General question about Paper Craft templates

[MommyToTwins]

Hi,

Okay I am going to sound like a totally idiot I know but I have a question. I saw a template in Paper Crafts magazine I would like to try and have never done one from there before so I am hoping all you Pro's can help me. It says enlarge 250%. How are people doing this? DO you scan it in and enlarge that way? Or can you use a copier? ANd what if there are other things on the page? DO you just copy it and then cut it out and then enlarge it? I am so confused. Can anyone help answer a "DUH" question?

Thanks so much

I just put it in my scanner to copy and then choose custom and click on the 250%

I tried to do it on a copier at work and just didn't get it... now I know I can use the scanner I'll try that!

I'm so glad someone asked this! I was wondering the same thing. I don't work in an office anymore and it is hard to get out to the local Kinko's with my kids! Never thought of using my scanner :cool: ! Thanks!

I've done it on a work copier - you need to copy your page, then cut out the template and enlarge only that piece. You might have to play with where to place it on the copy glass - some need it kind of in the center, some need it in the upper left corner.

I usually lay a piece of plain white paper behind the little template on the copier glass, but you don't really need to.

Thanks everyone for all the help. I am going to try ALL the ideas, Frist the copier and the scanner and if I have no luck well, Kinkos Here I come.

Thanks again
