Friday Freebie Printable High Quality Digi Paper

Good afternoon to you all and hope that you’ve had a good week. Today I’ve got no card to show you but instead, I’d like to share with you a digi design paper freebie. After so many times of running out of my favourite DP, I thought that I would have a go at designing my own using Adobe Photoshop.

I’ve had so much fun designing this sheet and others that I think that I will be making much more.

The size of this digi paper is 15cm x 15cm (perfect for cardmakers) and I’ve used 300 dpi to ensure that the print is perfect.

If you would like to have the above, then just add your name to the link below and I will email it to you :0)
