Print the paper then print a box, bag or other template on the reverse side. Since the paper is flat it can be further decorated before you cut and assemble the template. You can also use dies and commercial cutters to cut out shapes from the digital papers.

Digital papers can be used to add a painterly backdrop for quilling or embroidery . Print on cold press watercolor paper for a light texture. Then mount your quilled paper creations on the paper before framing.
Digital or real world Scrapbooking! Wouldn't your photos look wonderful surrounded by these painterly papers? You could use the coordinating papers in a collection to create a "patchwork" page on which to mount your photos. Or start with a plain page and mount each photo on an individual, painterly background. Document your travels with the digital papers printed on the maps where your photos were taken. There are many public domain maps online. Search for "public domain maps" and you will find maps of varying ages available for free.


For the artist who uses paint as their primary medium a softened floral image like this could be used as a background with a butterfly hand painted over the digital image.
For a card maker this needs nothing more than a greeting or sentiment whether stamped, printed or hand written.
Ink transfers are a great way to apply the digital imagery directly to wood or other porous substrate without any paper remaining on the surface.
To do this, mount the freezer paper onto a piece of card stock so that is does not curl and provides a bit of body for passing through the printer.* The easiest method for bonding the paper and card stock is to use a spray adhesive. Be sure to do this in a well ventilated area (I prefer outside) and protect the surrounding area from overspray. Use a piece of freezer paper larger than the card stock Lightly spray the card stock and smooth the matte side of the freezer paper onto the adhesive. Trim away the excess freezer paper.
Lightly dampen (not too wet) the surface on which you want to transfer the image with multi-purpose sealer + water 1:1. Use an inkjet printer to print the the digital paper on the shiny side of freezer paper. Immediately place face down on the wood surface and burnish to make sure all parts of the image come in contact with the surface.
Any porous surface can be used. Using this ink transfer method on fabric would make a wonderful background for embroidery. Transfer directly to stretched canvas for a quick start to a painting or collage.
You create a secret treasure box from an old canvas-bound book by using RB Stencil Gel to bond the pages. With the pages together, apply the gel long the three outer sides. When dry, cut out the center of the pages. Apply gel to the interior cut edges as well. Then bond the back cover to the pages with the gel. Decorate the front cover (lid) starting with an ink transfer then add additional decoration as desired. This will work best on a light-colored book or apply a coat of light color paint to the cover before doing the transfer.
Save the transfer sheet. Wipe to remove any residual ink and you can reuse it indefinitely.
