Full Etsy listing description
The best family stories rarely begin with a formal interview. They begin with a small question, a cup of tea and someone taking the time to listen. Tell Me More helps you collect those stories with 72 original conversation cards and thoughtful writing pages. Each card has a main question and a gentle follow-up, so the chat can go beyond names and dates into the details that make a life. Explore six themes: Little Beginnings, Everyday Magic, People & Places, Turning Pages, Our Traditions and Looking Onward. Use a few cards at a family gathering, have a quiet conversation with a parent or grandparent, interview a friend or write your own memories. Inside the 24-page A4 PDF: • 72 conversation cards across 12 printable sheets • A quick-start interview guide and theme menu • A story sheet and person portrait page • A six-chapter memory timeline and place sketch page • A photo-story page and tradition keeper • A words-of-wisdom page and letter to a future reader • A memory archive record with sharing preferences • A coordinating cover Print only what you need. The cards have dotted cutting outlines; the writing pages can be printed again for each storyteller. Paper and a pen are enough to begin. A phone recording is optional and should be agreed with the storyteller first. Designed for handwriting on A4 pages. The file is not an editable or fillable template. The printed sheets shown in the images are previews of the PDF; camera, cup, flowers and other styling props are not included.
From download to done

Set up Tell Me More

  1. Choose one of the six themes or follow the storyteller's curiosity; there is no need to work through every card.
  2. Print the card and keepsake pages you need on A4 paper, cut the cards on the dotted outlines and gather a pen.
  3. Let the storyteller skip anything. If you record the conversation on a phone, agree that together first and use the sharing-preferences record.

A little practical help

What settings should I use?

Read the printing guide in your chosen product first. Check the paper size, orientation and scale in the print preview. Plot Twist and Japanese Writing Paper specify A4 at Actual Size; Castles of England uses landscape A4 pages. Print one page and check it before making the full batch.

Which paper should I choose?

Start with a sheet your printer supports. Test your pens or pencils on it before printing a batch. For cards or keepsakes, check the printer’s paper-weight limit before using thicker stock. Do not assume a home printer can handle every craft paper.

How do I download an Etsy purchase?
