Digital Scrapbook Papers are not only for scrapbooking. You can use them for a a lot of different craft projects.

Where To Get Them

  • Digital Scrapbook Place: You must register to gain access to their freebies page, which offers a myriad of digital papers
  • Crafts Beautiful: this British DIY site provides a ton of tutorials. Every month Crafts Beautiful introduces a new set of “backing papers.”
  • Shabby Princess: Here you can find gorgeous sets of papers and embellishments. I used the 2005 holiday sampler for the projects on this post

What To Do With Them

  • Print on paper and make paper beads, paper boxes (Mirkwood Designs has nice templates), envelopes, stationary
