PURR-FECT RELIC COZY MYSTERY HOLIDAY STICKER COLLECTION

Ho-ho-ho! Enjoy some fun pictures of Aneksi, the talking cat sidekick in the Purr-fect Relic Cozy Mystery series all dressed up for the holidays! There are also a couple with her long-lost sister, Khepeset.  I use these stickers on the backs of Christmas card envelopes, but you are free to use them however you wish. 

HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL NEED: My Purr-fect Relic Cozy Mystery Holiday Stickers printable saved to your own device and white, full-page sticker paper (I use Avery 8165, which I bought at Wal-mart for less than $6 for 10 pages).

PRINTING DIRECTIONS:

  • From a desktop computer, copy/paste this link for the full-size sticker page: https://deannadrake.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/AneksiChristmas_Stickers_Sheet.pdf

  • You’ll be taken to the printable page. If your cursor turns into a magnifying glass with a plus sign in the middle of it, click the image. This will enlarge it to its full size.

  • Then right-click the image and choose the “Save Image As” option. You should now be prompted to save the file on your home device.

  • Once you have it, open it, put a full-sheet sticker page into your printer, and print.

  • Cut each sticker out to use. It’s that easy!
