Bleed or No Bleed?

[tinkerbell1112]

probably dumb question...but what does it mean "bleed" and "no bleed" and why would I use one over the other? I do not print my cards typically. Just use in Artisan. I'm thinking it has to do with printing, but not positive. Thanks!

Are you talking about pocket cards? Use no bleed for digital scrapbooking or printing at home. Use bleed when printing with a professional, like Persnickety Prints. They cut the cards to the right dimensions, so having bleed keeps you from having a white line along the edge.

What SuzyQ says! For Journal/Pocket Cards, I don't ever send them out for printing, so I only keep the no bleed ones.

The bleed ones have extra around them so that the printer has wiggle room - like that whole 1/4" trim thing that Artisan has on a page.
