?

Gather up your supplies and plan some fun drinking games to entertain your party guests. Some beer party games include:

I’m Going to a Bar– A new take on the childhood game, “Going on a Bear Hunt” players sit in a circle and take turns saying different drinks that they would get from the bar. Each person repeats the list and adds another drink to the list.

Straight Face– This funny game tests your willpower to not laugh while reading ridiculous statements party guests write.

Defy Gravity– Keep your balloons in the air with this one-handed challenge. The last team with all their balloons in play, wins!

Pass the Orange– Ever try passing an orange with no hands? This crazy game tests your skills at passing fruit around the circle without dropping it.

Name that Quote- This game can be adapted to use movie quotes, songs, titles of shows or anything that works well with the friend group you’ve invited over.

Charades– A boozy spin on the classic game, write down funny actions or things that will get your guests acting and laughing.

Beer Pong– What’s a beer tasting party without beer pong? Set up the cups and watch the party come to life with this game of skill that gets harder the more you drink.

Donuts & Cocktail Sticks– Work as a team to get as many donuts into your team’s bucket before time runs out. The twist? No hands. You can only pass the donuts with the cocktail stick that’s in your mouth.

Two Truths and a Lie– This getting to know you game is perfect for the beginning of the evening, especially as you’re waiting for other guests to arrive.

Mr. & Mrs. Freeze– This game can be played throughout the party to add a fun twist to the evening. Guests have to pay attention or drink up!

Heads up– Download the Heads Up app and play the fun guessing game.
