FAQs
What types of textures are included?
The pad includes assorted styles such as colourful crochet, embossed, and quilted textures, alongside neutral textured designs.
How many sheets are in each pad?
Each pad contains 24 unique double-sided sheets.
Can I use this paper with a die-cutting machine?
Yes, the paper is compatible with most die-cutting machines. It's recommended to use a sharp die and potentially a shim if encountering difficulty with thicker textures.
Is the paper acid-free?
While not explicitly stated, paper intended for scrapbooking and crafting is often acid-free to preserve photos and projects. For critical archival purposes, it's always best to look for explicit 'acid-free' labeling.
How should I store the paper to maintain its texture?
Store the paper flat in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to preserve its texture and color.
Can I paint or distress this paper?
Yes, you can paint or distress the paper. However, due to the textured nature, results will vary. Test on a small corner first to see how your chosen medium interacts with the surface.
Troubleshooting
Paper tears easily when cut
Use a sharp craft knife or rotary cutter with a fresh blade for cleaner cuts. Apply gentle, even pressure.
Adhesive does not stick well to textured surface
Use a strong craft adhesive designed for textured surfaces. For heavily embossed areas, apply adhesive to the flatter sections or use a thicker glue.
Ink or markers bleed through the paper
Test your inks and markers on a small, inconspicuous area first. Consider using a primer or sealant if significant bleeding occurs, or reserve these papers for elements where ink saturation is minimal.
