I just have a regular printer. HP Envy. What is the best paper to use to print a map for scrapbooking. I think someone ask this question in regards to Ali's freebie scrapbook paper for the latest DD but I can't find it. Thanks.

Is there an effect you are trying to go for? Maybe crinkle it up after if you want a more worn look? I think vellum would be cool. Also blemon used that neat cotton/fabric type paper for her traveler's notebook. Maybe check out Amazon for different types of printable papers. |

I never thought about the effect - ha! Just wanted it to print out clearly. And be similar to scrapbook paper. Vellum sounds like a great option. I want to adhere this to the inside of a travel album. I will try this today.

I have printed on vellum before and loved the effect, but did have some issues with smudging. For me, it was worth it to leave it alone for a few hours to make sure that the ink dried on the vellum.

I have printed a map on vellum, and I love how it turned out. It is a nice way to soften the colors of the map if they clash with the other papers. But typically, I just use white cardstock.

Maybe crinkle it up after if you want a more worn look? this was my best hack for junior high and high school history projects. no home printers back then but i would make my amateur map drawings on paper and then crinkle it and smear it (sometimes in dirt) to age it. then i would burn the edges for the extra old look. i swear, i always got extra credit for that hack. |

Yes! Or dip it in tea? I remember something like that. |

I remember something like that. it was coffee in our house but yes, coffee dyed paper was a thing too! back when everyone used typewriters, my dad would have bond paper that resembled vellum or onion paper. i used those too. |
