Product Information
Full details
The Bazzill Basics Half the Edge collection is designed for scrapbookers, card makers, and paper crafters who want to add professional-grade decorative borders to their projects without the time-consuming process of manual cutting. These pre-cut, high-quality Bazzill cardstock strips offer a consistent, textured finish to any layout; however, users should note that the fixed 6-inch length may require piecing together strips for larger 12-inch scrapbook pages.

FAQs
Are these strips acid-free?
Yes, Bazzill cardstock is archival quality and acid-free, making it safe for long-term photo preservation.
Can these be used with a die-cutting machine?
They are already pre-cut, but you can certainly use them in conjunction with die-cuts to create layered border designs.
What is the weight of the cardstock?
These utilize standard-weight Bazzill cardstock, which is sturdy enough to maintain its shape while remaining flexible for layering.
Can I paint or ink these strips?
Yes, the high-quality cardstock surface accepts pigment inks, chalks, and watercolors well.
Are there other colors available?
This specific pack is limited to the Parakeet green shade, though other colors are available in the broader Half the Edge collection.
Troubleshooting
Strip ends do not reach across a 12-inch layout
Overlap two strips by approximately 0.5 inches and use a small embellishment, like a button or sticker, to hide the seam.
Adhesive showing through the delicate edge
Use a fine-tip liquid glue pen to apply adhesive only to the thicker, non-decorative portions of the strip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required for these strips; they arrive ready for immediate application. To achieve the best results, use a precision craft adhesive to ensure the thin decorative edges lie flat against your base page. For longevity, store the strips in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the parakeet green pigment from fading over time. They are compatible with all standard acid-free scrapbooking adhesives and can be trimmed further with scissors if a custom length is required for smaller tags or party favors.
