Paper & More/DIY stuff

I have to recommend something i received from paper and more.

I wanted a pretty metallic paper which I could use with my inkjet printer and surprisingly the Kunzite #105 cardstock worked amazingly with my Brother multi function printer.

I also ordered the gold sample of the same size cardstock and this one was a bit more softer --so when I printed a sample it looked smudged on some areas--so I would recommend getting a few different colors to try out.

Metallic

Im using the paper for my menus and they look so beautiful!!!

Im also using 65lb cardstock in Orchid for place cards --this paper is great too- perfect for place cards.

This is paper im using for prog- Pink

Edit: Added pics of the other DIY stuff-- but its horrible quality bec my cam phone sucks!

Re: Paper & More/DIY stuff

I added the pics of the other diy stuff but the pics really arent good-- the programs are light pink but look darker in pic, and place card is light purple and have 2 purple rhinestones.

Re: Paper & More/DIY stuff

I was wondering if the metallic paper is good for programs, did you have any issues? I really love the champagne pearlescent color and I wanted to use that for Programs and Menus..

Let me know. TIA
