Product Information
Full details
This guide is for crafters and scrapbookers looking to add decorative and functional elements to their projects. The key benefit is the convenience of pre-die-cut, double-sided cardstock pieces featuring intricate Kaleidoscope Collection designs. A potential caveat is that the die-cut nature means designs are fixed, offering less customization than plain cardstock.

FAQs
What does 'cover weight' paper mean?
Cover weight paper is a heavier, thicker type of cardstock, similar to what is used for book covers. It provides durability and structure for crafting projects.
Are the designs on both sides different?
Yes, each sheet contains two distinct designs – one detailed imagery on the front and a coordinating pattern on the reverse.
Can I cut these pieces to a different size?
Yes, you can cut the die-cut pieces with sharp scissors or a craft knife if you need to alter their size or shape for your project.
What type of adhesive works best?
Standard craft adhesives like double-sided tape, glue sticks, liquid craft glue, or tape runners work well. Ensure the adhesive is suitable for cardstock.
Are the materials archival quality?
Yes, the papers are acid and lignin-free, making them suitable for archival scrapbooking and memory-keeping projects.
What collection are these pieces from?
These tags and pockets are part of the Kaleidoscope Collection by Graphic 45.
How many pieces are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 2 double-sided cardstock sheets with a total of 17 die-cut pieces.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive not holding the pocket securely
Ensure the surface you are adhering the pocket to is clean and dry. Use a strong craft adhesive suitable for cardstock, such as a tape runner, liquid glue, or adhesive dots.
Tag is too thick for desired application
While designed to be sturdy, if a specific application requires a thinner element, consider carefully cutting away any layered sections or using only one side of the cardstock if feasible. However, this is not recommended for maintaining the product's intended design.
Ink or color transfer to hands
This is unlikely with high-quality cardstock, but if it occurs, ensure the product is fully dry. Handle with clean hands and avoid excessive rubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-use craft embellishments. No assembly or setup is required beyond adhering them to your project using standard craft adhesives like glue sticks, double-sided tape, or liquid glue.
Compatibility: Compatible with most paper crafting projects, including scrapbooking, card making, journaling, altered art, and mixed media. Works well with other Graphic 45 products and coordinating collections. Can be cut further with scissors or craft knives if needed, though this may alter the die-cut aesthetic.
