FAQs
What does 'acid and lignin-free' mean for my projects?
Acid and lignin-free materials prevent yellowing and degradation over time. This ensures your scrapbook pages, cards, and other keepsakes remain vibrant and preserved for years to come.
How many sheets of paper are included in total?
The kit includes 6 sheets of 12x12 cardstock paper. Each sheet is double-sided, featuring two different designs.
Can I use these papers with my printer?
While the papers are high quality, they are designed for crafting. Printing on them may vary in quality depending on your printer's capabilities. It's recommended to test on a scrap piece first.
Are the stickers repositionable?
The stickers are designed for permanent adhesion. While some may be carefully lifted and repositioned immediately after application if done gently, they are not intended to be repositionable.
What kind of adhesive works best with these papers?
Most standard papercraft adhesives, such as glue sticks, double-sided tape, liquid craft glue, and adhesive runners, will work well with these cardstock papers.
Can I cut the 12x12 papers down for smaller projects?
Yes, the 12x12 papers can be easily cut to any desired size using scissors, a craft knife, or a paper trimmer.
Troubleshooting
Stickers not adhering well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or oils. Press firmly on the sticker for a few seconds after application.
Paper tearing when cutting
Use a sharp blade on your cutting tool (scissors, craft knife, or machine). Ensure the paper is securely positioned and supported during the cut.
Designs not matching desired project aesthetic
Consider incorporating elements from other Simple Stories collections or adding neutral cardstock to complement the kit's designs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This kit requires no setup; simply open the package to access the materials. Ensure you have basic papercrafting tools such as scissors, adhesive, and a cutting mat.
