FAQs
What are the dimensions of the paper sheets?
The product description does not specify exact dimensions, but paper stacks like this are typically standard scrapbook paper size, often 12x12 inches or 8.5x11 inches. Please refer to the product packaging or retailer for precise measurements.
How many sheets of paper are included in total?
The stack includes 24 unique prints, with 2 sheets of each print, totaling 48 sheets of paper.
Is the paper suitable for laser or inkjet printers?
While the paper is designed for crafting, it is generally compatible with most home inkjet printers. For laser printers, especially those that use high heat, testing on a scrap piece is recommended to avoid potential damage to the foil or paper.
Can I cut the paper with scissors?
Yes, the cardstock paper can be easily cut with standard craft scissors or a paper trimmer.
What does 'archival safe and acid-free' mean for my projects?
Archival safe and acid-free means the paper will not degrade, yellow, or damage photographs and other materials it is in contact with over time, ensuring the longevity of your preserved memories.
How do I clean the paper if it gets dirty?
It is best to avoid direct cleaning with liquids. If a small smudge occurs, try gently brushing it off with a clean, dry cloth or a craft eraser. For significant dirt or stains, the affected sheet may need to be replaced.
Are the foil accents on both sides of the paper?
No, the product description states that 1/2 of the prints have foil on cardstock, indicating the foil is applied to one side of the cardstock sheet.
Troubleshooting
Cutting machine not cutting cleanly through the cardstock.
Ensure you are using the correct 'cardstock' or 'heavy paper' setting on your cutting machine. You may need to increase the blade depth or pressure, or consider using a new, sharper blade. For intricate cuts, try a 'print then cut' function if available.
Adhesive not sticking well to the paper.
Use a strong crafting adhesive designed for cardstock. For areas with foil, ensure the adhesive is applied evenly and consider using a liquid glue or double-sided tape for better adhesion.
Ink from pens or stamps bleeding on the surface.
Test your ink or marker on a small, inconspicuous area or a scrap piece of the same paper first. Some inks may absorb differently on the foil-treated areas versus the standard cardstock.
