Tips & Techniques
Using Both Sides
Every sheet is double-sided, so lay them out before you cut to choose the best combinations.
Layering
Use busier patterns as backgrounds and calmer ones as mats, so photographs and stickers stand out.
Stickers
Plan the sticker placement before peeling. Place the larger stickers first, then fill in with the smaller ones.
Cardstock Weight
The cardstock layers, cuts and folds well. For card bases, score before folding for a crisp edge.
Dimension
Lift key pieces with foam pads for extra depth on cards and layouts
