Wedding invitations, digital scrapbooking, digital paper … help!!!?
My BFF is getting married next year and since I’m into paper crafts I offered to do her invitations and programs as my gift to her. She has chosen burnt orange as her main color and I can’t seem to find any suitable patterned paper with burnt orange and ivory/ecru/cream, etc. to use as the background for the layered invitations I promised her. I am in the Caribbean and it’s next to impossible to find patterned paper/cardstock in my country. In my online searches I’ve noticed digital scrapbooking and digital paper but I am SOOO busy I don’t have time to learn all about them.
Can you tell me what digital paper is? What about digital scrapbooking – what’s that? Can you recommend a great website where I can download “paper” that might be suitable for her invitations, paper that I buy once and can use any way I like, as often as I like?
Thanks! I also posted this question in Hobbies& Crafts.
Digital scrapbook background papers generally come as digital files (in JPEG format at 3600 by 3600 pixels, or 300 pixels per inch if you print it as a 12″ by 12″).
If you purchase a digital scrapbook kit (which can be all papers, or sometimes a mix of papers and embellishments), you can use graphics or photo software to print just the paper for use in paper crafts or paper scrapbooking projects. If you have a standard size printer, that means you’ll really only be able to print the paper at 8″ by 8″ because standard printers do not print at 12″ wide. To print the paper at 12″ wide, you’d need to have a special wide-format printer by Epson, Hewlett-Packard or other makers of wide-format printers.
The digital scrapbook papers initially were created so that a scrapbooker could create their entire layout on the computer. No glue. No scissors. No mess. However, paper scrapbookers have discovered that they can print the digital JPEG files over and over again, so they have been printing digital scrapbook papers and embellishments for use in paper scrapbooking projects.
