No. Everything in the shop is 100% digital. You will receive high-resolution, instant-download PDF files immediately after purchase. No paper prints, tape, markers, or carving tools are shipped.

Every listing includes separate files formatted for US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) and standard A4 (210 × 297 mm), allowing you to print seamlessly on any home or office printer worldwide.

Once payment clears, your files are immediately available under your account purchases/downloads tab, and an automated download link is sent to your registered email address.

Because digital files cannot be returned once downloaded, all sales are final. If you encounter any technical issue opening or printing your files, reach out directly and it will be resolved quickly.

In your printer settings, select "Actual Size" or "Scale: 100%". Do not select "Fit to Page" or "Shrink to Printable Area," as this alters the proportions and prevents multi-page designs from aligning correctly.

Larger designs are broken down into individual numbered sheets arranged on a grid (such as A1, A2, A3 across the top row, and B1, B2, B3 across the second row).

Trim along the indicated margin edges of each printed sheet, match the corresponding row and column codes (e.g., align edge A1 to A2), and secure the overlapping seams together using clear household or painter's tape.

- Standard Version: Designed to be taped on the glass facing inward if you want to read it from the inside, or taped to the exterior of the window if you are tracing directly outdoors.

- Mirrored (Reversed) Version: Designed to be taped to the inside of your window facing you so you can trace comfortably indoors, while the final artwork and text read correctly from the outside street view.

Water-based liquid chalk markers or erasable glass pens with reversible bullet/chisel tips work best. They provide solid, vibrant opacity on glass and clean up effortlessly.

What is the step-by-step method to draw on the window?

1. Clean and thoroughly dry the glass surface to remove dust and grease.

2. Assemble your stencil sheets and secure the template flat against the glass using painter’s tape.

3. Trace the outlines steadily onto the glass with your chalk marker.

4. Fill in solid sections or highlights, let the ink dry for 5 minutes, then remove the paper template.

How do I erase or clean off the window art when the season ends?

Wipe the design off with a damp microfiber cloth or warm soapy water.

How do I transfer the stencil onto a real pumpkin?

Trim away excess paper around the template so the sheet flexes easily. Tape the stencil securely to the flattest, smoothest side of your cleaned pumpkin (making small slits in the paper edges helps it wrap around curved surfaces).

How do I mark the lines before carving?

Use an awl, pushpin, or serrated tracing wheel to poke small guide holes closely along the printed lines. Peel the paper away, and connect the dots with a washable marker or carve directly along the pinprick outline.

Can these stencils be used for pumpkin painting instead of carving?

Yes. You can cut out the negative shapes with a craft blade to create a direct paint stencil.
