How about printing on vellum, then mount it on paper?? I think velum looks lovely and adds a touch of class to projects. :-)

Didn't want to read and run but until I read this I didn't even know there were different grades :/ x

Slightly off toipic, but what is the best way to mount paper on to card?

Tape pens are brilliant!! So quick and easy. :-)
CommentAuthorSarah1865red
Never heard of tape pens but they sound good. Peeling the back off double sided tape frustrates me after a while!!! Can I ask where you get tape pens from?

350gsm paper (card) is like postcard material - if you print it on 350gsm silk you will get a professional finish but the problem with 350gsm stock is that its hard to get through a home printer. a high street printer will be able to sort you out though!

You should be able to get the tape pens from any good craft shop, the Range or Hobbycraft should have them?? Glue dots are good but think the tapes pens make it more secure?? Or, if you want it slightly raised you could use foam pads?? :-)
