FAQs
What does 'Timeless' refer to in this product name?
'Timeless' refers to the specific design theme of this Kaisercraft 12x12 foil paper, which features French style chic and flowers, aiming for an enduring aesthetic.
Can I use this foil paper with other Kaisercraft collections?
Yes, while designed for the Mademoiselle collection, its elegant theme allows it to be used with various other Kaisercraft collections or standalone for different projects.
Is the foil print on both sides of the paper?
No, this is a single-sided sheet, meaning the decorative foil design is only on one side.
How many sheets are included in one package?
One package contains ten 12x12 inch single-sided sheets, and all ten pages are identical.
Is this paper suitable for embossing?
While possible, the foil layer may react differently than standard cardstock. It's recommended to test embossing techniques on a scrap piece first.
Will photos fade if placed on this paper?
No, the paper is described as 'photo friendly,' meaning it is designed not to cause fading or damage to photographs over time.
Can I use liquid adhesives with this paper?
Yes, but use them sparingly to avoid the paper buckling or the foil becoming discolored. A thin, even layer is best. Consider using a tape runner or double-sided adhesive sheets for best results.
Troubleshooting
Foil smudging during use
Ensure your hands are clean and dry. Consider using cotton gloves for handling. Use appropriate adhesives and apply them carefully.
Paper curling
Store the paper flat in a protective sleeve or under a weight. Avoid exposure to humidity.
Difficulty cutting cleanly
Use a sharp cutting tool (blade, scissors, or die). For die-cutting machines, ensure the cutting plate is in good condition and consider using a shim if necessary.
