About this bundle
For your child
A nursery finished months ago and left bare for December looks unfinished next to a fireplace already trimmed for the season. Christmas Woodland gives you four to six prints to start with — the bear's lantern-lit cider cart, an owl reading Winter Tales, star lanterns over the village — and a set you take down in January, with the room's usual prints going straight back on the same hooks. A baby in the room has lantern-lit scenes to watch through December. The full 79 buys more than that handful: day scenes for a crib wall and 23 wide landscapes for a mantel, yours to print again every December.
The story
In Christmas Woodland, one small village runs the length of the wall, and the animals in it have jobs rather than costumes. An owl reads Winter Tales aloud to a mouse and a squirrel, a fox pulls a sledge home through the snow, and a fox and a rabbit cross a stone bridge together. Further along, a raccoon balances on a wooden ladder stringing berry garland through bare branches, a badger posts his letter to Santa while a robin watches from the postbox, and a bear sells roasted chestnuts and hot apple cider from a lantern-lit cart.
The rest of the village keeps a daytime pace. A bakery, a toy workshop, a post office stacked with letters to Santa and a gingerbread stall each get their own scene, and elsewhere the animals skate, sled and decorate a tree together. A family bakes at a long table by a wreath window, and a snowy church and lit cottages appear further along.
More of the story
By evening the cream snow grounds go dark and lantern gold does the lighting. Star lanterns, cocoa stands and carol books turn up among the scenes, a steam train pulls into Pinewood Station, and the night sky above the pines fills with stars and a run of northern lights. Santa turns up more than once across the set.
On the night before Christmas the village gathers round a campfire by the sleigh hill; in a separate print Santa hands out presents beside a Merry Christmas sign. The earlier scenes stay soft and gouache-like against a cream snow ground; the night scenes are more saturated, lantern gold and evergreen deepened by the dark around them.
Inside the set
79 digitally illustrated designs in a soft painterly storybook style, split 56 portrait and 23 landscape, organised into a numbered File Guide, portraits first and the 23 landscapes last.
A closer look
The File Guide runs numbered start to finish, with the 23 landscape designs gathered at the end of the set rather than scattered through it. Familiar wording turns up inside the scenes themselves — a Merry Christmas sign over the presents, Santa Mail on the postbox, Toy Workshop and Pinewood Station over their doorways, Hot Apple Cider on the bear's cart, and Winter Tales on the book the owl is reading.

The palette
Ice-blue snow and deep evergreen carry the daytime scenes, classic Christmas red picks out the postbox, the presents and the Merry Christmas sign, and warm lantern gold takes over once the village moves into evening. Cream snow grounds sit under the daytime scenes, with the night scenes carrying deep evergreen and lantern gold against the dark instead. It suits a white or natural wood frame and a plaster wall equally well, whether the prints go up over a crib, a mantel or a gallery wall.
Where it belongs
Gifting
Christmas Woodland works as a gift for a family finishing a nursery before the first snow, or for a grandparent choosing a set the night before a visit. You can start with a handful of the daytime scenes for a crib wall, then add the night scenes closer to Christmas Eve, or print the whole set at once for a gallery wall finished in an afternoon. The download link lands the moment payment clears. The files stay in your account for unlimited personal reprints, ready again every December after this one.
Questions
Every one of the 79 designs comes in five ratios at 300 DPI: 2:3 up to 24×36 inches, 3:4 up to 24×32 inches, 4:5 up to 24×30 inches, ISO A5 to A2, and 11×14 inch. Choose the ratio that matches your frame, then print at the size you need. All five ratios for all 79 designs are in the same download, so there's nothing extra to buy for a different frame size.
Matte photo paper suits Christmas Woodland's ice-blue, evergreen and lantern-gold palette, since it holds the depth of colour without the glare a glossy sheet throws back. A smooth 200gsm-plus card stock works as the budget alternative for a full gallery wall printed at once. Print at 100 percent or actual size, never fit to page.
For your own home, including a homeschool corner, yes — that's personal use. For a school, daycare or paid classroom setting, the personal-use licence doesn't cover business or institutional use, so get in touch before buying and it can be talked through. Home use, gifting and unlimited reprints for yourself are always covered.
Divide $8.44 by 79 prints and each Christmas Woodland design costs a little under 11 cents, covering five ratios and unlimited reprints rather than one fixed size. That price covers the full village — daytime scenes, night scenes and Santa's own scenes — so a whole gallery wall or just a starting handful can come from the same purchase.
Christmas Woodland is a December set: it goes up when the tree does and comes down with the decorations, so nothing about the room's year-round wall has to change. The hooks and frames that hold the room's other prints hold these for the month, and a nursery, a shared kids' room or a hallway goes back to its usual pictures afterwards. Nothing gets repainted or reframed.
The night and evening scenes sit mostly among the 23 wide landscapes at the end of the File Guide, so they are easy to pull out as a group. Daytime scenes sit on a cream snow ground and suit a crib wall or a morning room; the night scenes go dark behind lantern gold and suit a wall lit in the evening. Mixed on one wall, they share the same ice-blue, evergreen and red, so they don't clash.
No. Start with whichever scenes suit the wall in front of you and add more later, since every design in Christmas Woodland is included in the same $8.44 download and stays in your account for reprinting anytime. A crib wall might use only the daytime village scenes, while a mantel or hallway can take the wider night scenes instead. There is no separate charge for adding more once the first prints are up.
