FAQs
What does 'acid and lignin free' mean for my crafts?
It means the paper is treated to prevent the natural acids and lignin found in wood pulp from breaking down over time. This prevents yellowing and brittleness, preserving your creations and photos.
Can I use this paper for cardmaking?
Yes, absolutely. The 6x8 size is suitable for many card sizes, and the included 3x4 element sheets are perfect for card fronts and embellishments.
How many sheets are in this pad?
There are 24 double-sided sheets in total, including 4 designer prints and two 3x4 greeting card element sheets.
What is the theme of this paper pad?
The theme is 'Little Princess,' featuring designs suitable for royal, fairy tale, or young girl-themed projects.
Is this paper suitable for stamping?
Yes, the cardstock is suitable for most stamping techniques. For detailed or alcohol-based inks, test on a scrap piece first to ensure minimal bleeding.
Can I use this paper with my scrapbook?
Yes, the 6x8 size is perfect for smaller scrapbook pages or can be cut and incorporated into larger layouts.
Troubleshooting
Paper tears easily when cutting.
Ensure your cutting tool (scissors, craft knife, or machine blade) is sharp. Use a cutting mat and apply steady pressure.
Adhesives do not stick well.
Ensure the paper surface is clean and free of dust. Use a strong papercraft adhesive like double-sided tape, liquid glue, or adhesive dots.
Colors appear faded.
Store the paper away from direct sunlight. Handle with clean hands to avoid transferring oils that can affect the ink.
