Hexagon digital paper template & hex. paper freebies

edited to add:
I'm SO sorry. It turns out that
these papers are 72dpi, so they are probably
only good for online use or printing very small.
Sorry. I am working on new and improved 350dpi
resolution ones to share, soon.


free hexagon pattern


The file is sized to be 12.5 inches
in case you want to make a digital scrapbook paper:


Click this link to go download the PNG
or
Download the JPG here



Here's one sized to fit a standard sheet of cardstock
8-1/2" x 11":


Click this link to go download the PNG
or
Download the JPG here




fill this template with pattern:

Just open it in Photoshop or similar software,
and fill the hexagons with pattern or photographs.

I prefer to work in large scale so I make it HUGE first 8000px square
so that patterns will fit nicely in Photoshop.

To print it I use the % option in photoshop.
And print that size at 9% or less.

If you would like a Photoshop tutorial on
how to fill with pattern, please see this post:

How to make custom patterns &
use them to fill images:





And here are some free papers, you can use them however you
like, just please don't sell them as any kind of digital file.

Pencil Damask:
Halloween:

If you're selling something handmade, feel free to use them.

If you're giving something away for free, feel free to use them
as a digital element however you would like.
Please link back here so I can visit you!


Hope everything works okay.
(Blogger has completely messed up how you view photos! boo hiss!
Please put it back Blogger; the slideshow option is a miss.)

Hope you have fun with these!


P.S. I'm working on a hexagon paper with ledgers in it; any other ideas you'd like to see? :o)

    thanks for sharing Mel; this looks like a fun project and I like your examples. I really like the leaf pattern in the Halloween hex., is it available somewhere to download?
