Product Information

Full details

The My Colors Glimmer Holliday Bundle is for crafters, card makers, and scrapbookers seeking high-quality, color-consistent cardstock for festive projects. Its key benefit is the core-dyed, acid-free, and lignin-free nature that ensures durability and prevents cracking when folded. A minor caveat is its specific holiday theme, which may limit its year-round applicability for some users.

FAQs

What does 'core-dyed' mean for this cardstock?

Core-dyed means the pulp itself is colored before the paper is made. This ensures the color is consistent all the way through the sheet, so you don't see white edges when you cut or score it.

Is this cardstock safe for scrapbooking photos?

Yes, it is acid-free and lignin-free, which are crucial qualities for archival use and protecting photos from degradation over time.

What is the weight of this cardstock?

The cardstock weighs 80lb or 216gsm, which is considered a heavy weight suitable for many crafting applications.

Can I use this cardstock with a Cricut or similar cutting machine?

Yes, it is compatible with most die-cutting and electronic cutting machines. Ensure your machine's blade and settings are appropriate for 80lb cardstock.

What kind of projects is the 'Glimmer Holliday' theme best suited for?

This bundle is ideal for Christmas, winter holidays, New Year's cards, gift tags, wrapping paper accents, festive party invitations, and seasonal decorations.

How should I store the cardstock to keep it in good condition?

Store it flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent fading or warping.

Does the 'glimmer' aspect mean it's glittery?

The product name 'Glimmer Holliday' suggests festive colors suitable for holidays. While some My Colors cardstock may have a subtle sheen, this specific bundle's description emphasizes core-dyed color and quality, not necessarily a glitter finish.

Troubleshooting

Paper cracks when folded

Ensure you are scoring the paper before folding. Use a scoring tool or the dull edge of a craft knife to create a crease line. The long fiber pulp is designed to minimize cracking, but scoring is still recommended.

Printer jams or does not feed the cardstock

Check your printer's manual for the maximum weight capacity of cardstock it can handle. Ensure the paper is loaded correctly according to your printer's guidelines. Try printing one sheet at a time.

Color appears dull after application of adhesive or ink

Test adhesives and inks on a scrap piece first. Some wet mediums can temporarily darken cardstock. Ensure the product is stored correctly to maintain vibrancy.
