Power Tools Rater: Free Printable Birch Tree Art Prints with Custom Carved Initials

After the Christmas decor comes down (the day after Christmas at my house!) it can be tricky to find the right seasonal decor — what kind of winter decor is right for your style? and when can you add Valentine’s decor into the mix? Well, this month’s Canon collaboration printable is the perfect solution, as it’s both beautiful and simple winter decor AND a perfect nod to Valentine’s Day since you can customize it to feature the ones you love — with carved names on the trunk of the watercolor birch tree! But it is great as year round decor too!

The first print is an 8×10 size and features the quintessential symbol of love: carved initials inside a heart.

On the next print, an 11×14 size, you can add up to 8 family member’s or children’s names on the tree trunks.

And then round out the trio with a simple 5×7 handlettered watercolor verse:

and then print.

AND GUESS WHAT!

I got a new printer from Canon and I am so excited about it!! Truly it is so pretty, I just can’t stop looking at it, and if you don’t have a lot of space, it is the perfect fit for just about anywhere! – and even though it is compact you can still print up to 11 x 14! (plus it comes in red!!) The PIXMA TS9020 is more compact than my previous one and the updated design is so modern (stay tuned for a chance to win one yourself soon). The new TS series has four sleek options to choose from, you can find your picture perfect match HERE.

Each print has cut lines included, so for best results, print the 5×7 and 8×10 on standard 8.5×11 paper and the 11×14 on 11×17 paper and then use a craft knife and a metal ruler (like we used for the pennant calendar) to cut along the cut lines. Be sure to use a cutting mat underneath so you don’t cut up your table!

You could mount these prints on boards like we did with these feather prints, hang them on an easy DIY memo board, or frame them — you’ll need one frame each in 5×7, 8×10, and 11×14, and I think these rustic wood frames we found are the perfect complement to the birch tree art prints. The frames are from Hobby Lobby, but there are similar barnwood frames available over on Amazon as well.

These make a great winter decoration grouped on a mantel or shelf — why not add some real birch candles (or safety-conscious battery operated ones) or tealights? or hang the prints on the wall as part of a mini gallery collection, maybe even with one of the winter prints from our seasonal watercolor print set! You could add a large slice of real birch to the ensemble, or pinecones, evergreen sprigs, and a pom pom garland would also be great additions!
