Free Printable 4th of July cards
Another fun 4th of July activity to do with your kids is to transform these Independence Day coloring pages into personalized greeting cards to spread the freedom vibes.
Check out our four best approaches:
- Print four per page and cut them into A6-size greeting cards
- Print foldable coloring pages on A4 cardstock and fold in two
- Print foldable coloring pages on regular A4, cut them in half, and glue them onto cardstock
- Print foldable coloring pages on regular A4 and fold them in two
I personally find the first two options the most elegant, as cardstock gives them the authentic sturdy feel of greeting cards. However, if you’re after a simple, fun activity, printing these foldable pages on regular A4 paper is a great choice.
Below, you’ll find brief instructions for each method.
But before you start, remember to:
- Preview before printing
- Print one page as a test before doing the entire batch
- Do a test print on normal paper before using special paper
- Check your printer’s manual or do a quick online search for solutions if the test copy doesn’t look right
1. Print four per page and cut into A6-size cards
First, choose your favorite coloring sheets or download the entire collection. Before hitting print, ensure your printer is set to print four per page. This is usually found under paper sizing and handling, or something similar.
Then cut the pages and you’ve got the perfect coloring greeting cards!
2. Print our foldable design on A4 cardstock and fold in two
Alternatively, download these foldable coloring pages. They’re designed in landscape A4 size, with the coloring page on the right side, so when folded, they become perfect greeting cards.
Though make sure your printer is properly equipped to hand the sturdier cardstock paper, otherwise try the next alternative.
3. Print them on regular paper, cut and glue on a4 cardstock paper
If your printer can’t handle cardstock, this is an excellent alternative.
Simply print the foldable coloring pages on regular A4 paper, cut them in half, and glue them onto folded cardstock for a sturdy and elegant card.
4. Print foldable design on regular A4 paper and fold it in two
For a quick and straightforward DIY card, this method is ideal. No need for cardstock, complex printer settings, or cutting and gluing. Just download, print, color, and fold, and you’re ready to spread the 4th of July joy!
