Although this is in the “business stationery” section, of the Print Free Cards website, it has such a tactile appearance to it, that you could easily use this for scrapbooking or card making too. The border is neat, with a slight shadow to give a sense of depth, and the background is pale, and has the appearance of textured card like Bazzill Basics, used frequently in scrapbooking. One of the best borders for printable stationery, owing to the unobtrusive pattern - it is detailed, but not so much that it would take focus away from any text on the page.

I’ve shown the Bumblebee border design here, in a color certificate format, but there are many others in a similar format that depict smileys, hearts, fish, and flowers.
