What IS digital paper?

Digital paper is created in a graphic design program using bright background colors and repeating pattern graphics. The paper is sized in either 12 x 12 in (for traditional scrapbooking) or 8.5 x 11 in to be printed at home for physical projects. It can be in high resolution JPG files or PDF file format. This digital paper can then be used in a variety of digital or physical crafting projects.

What can I use digital paper for?

Digital paper can be used to beautify many digital and paper projects such as:

-Memory keeping scrapbook

-Digital scrapbook

-Digital or paper greeting card

-Note paper or note cards

-Invitation cards

-Cash Envelopes

-Gift tags (This tool makes gift tag making EASY)

-Gift boxes (Check out this box making punch board)

-Gift wrapping paper

-Party Decor

-Origami paper

-Wall art

-Background wallpaper for your phone/tablet/computer

-Decorative accents or components for a digital planner and/or paper planner decorating

How can I use digital paper in my planner?

Most of our readers will be interested in how they can use FREE digital paper for their planners and we have some ideas for you! Keep in mind our paper is sized at 8.5 x 11 US letter so that you can print at home with no special resizing procedure or special printer. Here is just a short list of ideas you can try…

• Print our digital paper out on heavy glossy cardstock and make a planner cover. Add interest by using contrasting papers for the inside of the cover. We have a full tutorial available on How To Make Planner Covers or you can watch a short video overview below:

• Print our digital paper out on glossy sticker paper and use a box punch to create decorative “box” planner stickers.

• Print our digital paper out on glossy sticker paper and use a straight line cutting board to create custom sized washi tape or decorative margin, header or footer stickers for your planner pages.

• Print out our digital paper on heavy cardstock (120 lb) and use a tab punch to create tabbed planner dividers, pocket dividers and “today” planner page markers.

What type of paper should be used to print digital paper?

This highly depends on the end use for the digital paper but you will want to use paper that is heavier than standard printer paper. I highly recommend using medium to heavy cardstock (110 lb cardstock to start) for most crafting applications (sticker paper if you’re using this digital paper in your planner). The reason being is that digital paper puts down a fair amount of ink (especially when the background color isn’t white). This amount of ink can cause plain paper to curl and warp which isn’t visually desirable for many applications.

Do I need a special printer or print settings to print this free digital paper?

No, you don’t need a special printer but you should adjust your print settings to “high quality” so that the paper moves slowly through the printer. This will eliminate lines and gaps during printing and give you a high quality printout. If you are using glossy cardstock or sticker paper then you’ll want to also select something like “glossy photo paper” for the paper type in addition to selecting “high quality”.

If you don’t have a printer at home you can send your files to places like Kinko’s or Office Depot for color printing.

We’ll be adding tons of free printable digital papers to this post over the coming months but since we’re starting heading into the good weather months I thought we’d share some summer themed digital papers that you can use for scrapbooking, memory keeping, cards, gift tags, crafts or decorating your planner!

FREE Digital Scrapbooking Paper

Now we’re going to get into ALL the free digital scrapbook paper! You won’t find boring geometric patterns or anything with a black background that’ll drain you printer’s ink. These digital paper designs are beautiful florals, polka dot, buffalo check, stripes, printable pattern papers & seasonal prints for all your creative projects. We have free printables for spring, summer, fall, winter, Halloween & Christmas. This is a great way to collect a lot of FREE resources

Free Digital Paper for Spring & Summer

Looking for some spring or summer themed FREE printable digital paper packs? We’ve got a nice selection of beautiful FREE printable digital papers that you’ll actually WANT to download and use ASAP! We made some gorgeous little gift boxes using the predecessor to the do it all 1-2-3 Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers.

Let’s check out some of this cute digital paper! You’ll see some from our FREE digital paper pack and a one sheet (the butterflies) from our 13 sheet upgrade which you can grab in our shop HERE.

As I mentioned earlier, I am using the predecessor to the do it all 1-2-3 Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers. It’s a plain gift box punch but I much prefect the 1-2-3 Punch Board because it will make gift boxes in many sizes, matching bows AND envelopes which covers a TON of paper crafting projects with ONE tool.

The 1-2-3 Punch Board tool is really easy to use and create professional looking paper crafts in a few steps. This handy tool can make boxes from 1.75 x 1.75 x 1.75 up to 10.2 x 10.2 x 10.2 inches. The one we made with our FREE digital papers is 2.75 x 2.75 x 2.75.

I first printed my digital paper on heavy cardstock (120 lb) and then used my trim & score board to get the paper to size (in this case it needed to be 8 x 8 inches square). Using the instructions on my gift box punch board I was able to punch & score the gift box in just a few minutes. All the step by step instructions are printed on the tool so you never have to worry about them being lost somewhere.

I highly recommend printing a contrasting pattern on the inside of the box. It adds a nice touch and makes your box look even more professional. I used the FREE printable pink Moroccan digital paper for the inside and the FREE pink vintage floral digital paper for the outside. I used disappearing purple glue stickers from Elmers to glue it all together. I held it together with clothespins while the glue was drying.

It’s that a sweet little gift box isn’t it? Imagine the pretty boxes you could make with some of our free printable digital paper and a nifty tool like this!

If you want to see how this tool works more in depth please check out this short step by step video from We R Memory Keepers (below) that shows you how the 1-2-3 Punch Board works and some fun projects you can make with this tool (besides ours of course!). They did a better job than I ever could with video so I’ll leave it to the professionals.

We provide all of our free printable digital papers pre-sized in US letter 8.5 x 11 inch PDFs. This makes them easy to print at home on cardstock. They are for personal use only.

Free Digital Paper – Vintage Florals

I’ve always said…if life gives you lemons…make some lemon themed digital paper! I mean…doesn’t everyone say that? This bright & elegant collection of 5 FREE printable vintage digital papers is beautifully pre-coordinated to perfectly mix and match.

These digital papers feature the bright colors of summer (cornflower yellow, leaf green & creamsicle orange) along with dreamy summer themes like sun drenched lemons & vintage florals. Let’s take a closer look!

These papers are often termed chinoiserie which is a fancy term for western patterns or motifs that emulate the style of art of the far east. These vintage digital papers are perfect for bringing a classic look to any paper crafting, fussy cutting, scrapbooking, card making or DIY planner project.

I always get questions about how I am able to print edge to edge with my digital scrapbook papers so no cardstock is wasted. I use a Canon Pixma similar to this model which has edge to edge printing. It’s really is the ultimate crafters printer with this dandy little feature.

If you do a lot of at home printing and want to save beaucoup bucks on printer ink for just about any printer out there I suggest you head to Amazon and look for non-manufacturer ink. I use a company called EZ Ink on Amazon.

As an example, can get 3 COMPLETE printer refills for 1/3 the price of 1 complete refill of Cannon’s brand ink. AND there is NO difference in quality. Look up your cartridges on Amazon by number/brand and you’ll probably find someone who is making it for much cheaper.

I decided to make some summer themed planner dividers with these gorgeous printable scrapbook papers. Summers are the slowest part of the year for me so I take that time to do some brainstorming for new creations for the website. I wanted to create a special section in my planner to capture these summer brainstorms.

You can make your own planner tab dividers at home using a tab punch board, a trim & score board & a 9 hole Happy Planner Punch.

The company that makes these products (We R Memory Keepers) has a quick video that shows you how the tab punch board works & all the things you can make. Their video is better than any I could ever make so I’ll just drop it right here. It’s a quick 59 second watch. If you’re addicted to your planner this is a fun & handy tool to have around.

The result is some pretty professional looking planner tab dividers! I mean…check these out!

There are two pro-tips from my experience making these DIY planner tab dividers that I want to quickly share…

First, I would definitely recommend that you print your pattern on both sides of your cardstock so you don’t have to see plain white on the back of your dividers when you flip the divider over. The same pattern looks nice but if you want to change it up you could pick a contrasting pattern. In some cases the pattern direction is important (some have a “right side up” so pay attention before you start cutting).

Second, I also think I’m going to laminate these so they’ll last longer. I have an inexpensive Amazon Basics Laminator that I use with professional grade .5 mil laminating pouches. It makes all of my planner paper crafting projects last for the long haul.

While I used these printable scrapbook papers for planner tab dividers there are lots of paper crafting projects that you can use them for (see our lengthy list at the top of this post). Next, I want to make some blank note cards since I really like to send little notes (via snail mail) to friends and family. Download them now so you have them when you need them!

We provide all of our 5 free printable digital papers pre-sized in US letter 8.5 x 11 inch PDFs. This makes them easy to print at home on cardstock. They are for personal use only.

Printable FREE Summer Digital Paper Pack

It’s really fun to decorate your planner, digital planner or bullet journal with summer themed digital papers. You can make a lot of cute planner accessories like planner tab dividers, pocket folders, DIY planner covers, and cash envelopes.

I also like to use it for DIY paper crafting like gift tags, origami, cards, gift wrapping and scrapbooking to give you a few ideas.

Let’s take a look at this FREE summer scrapbook paper! I’m so excited to use this in my paper crafting projects! Look at ALL THAT FUN SUMMER COLOR!

This FREE summer digital paper pack is designed to mix and match and work interchangeably. I really love the fun, bright summer colors! It just screams summer! This highly depends on the end use for the digital paper but you will want to use paper that is heavier than standard printer paper.

If you’re printing these out, I highly recommend using medium to heavy, premium cardstock (I like this 110 lb cardstock to start) to print out our summer scrapbook papers. Card stock holds up SO much better when a lot of ink is involved (plain printer paper can curl and warp) which isn’t visually desirable for many most paper crafting applications.
