I had an ah-ha moment late last night. I often use computer generated sentiments for my cards - some that I create myself and others from sources such as The Cutting Cafe. I learned to print the sentiment first on bond paper, then adhere my diecut or cardstock over the printed sentiment and print again. My problem was that I didn't always get my diecut or cardstock properly placed and then the sentiment or digistamp would be off. Ah-Ha! What if I used graph paper for the initial printing??? Hmm, then I would have guidelines for placement. Well, I tried it and IT WORKED! Take a look:
I wanted to print one of The Cutting Cafe's Back to School borders on this diecut.
So, I printed it out on graph paper first (sorry about the picture quality).
Then, using the squares for measurement, I was able to lay the diecut over the image exactly where I wanted it printed. I used removable double-sided tape to keep the diecut in place and placed the paper back into the printer.
And there you have it! The image was printed exactly where I wanted it.
I hope my idea is helpful. I always appreciate your feedback.
Hugs and Happy Scrapping,

Brilliant!!! Thanks for sharing!!
I've been eye-balling doing this for years and I'm anxious to try graph paper now. Thanks for the tip.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing! I hardly print sentiments off the computer but now I know how to easily!
