3D Decoupage Copyright

Monday, July 02, 2007

We are often asked about copyrights for 3D decoupage sheets, prints and papers etc.

Here is what you can do:

Use to make personal greetings cards, pictures and other craft projects for your own personal use. You can also use original decoupage sheets to make greeting cards or pictures, which you then go on to sell or give away; this may form part of your business.

What you can't do:

Make copies of the original decoupage sheets for your own personal use or for the purpose of reselling or giving away, or for making greetings cards or pictures which are for the purpose of resale or are given away.

Putting it simply, once you have purchased an original 3D Decoupage sheet, you are free to do as you wish with it, except you cannot copy the design either by photocopy, scanning or even drawing a copy of the design.

Paper and Envelope Sizes

Thursday, June 21, 2007

European paper sizes range from A0 to A10 and the principal is that the lower the number, the larger the size is. Also as you move from sizes to size, the area is doubled (or halved) for example, A5 = 2 x A6, A4 = 2 x A5 etc.

There is also a range of "C" sizes which follow the same pattern but which are slightly larger than their "A" counterparts and are commonly used for envelopes. So an A5 piece of paper would fit into a C5 envelope, the envelope needing to be slightly larger than the A5 piece of paper.

The following chart displays the various "A" and corresponding "C" size along with their metric and imperial dimensions.

Size Dimensions (Metric) Dimensions (Imperial) Size Dimensions (Metric) Dimensions (Imperial)
A0 841 x 1189  33" x 47" C0 917 x 1297  36" x  51"
A1 594 x 841  23" x 33" C1 648 x 917  25.5" x 36"
A2 420 x 594  16.5" x 23" C2 458 x 648  18" x 25.5"
A3 297 x 420  11.7" x 16.5" C3 324 x 458  12.8" x 18"
A4 210 x 297  8.3" x 11.7" C4 229 x 324  9" x 12.8"
A5 148 x 210  5.8" x 8.3" C5 162 x 229  6.4" x 9"
A6 105 x 148  4.1" x 5.8" C6 114 x 162  4.5" x 6.4"
A7 74 x 105  2.9" x 4.1" C7 81 x 114  3.2" x 4.5"
A8 52 x 74  2" x 2.9" C8 57 x 81  2.2" x 3.2"
A9 37 x 52  1.5" x 2" C9 40 x 57  1.6" x 2.2"
A10 26 x 37  1" x 1.5" C10 28 x 40  1.1" x 1.6"

Greeting card sizes are generally quoted as the size when folded, e.g. an A6 greeting card measures 105mm x 148mm when folded, but 148mm x 210mm when opened out.
