About
"Collage Sheets" |
A "collage sheet" is a
collection of images arranged on a single sheet, intended for
printing as a single sheet. They are often printed onto nice
linen paper or textured paper, cardstock, photo paper or
transparencies.
After printing, you can then cut out individual images to use in
your altered art and crafts projects.
We sell digital collage sheets.
This means you will receive your collage sheet as a digital jpg file
that you download to your computer and then print yourself onto the
paper or papers of your choosing. You don't need any special
software, just a laser or inkjet printer. You can also print
onto transparencies, transfers, sticker-backed paper, even fabric,
whatever you desire that will work in your printer.
Why
digital?
There are many advantages to
receiving our collage sheets in digital form. One is that you
can choose your own paper or other media, and print the collage
sheet as often as needed. Rather than purchasing a single copy
of a pre-printed sheet, you are purchasing a file you can print
yourself whenever and however you need it for your personal use!
This means that digital collage sheets are a much better value than
pre-printed sheets, and can save you hundreds of dollars over time.
Another advantage is that our digital collage sheets are delivered
to you instantly via the internet, with no shipping charges and no
wait time.
 Why
"jpeg"?
Unlike PDF files, JPG images can easily
be resized or edited. And they
offer superior image quality compared to
PDF files (which are not technically
even image files, but more like a screen
shot intended for text pages) and do not
require any additional software to open
them. JPG is the ideal format for
the home crafter and digital artist.
While PDF offers advantages for the
seller, we find that JPG offers better
quality and more flexibility for you,
the customer!

Can I print
individual images from a collage sheet?
No. Each collage sheet is
a single jpg file which will print as an entire sheet, so you cannot
print individual images taken from a collage sheet. If you
prefer individual images, you will want to purchase one of our image
CDs, which are collections of individual jpg images.

Can I
resize the images?
Each sheet is designed to print
as a letter-sized sheet (8-1/2 x 11 inches). Because each
collage sheet is a single image, you cannot resize the individual
images on it.
HOWEVER because these are jpgs you can easily resize the whole
sheet. If wish to use the images on a sheet in a slightly
different size (for example, small for jewelry),
just print the entire sheet larger or smaller. Keep in mind
that if you go
too
large they will start to lose clarity -- but you can go as small as
you like.
TIP: If you will
be resizing our sheets when you print them, remember to resize a
copy and keep the original. That way you won't lose resolution
from repeatedly resizing and resaving.
What kinds
of images are on your collage sheets?
Take a look
and see what an incredible variety you'll find! Antique
photographs and vintage postcards, beautiful art, Edwardian and
Victorian cards, old letters with beautiful handwriting in English
and French, antique paper money, vintage ads -- proper ladies and
sassy flappers, charming children and whimsical fairies, birds,
flowers, butterfly wings, divas from every era, cowgirls and
bellydancers.... plus much, much, much more... really!

collection of images and ephemera!
How does
"downloading" work?
After you
complete payment for your digital collage sheets, you will receive a
confirmation email that contains links to the collage sheets.
Just click on each link to open the file, then use "SAVE AS" to save
each file to your own computer. Then you can go to that saved
file and print collage sheets when you need them! It's best to
save first and print from there, rather than trying to print
directly from the download.
How do I
purchase your digital collage sheets?
It's easy! First please
