FAQs

What is the weight of this cardstock?

The Sweet Dixie Premier Smooth White Card has a thickness of 250gsm.

Is this cardstock suitable for laser printers?

While compatible with most crafting techniques, it's always recommended to check your specific printer's manual for accepted paper weights and types. High heat from some laser printers might affect the cardstock.

Can I use this for digital scrapbooking backgrounds?

This is a physical cardstock and is not designed for digital use. However, you could scan it to create a digital texture if desired.

How does 'acid-free' benefit my crafts?

Acid-free paper prevents yellowing and degradation over time, ensuring your cards, photos, and other projects maintain their original appearance for years to come.

What does ISO 9706 compliance mean?

ISO 9706 is an international standard for paper permanence, indicating that the paper is designed to last for a long time without significant deterioration, making it suitable for archival purposes.

Can I use water-based markers on this card?

Yes, water-based markers can be used, but it's advisable to test on a scrap piece first, as heavy application might cause slight buckling. Using a lighter touch or less water is recommended.

Is this cardstock suitable for children's crafts?

Yes, it is suitable for children's crafts due to its durability and safety features (acid-free). However, supervision is recommended for young children when using sharp tools.

Troubleshooting

Die-cuts are not clean

Ensure your die-cutting machine is set to the correct pressure and that your cutting plates are in good condition. Experiment with adding an extra shim if needed.

Ink smudges when stamping

Allow stamped images to dry completely. For some ink types, a drying spray or heat tool may be beneficial. Ensure you are using inks suitable for smooth cardstock.

Cardstock tears when folding

Score the cardstock firmly using a scoring tool or the back of a craft knife before folding. Ensure the crease is made against the grain if possible, though this cardstock generally performs well.

Embossing results are faint

Ensure you are using a quality embossing paste or powder and that your embossing folder is correctly aligned and has sufficient pressure applied during the embossing process.
