i should be mopping the floor: Hot Air Balloon Printables

Our Summer Printable Series (including today's post) will contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Affiliate, I make a small percentage when these links are used, at no additional cost to you.

This year's Summer Printable Series is kicking off with this sweet hot air balloon design. It's available in two design options (with or without the background), two format options, and three sizes. I'm so happy you're a part of the series. Grab these free printables as a big THANK YOU below.

This year's Summer Printable Series will begin on Monday, June 1st (I love that it worked out to be a Monday...makes for the perfect start). And just like in our previous series, I'll send you a short and sweet email each morning to let you know the goody of the day with a direct link to it. Super simple, right?

As requested by the majority of the readers who took the Summer Series Survey, we'll be running the series for the entire 30 days of June. And of course, we like to kick things off a bit early with a THANK YOU printable. Grab this one below.

Summer Printable Series Thank You Print

Reading through all of the survey answers was so much fun, as well as very enlightening. I've been compiling everything on spreadsheets and started working on designs for the series. I absolutely can not wait to show you everything. From lake-themed prints to beach prints to patriotic (Canada included) prints...there is a BIG variety, but I'm trying to stay within a somewhat watercolor theme throughout (since that was also high on the theme list).

Summer Series Details

The Summer Printable Series starts Monday, June 1st at 5 am (you don't have to be up at 5 am...that's just when the email hits your inbox).
Your email will contain the link to the day's print.
We will have one design per day through the last day of the month (even weekends).

There is nothing you have to do...you're all signed up and ready. But, be sure to download this hot air balloon printable below as your very first print of the series.

Summer Hot Air Balloon Printable

The hot air balloon printable is such an uplifting way to start the series (see what I did there?). It's available in the following sizes and formats, listed below. All sizes and formats are available with or without the light blush-colored polka-dotted background.

4x6" JPEG and PDF (the PDF version comes with two designs per page to reduce paper waste)
5x7" JPEG and PDF (the PDF version comes with two designs per page to reduce paper waste)
8x10" JPEG and PDF

The PDF version can easily be printed onto letter-sized cardstock...just trim the margins off and frame.

Printing Your Printable

Download links are available below the following image, but first, here's a few tips on getting the best quality of printable:

The PDF versions of the design are perfect for easy, at-home printing.
The JPEG versions can be printed like an image or photo. Feel free to upload to your local photo-printing place for printing.
When printing your PDFs at home, be sure to use white, letter-sized cardstock for the best quality. Regular paper is too flimsy for this use.

Grab a ream of white, letter-sized cardstock here on Amazon. That's where I purchase my own stash...they have the best price.

Since this is a watercolor print, use either NORMAL or DRAFT mode on your home printer for the best ink quality. Draft mode can often create a striation in its ink placement that replicates authentic watercolor. I can't guarantee all printers perform the same, but give it a try and see.
