Paper tears easily when cutting.
Ensure your cutting tool (e.g., scissors, craft knife, cutting machine blade) is sharp. Use a cutting mat to provide a stable surface and support.

Allow adhered elements to dry completely before handling. Ensure any applied mediums (like glue or sealant) are fully cured.
