How to use the 12x12 pages and how to change the size of the print using your printer settings

 

I have been creating some 12x12 pages for our Kay..and thought i would show you

These pages have been designed on a 12x12 canvas to 300 dpi so it offers fabulous quality.. just ignore the fact that they are 12"x12" for the moment, i just created them that size so they appeal to more people.

When i was in Canada i had a local print shop.. i used to take my designs and get them printed. It was so much cheaper than buying scrapbook pages from Michaels. I used to like choosing the different card/ paper/vellum to print onto - they had a good selection of textures and finishes too!

and i have stickles, foil and gilding flakes if i wanted to bling them up.

It literally saved me a fortune!

for home printing on a:

A4 Printer - just print as normal onto your A4 Sheet

A3 Printer - print onto A3 to give you your 12x12 sheet

** Have your 12x12 pages printed at your local print shop (show them your receipt for permission to print)

The sheets can be used for lots of papercrafting projects such as handmade cards:

They also work really well for scrapbooks, notebooks, note cards, junk journals, brag books, mdf crafts, decopatch / decoupage, bottle art, fabric art, collage and so many mores styles of crafts

If you use the card as an example the background layer was printed at 70% and the second sheet was printed at 40% to create a background paper and a topper for my card.

I do this using my Printer settings.. it is so simple!!
