The Easy Way to Build Beautiful Pages

Ever seen a page and thought “I wish I could make a page like that, but I don’t know where to start!”?  We all know that feeling, and that’s why we think blueprints are great!  They get all the tricky work out of the way and leave you the time to add your own unique touches to make your pages 100% your own!

Here’s how to use our blueprints:

1. Click on the thumbnail drawing to start downloading the blueprint file. Each blueprint is inside a zipped folder. When the dialogue box pops up, choose "open" to unzip the folder.

2.  Copy the .page file from the unzipped folder to any location on your computer where you will be able to find it later. (Some people choose the desktop; others keep a folder especially for their blueprint pages.)

3.  Open up a Storybook Creator Plus 3 project that is the same size as the blueprint you’ve downloaded.

4.  On the home menu, click on the “Import Page” button.

5.  Navigate to the folder where you saved the blueprint file.  Click on the thumbnail and choose “Get Pages”. 

That’s it!  Aren’t you ready to give it a try?  For a little video tidbit about downloading and importing blueprint files, click here.
