There are oodles of great gift ideas using photos and circular templates, my favorites being coasters and mouse pads.<\/p>\n
This coaster set was featured in Simple Scrapbooks’ Digital Scrapbooking Magazine a while back and I wanted to share it here on the blog.<\/p>\n
Using Quick Page ScrapOver templates in CD case size, add your photos and journaling. Save as high quality jpgs and you’re ready to order gifts.<\/p>\n
Our Life Lessons Coaster \/ Circle Album Pak<\/a> was used to create them…super simple and quick! Remember to keep important text 1\/2″ from all edges, allowing for trimming by the vendor.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_1_placeholder\n See our Quick Page ScrapOver tutorial<\/a> for step by steps on how to use them with Adobe Photoshop Elements (Photoshop follows similar steps). See our Corel Paint Shop Pro tutorial here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Here are some close-ups:<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_2_placeholder\nngg_shortcode_3_placeholder\n This particular print vendor even sent them in their own metal box, allowing you to design a cover.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_4_placeholder\n No longer available by this print lab, you can create a set of 4 same-design rubber backed coasters at Artscow<\/a>. Simply choose to create your own design and upload a finished round template in jpg format.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_5_placeholder\n An idea to end up with sets of varying designs is to order 4 sets of 4 designs, splitting them up into 4 gift sets.<\/p>\n At least three members of our team have printed with Artscow and were very pleased with the end product. I have not yet tried them.<\/p>\n Artscow also offers round mouse pads<\/a>,\u00a0 5″ round magnets<\/a> (great for the frig), key chains<\/a> and various sized round buttons<\/a>. Fun!<\/p>\n Watch for our next post on making your own decorative art coasters.<\/p>\n Happy printing!
