Printable coloring pages are great. You don’t have to worry about your color choices. If you aren’t happy with the way the page turned out, you can just print a new copy and color it again. They also make it possible to print your own family-friendly Christmas cards. Grandparents and family friends will love receiving hand-colored Christmas cards from your little ones!

How to make Christmas cards with printable coloring pages

To turn these coloring pages into cards or post cards, simply print multi-up. For post cards, print 4 to a page, then cut them apart with a paper trimmer:

For a large, fold over card, print using the “booklet” feature in Acrobat Reader (this program is free to download if you don’t have it already). Select the “print front only” option, as shown, to make sure the card folds correctly. This is what your settings should look like:

For the best coloring experience, make sure to use a nicer paper when you print. Cardstock is best for cards and postcards. You can see side-by-side companions of the best papers for printables in this post. 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.

Some of the best colored pencils are Prismacolors. Prismacolor colored pencils are soft and creamy, even their more budget lines. Prismacolors color easily and are great for blending. A colorless Prismacolor blending pencil is the perfect tool for the job if you want to start blending colored pencils.
