A little personal flair can go a long way when it comes to networking. That why, in addition to my 40 new business cards at FreePrintableBusinessCards.net, I also have a free, custom generator that lets you upload any photo you like onto your card.

The photo business card generator is handy for people who want to customize their business card with a headshot, pictures of property, or maybe just a home pic of the pet cat. It’s handy for artists, actors and anyone looking for something a little different. It was inspired by my popular QR code business card generator, which creates a custom QR code containing the card holder’s contact information or website.

The new business cards also have a lot of personality and are pretty diverse. If you’re looking to sell your image as a singer, artist, nurse, fashion designer or even a ninja, there are plenty of cards here for you. There are also quite a few vacation-themed cards, including golfing, resorts, airplanes and recreational drumming.

There are more than 1,200 business cards at FreePrintableBusinessCards.net, each of them with a unique design. A free version is available with a permanent URL of the site, whereas the editable version has a removable URL and costs $3. Both come as DOC files that can be filled in with a word processor.

There are now more than 1,300 free certificate templates at FreePrintableCertificates.net! I’ve added 100 new printable certificates that are great as general or specific awards for everything from second languages to choir.

I think rewarding the arts is important, so I have a lot of new music certificates for choirs, bands and orchestras. Teachers can give them to students at the end of the year or conductors can provide them after a concert. They reward achievements in bassoon, composition, performance and more. Teachers can also make use of the second language certificates that commend students for learning German, French, Japanese and Italian.

There are also a lot of new adoption certificates for children who want to make the addition of a doll or teddy bear to their family “official.” These are cute and have pictures of adorable stuffed animals to commemorate the occasion. The category also includes certificates to commemorate adopting a baby.

Finally, 26 new monogram certificates are up and available for weddings, graduations, parties and formal events. They are general enough to work for everything, but they also cover the whole alphabet, which is useful for specific party favors or awards. Each letter is written in Gothic script against a colorful border.

FreePrintableCertificates.net has certificates for every occasion: anniversaries, holidays, sports, education, business and more. Each one is free to print as a PDF. There is also a $5 DOC that can be edited in a word processor. They’re a great way to keep activities fun and to show your appreciation.

I’ve added a whole bunch of new printable page borders to PageBorders.net that are festive and party-themed, making them great for thank you letters, correspondence and even picture frames.

The new holiday page borders are particularly great for parties, especially birthdays. Designs range from the abstract, such as curlicues, zigzags and stripes, to decorations such as confetti, party hats and wrapped presents.

There are a lot of patriotic page borders in this new batch for several different cultures. A lot of borders are made up of flags, but the colors are designed to resemble the American flag and the Mexican flag. There’s also a frame of the Eiffel Tower for French vacationers and some beer and pretzel borders that are great for Germany’s Oktoberfest.

The 300 PageBorders.net page borders can be downloaded and printed for free and are wonderfully versatile, since they come as PDF, DOC, PNG and JPGs. Common themes include school, holidays, recreation and nature. Whether formal or informal, they’re all beautifully decorated and lots of fun!

There are 17 great new resume templates up at InstantResumeTemplates.com. While I can’t offer interactive or video resumes (at least not ones that are printable,) I am bringing in engaging new formats, patterns, colors and layouts.

Anyone in the arts knows that you need a bright, eye-catching resume to even get your foot in the door. That’s why I have colorful resumes now that also employ icons, symbols and layouts that popular infographics tend to use as well. Each one draws the eye to different sections, while the colors and patterns make the whole ensemble pop.

For the more business-oriented, there are also formal resumes with new features such as branding statements and testimonials from satisfied customers, clients or employees. These can do a lot to focus your drive and sell your credibility.

There are 162 academic, business, functional, chronological and informal resumes at InstantResumeTemplates.com. Each DOC file is free to download and edit in a word processor before printing and using for interview purposes.

For some reason, some of the best bookmarks always seem to be the ones featuring a tasty snack. I don’t know what it is, except maybe that a good book and a sweet dessert go together so well on any occasion. Maybe that’s why I’ve got more than 60 new printable bookmarks that are almost all made up of delicious food and drinks.

There are quite a few new fruit and vegetable food bookmarks in varying stages of anthropomorphism. These include smiling bananas and cherries; rows of watermelons, pears, and grapes; and garlic and ginger concoctions, all on cheery backgrounds of bright, solid colors.

There are also a number of beverage bookmarks for the people who enjoy a little something harder with their literature. Whether your drink of choice is a foamy beer, a classy martini, or a glass of wine or brandy, there’s a theme here for those long winter nights.

There are nearly 400 bookmarks that you can use at FreePrintableBookmarks.net. This site is arranged by theme more than subject, with gothic, romantic, western, mystery and sci-fi themes available. Just download the free PDF, print on card stock, cut out and fold along the lines, and tape together. If you don’t have card stock, print it on normal paper and laminate it when you’re done so that it lasts longer.

If you’re a small business looking for either traditional or “cute” cash receipt template, then look no further than the 15 new receipts up at PrintableCashReceipts.com.

I’m targeting specific fields with my new business receipts that are custom-designed to fit the services for an auto shop, a daycare, a photographer, an airline and a valet service. They can be used as online receipts or can be printed two to a page. Each one has a colorful header or a picture that fits the theme, such as ducks for nurseries and a broken car for an auto repair shop.

Especially useful for the New Year are the receipt trackers that I have up. The tracker and receipt log help keep track of purchases and transactions over the course of different weeks or months. There is also a year-end receipt, which is helpful to provide at the end of the fiscal year for tax purposes.

Whether you need receipts for donating, thanking customers, online transactions, rent or deposits, PrintableCashReceipts.com has a template that will do the trick. Free PDFs are available, as well as an editable version that costs $7 and can be used in Microsoft Word.

Wow! With my batch of 100 new coloring pages, I now have more than 4,000 printable coloring pages up at FreePrintableColoringPages.net! It’s a very popular site for artists of any age, and I’m so glad to be bringing in more variety, this time for kids who also want to learn to draw.

Everything in the new batch is part of a new animal drawing category. These are great guides for learning to draw everything from ladybugs to pterodactyls to cows to crabs to turkeys. Basically, it becomes really easy to draw any bird, fish, insect, or mammal.

Each animal drawing is divided into two grids. On the top grid, a picture of the cute animal is divided into squares to make it easier to copy. The bottom grid is blank and perfect for trying out drawings of varying difficulty. Step by step, this serves as a tutorial for basic lines, shapes and details.

The 4,057 templates at FreePrintableColoringPages.net are all free to download and print as a PNG file. Popular categories include animals, holidays, fantasy, and plants.

The most important part of a party isn’t really the cake or presents; it’s making sure that the guests show up. Having people drive aimlessly around your neighborhood looking for your address is bound to be a drag, which is why I have a whole new category for printable lawn signs at PrintableSigns.net.

Most of the new printable signs are meant to be printed on cardstock, attached to fence posts or stakes, and left in the yard. All are colorful and attention-grabbing. A lot of them tell guests where to go for a birthday, graduation, wedding, or party. Others are just for showing your allegiance to a sports team or for advertising your business for new work.

“Safety First” is a mantra I can get behind, which is probably why I have even more danger and caution signs now. These warn workers and bystanders alike of the presence of dangerous electric currents, oil lines, heat, asbestos and liquid nitrogen. “Danger” and “Caution” are written in large black letters against bright yellow or red backgrounds.

Finally, there are some new traffic signs that let people know that they’re approaching a curve in the road, an intersection or a railroad crossing.

The new additions join the 3,500 signs already available at PrintableSigns.net, which include library, sale, speed, parking and pool signs. The files are free to download and print as PDFs. An editable DOC file is also available for $1.99 and can be customized in Microsoft Word.

I’m pretty excited that PrintablePaper.net has reached 1,200 printable paper templates, with my recent addition of 100 new variations featuring different line angles, margins, colors and inversions.

Math students with a bit of flair can try graphing their equations on inverted graph paper. This new take on an old standard produces a negative-like quality where the background is gray and the heavy index lines show up as white.

There are also two new types of lined paper: colored and slanted. The colored paper is specifically designed for those who have trouble with dyslexia, dysgraphia or scotopic sensitivity. The pale red, blue, green, gray and yellow backgrounds reduce the negative effects of the bright white paper. There’s also slant paper available, which has penmanship lines at different angles for right- and left-handed people.

Finally, there are new music paper for any choral composers who want to mix treble and bass clef, or for any five-string instrumentalists looking for tablature paper.

There are 1,201 paper templates that can be downloaded and printed for free as PDFs from PrintablePaper.net. There are forms for school use such as columnar paper, penmanship paper, isometric paper and logarithmic paper. There are also fun templates for comic books, games, dot paper and score sheets.
