Troubleshooting
Paper tearing during cutting
Ensure your cutting tool (blade, scissors) is sharp. Use a cutting mat if using a craft knife. For cutting machines, verify the correct material settings are selected for heavy cardstock.
Adhesive not holding securely
Use a strong craft adhesive suitable for cardstock, such as double-sided tape, liquid glue, or adhesive runners. Ensure both surfaces are clean and dry before application.
Colors bleeding with wet mediums
While the paper is high-quality, heavy applications of very wet mediums like ink or paint may cause some slight bleeding. Test your mediums on a scrap piece first. Consider using a sealant or gesso layer for mixed-media applications requiring significant liquid medium use.
