Christmas card set in LaTeX with DJR’s Warbler Text.
Based on my 2021 christmas card and my 2019 christmas card.
Adapted from the title page of Household stories from the collection of the Bros. Grimm on archive.org, no license given, presumably public domain. Editing steps present in background-creation/, edited with macOS’s Preview.app, Acorn, Procreate, and Vectornator (now Linearity Curve). Removed noise and text and edited out the big H on the left.
Originally I intended to make a stamp to print it and even got a prototype made, but eventually the time ran out to print it with my home inkjet printer.
This repository includes a calligraphy grid that has – of course – also been typeset in LaTeX. The source as well as the PDF are in the calligraphy-grid folder. I put it behind an inlay to the card and shine through it using a light-pad or light-box tablet app so the lines are visible on top of the inlay. Feel free to adjust the line spacing, slant, or to reuse it for other projects.
I do not write on the inside of the card directly but I cut out an inlay from the piece of paper left over from cutting the card out of A4 paper. I leave 5 mm of margin around the inlay, resulting in an inlay size of 9.5×15.8 cm. This is also the size expected by the inlay.
