Stars and Stripes Papers

About this freebie

The Stars and Stripes Papers pack brings classic patterns to your summer projects. This 9.8 MB download includes 8 papers in a palette of white, flag red, navy, sky, cream, and ink. You get versatile JPG files featuring stars, stripes, a ticking stripe, polka dots, plaid, and linen textures, plus solid flag red and solid navy options. These 12 x 12 inch pages work well for Fourth of July layouts, and you can use them for personal pages or cards you sell.

Ideas for using it

1. Create a Fourth of July layout using the solid navy paper as a background and the stars pattern for a bold border.
2. Design handmade greeting cards with the ticking stripe and plaid papers. You can sell the finished physical cards at local craft fairs.
3. Document a summer picnic by mixing the polka dots and linen papers. The cream and sky colors add a soft touch to bright photos.
4. Cut digital banners from the flag red and navy papers to decorate a title on your holiday scrapbook page.

How to use it

• Each paper is 3600 x 3600 pixels at 300 dpi. This resolution ensures crisp results if you print your layouts at home.
• Learn about page sizes and printing to make sure your 12 x 12 inch digital files print correctly.
• Use the solid flag red or solid navy JPG files as a base layer. Then, add the plaid or stripes on top with a slight drop shadow.
• Keep your 9.8 MB ZIP file organized in a dedicated summer folder on your computer so you can easily find the patterns later.
• Use the papers as page backgrounds, or cut blocks and strips by clipping them to shapes.
• The papers are 3600 x 3600 pixels, so they can be scaled down for 8 x 8 inch albums without losing quality.
