Looking for some cute acorn printables for Fall and leafy tree themed projects? Download these freebies for your next papercrafting idea!
Time for another digital card design and the digital tuesday challenge has presented falling leaves for the theme this week. I was super excited to participate because I’m currently enamored with leafy patterns. There are so many types of leaf shapes to experiment with and also so many colors, especially during the Fall season. Here’s the digital card I created:
I designed a leafy yellow and orange pattern as well as the green scribbles for the background. Feel free to use my design work for your personal papercrafting projects – I’m happy to share! The acorn image was a quick doodle and you can download it full color or black and white to color yourself.

Looking for some cute summer designs? Download these freebie watermelon printables for your next papercrafting project or creative idea with the kids!
After creating my first digital card design, I was happy to learn from a fellow crafter the existence of Digital-Ink Co and challenges. I thought it was the perfect opportunity to participate in the current recipe challenge and use the watermelon drawings I created in the challenge. Here’s the digital card from my digital designs, all in the theme of watermelons.
I might have gone a bit overboard with all the patterns and bright colors, but I just couldn’t help myself. It’s definitely fun to design all sorts of backgrounds and digital elements.
Of course, I still like piecing the cards together with real paper when I send to family and friends, so printables are a must! Here are the digital elements for you to download and use for your own watermelon themed projects.

Wondering how to use printables in your crafty projects? It’s definitely an amazing resource and I’m exploring cardmaking right now!
Using my own heart themed digital stamps and designs (check out the freebies) – I’ve made a bunch of handmade cards. It’s exciting to be able to create my own designs and using them to realize some type of project. But of course, you don’t have to make your own designs, because there are so many printables out there for free download (as well as paid ones)
All you need is a bit of time to explore the options and try out printables for yourself. Here’s what I created today…
Using Digital Printables
If you are wondering how to use printables, it’s really the most simple process. Digital printables are basically digital files you can download onto your computer. They might be PDFs or image files like JPGs. Either way, once you save them on your computer, you are free to print them at home or send them to a print shop. You can resize and adjust as you like, but the idea is that you can print your own designs to use crafting.
Digita papers are great for scrapbooking and cardmaking – or really any paper project you have in mind.
As for various designs and digital stamps, you can use the outlines and imagery as templates for stenciling or other home decor projects. The sky is really the limit… it’s up to your imagination.
And the great thing about printables is that you always have the digital file, so you can reuse and try things again and again. Digital supplies also take up much less space!

Looking for free printable papers for papercrafting and cardmaking? Here’s a variety of freebies for you to download and craft with!
I’ve been playing around with digital design, digital stamps and cardmaking these days and found that I love creating my own designs as paper printables.
It’s pretty amazing to have an idea, create the design from scratch and be able to print it out for craft projects instantly!
Here are some of the printable paper designs I’ve created and I decided to put them here on the blog for free download. What will you make with these free printable papers?
Although I’m a newbie and still need have much to learn about digital stamping, digital designs and all… I’m definitely enthusiastic and ready to learn more!
This morning I was really into the frenzy and created a bunch of cards from these ready to print designs. Primarily I’ve been concentrating on creating more base materials and decorated papers as supplies for projects.
Download the free printable paper designs below: just right-clicking on each image and saving the PDF to your computer.
The first one with the various sizes of flowers is a giant file, so I had to make it a zip file (still 16mb). Haven’t figured out the logistics yet – also the larger flowers are meant to be cut out and the smaller ones as decorated paper. The rest are pretty light PDFs to download…
I hope these printables can be useful to those of us who lack some crafting inventory or just starting out with papercrafting. I’m still just scratching the surface with digital design, but hope to share more.

Looking for an original love themed stationery paper? How about this heart stationery printable that features an anatomical heart design!
Recently I decided to take part in a card challenge and created a heart design with a literal anatomical heart paper cut-out. Making this by hand, sparked a digital design that I eventually made into printable stationery to share with you – a heart stationery printable!
If you don’t already know, I’m a huge fan of all things heart shaped. For the love of all things girly and lovey dovey, but I tried to be a bit cheeky this time with the anatomical heart shape.
It makes for an unconventional handmade card and perhaps perfect for anyone in the medical profession – hah!
As you might have recognized, I used Milton Glaser’s classic “I *heart* NY” design but just replaced the heart shape with my cut-out version.
I thought it was a cute idea and tried my best to cut out an anatomically correct heart! It’s all about handmade love, right?
I decided to make the design digital, into a stationery paper design and to be honest, it’s a lot easier to draw it digitally than cut it out by hand!

I hope you enjoy the designs and can use it to inspire yourself to get a bit creative.
