Also referred to as vellum, this paper lets light and images through subtly to add a real flair to most any project!

The translucent papers make beautiful overlays for invitations and announcements. Use with our gatefold invitations and inserts to create a gorgeous ensemble. For this I used Chartham Shimmery Gold Dust 30#.
I was amazed at how beautifully the translucent paper took the embossing from an embossing folder.

When I am ready to create a quick gift for someone, I am overwhelmed by the options of mini albums, gift boxes, decorative home items and more. For several years, I’ve noticed some chipboard albums that are stacked by progressively longer pages used to spell out a word: Home, Mother, Father, etc. This week, while…
