Winter Design Ideas

Dec 23

Published: December 23, 2022

As the days get shorter and the temperatures drop, we prepare for the December holidays and the new year. There’s so much to keep track of-gift lists, groceries to buy, events to schedule. Here are a few themes and ideas to help keep track of it all.

P.S. All fonts featured in layouts are free from various websites. They’re linked under each image.

BONUS! Scroll to the end of the post for FREE winter themed digital stickers.

We also have winter themed digital stickers in our shop.

Year of the Rabbit digital stickers coming soon!

MISTY SUNRISE

One of the best things about winter is cold mornings warmed up with a hot beverage.

EXAMPLE LAYOUT

Cool colors, fun fonts, and cute stickers help turn this weekly page into a winter wonderland.

*Fonts Featured:* *Mountains of Christmas* + *Dosis* + *LP Snowflake*

COLOR IDEA

Dark Mist: #698489
Medium Mist: #93ABB0
Light Mist: #CDD8DA

Warm Tan: #EAD5C3
Brown: #877363
Green: #ADB88F

DESIGN TIPS

Ever heard of dingbat fonts? Instead of containing letters, they actually have shapes like the snowflakes in this picture! You install and use them like you would any other font.

They’re fun to use as bullet points and markers. For instance, try using one color to indicate an item still needs to be done, then change it’s color when complete.

FIRESIDE

Crackling fireplaces and hot cocoa. Name a cozier pair.

EXAMPLE LAYOUT

Transform a blank page into a warm, traditional holiday weekly spread with fireside colors and whimsical fonts.

*Fonts Featured:* *Magic Christmas* + *Cormorant Garamond*

COLOR IDEAS

Orange: #E08B51
Yellow: #ECC474
Deep Orange: #CB7C34

Dark Red: #9C4531
Blue: #709DA5
Brown: #664A3D

DESIGN TIP

Search the “Gothic” fonts section of DaFont or the “Blackletter” section of FontSquirrel, to find free fonts that look like Santa’s workshop signage.

NEW YEARS

As a Japanese American in Hawaii, New Years is a big deal with as many family traditions as Christmas (if not more). My family and I thoroughly clean the house, pound mochi, and make sure we have a kadomatsu (which we used to make annually) to usher in good fortune and a prosperous New Year.

EXAMPLE LAYOUT

Blank spreads are a great place to solidify plans and ideas, create vision boards, and brain dump.

Though I don’t normally have specific resolutions, I often pick a few themes to focus on in the coming year. I transformed this page into a kawaii (cute) worksheet to prepare for next year using our upcoming Year of the Rabbit sticker set.
