FAQs

What is included in the Simple Stories Collection Kit - Dad Life?

The kit includes two 12x12 inch double-sided sheets of paper, a sheet of 3x4 and 4x6 inch element pieces, and one 6x12 inch sheet containing 35 cardstock stickers.

Is the paper suitable for scrapbooking?

Yes, the 12x12 inch double-sided paper is specifically designed for scrapbooking and other paper crafts. It is also acid-free and lignin-free for archival safety.

Can I use the stickers on any surface?

The stickers are designed primarily for paper crafts. While they may adhere to other surfaces, their best performance and longevity will be on paper or cardstock when used with appropriate crafting adhesives if needed.

What does 'Acid-Free' and 'Lignin-Free' mean for my projects?

Acid-free and lignin-free materials help prevent yellowing and degradation of the paper over time, ensuring your scrapbooks and crafts remain vibrant and preserved for years to come.

Are the element pieces pre-cut?

The 3x4 and 4x6 inch element pieces are typically printed on a sheet and designed to be cut out using scissors, a paper trimmer, or a craft knife. The stickers are kiss-cut and ready to peel and use.

Can this kit be used for themes other than 'Dad Life'?

While the kit is specifically themed around 'Dad Life,' the basic design elements and colors can sometimes be adapted for other general family or masculine-themed projects with creative use of the components.

Where is this product made?

This product is made in the USA.

Troubleshooting

Stickers not adhering well

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or oils. Press firmly after application. For challenging surfaces, consider using a craft adhesive specifically designed for stickers.

Paper tearing during cutting

Use a sharp blade on your cutting tool (e.g., craft knife, paper trimmer, cutting machine). Cut slowly and steadily. Ensure the paper is lying flat and secured.

Colors fading over time

Store finished projects and unused materials in a cool, dark, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight, as UV rays can cause fading. The acid-free and lignin-free nature of the paper helps prevent degradation.
