Have you visited Jim's Printable Minis lately?

Even if you're not "into minis" a crafty jeweler will recognize the
potential of
printing miniature book covers, pass ports, paper money, calendars, holiday
cards and then embedding these in liquid polymer clay for charms or
additions to beads.

This slide show works best in IE, it shows how I took mini printable paper
money and added it to black lace and gold coins for a Barbary Coast bead.

This page shows how I took a picture of a pendant made with the "African
Themed Chop and Toss "
printed it out on a mini printable cake box, lined it with gold foil from a
candy wrapper and made a wee gift box to hold a special focal bead.

Mini printables for Christmas gift wrapping paper container was a nifty
find. I cut out small pictures of gift wrapping paper from magazines to roll
up as the
wrapping paper. The tinsel was cut from candy wrapper foil.

Kai's new digs needed to be "peppered with paper" so he had news papers to
read, playing cards to gamble his printed paper money, and stationary to
write home for more money if he had a losing streak.
All these mini printables can be incorporated into polymer clay on jewelry,
tins, picture frames, covered note books, covered pens, not only for dolls
house decoration.
Just a few ideas that I think are underutilized.
