What is in the pack
The stripes are painted, not ruled: the lines wobble a little and the colour pools at the edges, so the printed sheets keep the look of real watercolor. For every colour there is a stronger sheet and a washed-out one, which makes easy pairs for a page and its photo mat.
The files are 12 × 12 inch JPGs at 300 DPI. The designer also suggests them for shirts, mugs, pillows and bags.

Ideas for using these papers
- Journal and scrapbook backgrounds. The pale sheets sit quietly behind photos and writing.
- Cards and envelopes. A deep sheet for the card front, its paler twin for the envelope liner.
- Tags and labels. Stripes stay readable at any size, so even a small tag shows the pattern.
- Baby and birthday pages. Six pastel colours cover both without a themed print.
- Wrap for small gifts. One printed sheet wraps a jewellery box or a bar of soap.

How a 12 × 12 inch sheet prints at home
| Paper | “Fit to page” | 100% (“Actual size”) |
|---|---|---|
| Letter | The whole sheet at 67%: 8 × 8 in | An 8 × 10 1/2 in piece of the pattern at full scale |
| A4 | The whole sheet at 65%: 19.7 × 19.7 cm | A 19.7 × 28.4 cm piece of the pattern at full scale |
One sheet printed on Letter paper at 100% is enough for:
Each link opens the Template Maker with that size ready to print on the back of the sheet.
Printing tips
- Open the file in any image viewer or drop it onto a blank page in a text editor, then choose Print.
- Choose “Fit to page” for a whole small sheet, or 100% to keep the pattern at its full scale.
- Pick matte paper or light cardstock and select the same paper type in the printer settings.
- Set print quality to “Best” or “High” and print one test page before you print the set.
Colours may look a little different on paper than on screen: that depends on the printer and the paper.
