<p>To print my papers to scale on my 8.5&#8243;x11&#8243; printer I selected &#8220;8.5&#8221;x11&#8243; borderless&#8221; then clicked &#8220;center on page&#8221; and made sure the scaling box said 100%. You can print it smaller if you like too, it is digital so it is up to you! I also used Digital stamp from the <a href="http://http://www.mygrafico.com/digital-stamps/love-grows-here-digital-stamp-set/prod_1576.html">Love Grows here se</a>t on this page and a cute <a href="http://www.mygrafico.com/svg-cutting-templates-for-cricut-a-/fancy-borders-svg-cutting-templates/prod_1675.html">SVG photo mat from Mujka Design</a> that you can cut with your Cricut if you have <a href="http://www.craftedge.com/index.php?rfid=4291406&amp;amp;ref=c05943995fc9e9df4a0b0672d997478d">SCAL software</a>. I used my Cricut to cut the scalloped mat on the card and the woven heart valentine pocket, you can get that SVG in the <a href="http://www.mygrafico.com/svg-cutting-templates-for-cricut-a-/sweettreat-svg/prod_1750.html">Sweet Treat SVG set</a>. The stamp on the card is also from the <a href="http://www.mygrafico.com/digital-stamps/love-grows-here-digital-stamp-set/prod_1576.html">Love Grows here set.</a></p>
