| Everyone Can Make and Print Full 12” Scrapbooking Borders – with a regular printer! |
| Full 12” Borders Using the similar technique as in the Hand Painted Heart Scrapbooking Border, I used Nova’s Scrapbook Factory (any program that lets you set your parameters to legal size - 8.5” x 14” - will print out these borders -Including Microsoft Word. Just go to file- page setup - paper - and choose legal size. There's a screen shot of Word and the directions for using Word to make these borders in Hand Painted Heart Border). Inside of Scrapbook Factory and with my page open to Legal Size, I inserted clip art borders from PC Crafter Hugware. They wouldn't stretch to 12” (they lost too many pixels along the way) so I duplicated 3 images and set them next to each other, barely touching, and did a ‘wallpaper seam’ – trying to minimize the area where they overlap. I was able to fit a lot of borders on one sheet of 8.5” x 14” paper. If you want a more polished look in your printing – I use 13”x 19” photo paper and cut it to 8.5”x 13”, and it works fine. I just start my border closer to the top edge (in the program) to fit in the whole 12” (not centering it in the middle of legal size 14”). After printing them, I just cut them out – usually using a guillotine paper cutter. But, it would look really nice to cut them out with decorative scissors. In this picture and for demonstration purposes, there are a lot of borders adhered to 12”x 12” black card stock. |
