If the paper pattern is light, often it won’t be too noticeable.For solid core cardstock,&nbsp;Recollections 65 lb. cardstock&nbsp;is a crafter-favorite.&nbsp; When you bend it into envelopes, lids, or other embellishments, there is no white showing on the edges.It’s also available at most craft stores such as Michael’s or Hobby Lobby.Most of the pop-up cards and explosion box elements use&nbsp;8.5 x 11 cardstock.A few projects, such as the large envelopes to send pop-up cards in, use&nbsp;12×12 cardstock.Glitter card stock&nbsp;&nbsp;Looking for some REALLY special cardstock?&nbsp; Check out the 12×12 Cardstock Shop for every type of paper imaginable!!&nbsp;&nbsp;Lots of papers are available as individual sheets too, so you don’t have to commit to an entire package.&nbsp; Just choose the prettiest ones!This is my favorite pack so far!&nbsp;&nbsp;The Little Black Pack Mixed Media Variety Pack includes &nbsp;Try everything, including smooth and textured cardstock, glitter cardstock, embossed cardstock, mirror cardstock, and more.&nbsp;Reverse tweezers&nbsp;make it SO much easier to pick up, glue, and place small cardstock pieces.Use a bone folder to burnish over your score lines to get a sharp fold.Use a brayer to adhere the cardstock to the mat before cutting with a Cricut.It makes a huge difference!The paper is much less likely to rip when a brayer is used.I have both the Cricut brayer and the&nbsp;Speedball soft rubber&nbsp;brayer; I’m always setting them down in the wrong place so I just have two.I use my paper trimmer often so I can cut multiple colors of card stock on the same Cricut cutting mat.&nbsp;&nbsp;Use a Cricut scraper&nbsp;to keep your mat free from debris; clean it with baby wipes too.The scraper is also used to gently pry the paper away from the mat.This&nbsp;whole toolset&nbsp;is great to have:&nbsp;– scissors are small and sharp to trim small details&nbsp;– tweezers are used to place small details or grab the insides of letters when weeding&nbsp;– hook weeding tool is used constantly if you use any type of vinylThe original Cricut Maker is more budget-friendly than the newer model, but still has the tools so you can engrave, deboss, and perforate.The Maker also cuts thick material with the knife blade and fabric with the rotary blade.The Cricut Maker 3 is the latest model.&nbsp; It’s supposed to cut faster, but it always measures the entire mat (usually twice) so you have to wait to finally press the “Go” button. It is able to cut without a mat if you use Cricut’s Smart Materials.Like the original Maker, it has tools so you can engrave, deboss, and perforate.It also cuts thick material with the knife blade and fabric with the rotary blade.I love my&nbsp;Explore Air!It’s actually my favorite for paper crafting.&nbsp; It doesn’t have all of the extra options the Maker does, but it has everything needed to cut and score paper.&nbsp; It doesn’t measure the mat so it’s actually quicker than the Maker 3.Blue LightGrip cutting matGreen Standard cutting matThe Cricut Maker uses the&nbsp;Scoring Wheel and Housing&nbsp;to create score lines.&nbsp;The Scoring Stylus is used with the Explore family; use it in the Maker to save time switching between tools.I love my&nbsp;Epson Expression Photo HD Wide Format printer!&nbsp;Its photo prints are just beautiful, and&nbsp;you can even print on A3 paper.Print out any photo to the correct size and shape yourself. This&nbsp;water-resistant, vinyl glossy sticker paper&nbsp;is perfect for photos and stickers for explosion boxes.&nbsp; You can even take it off and reposition the sticker without tearing it.** Printing on this paper is my preferred&nbsp;method of getting photos off your phone and into cards or explosion boxes. I also love making stickers with it.&nbsp; Grab two! **If you need photo paper immediately, you can pick up the Pen&amp;Gear brand at Walmart.It’s just $8 for 50 sheets so it’s super budget-friendly.#1 –&nbsp;Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced Crafting GlueThis glue is the best.&nbsp; It allows you to slide the paper around to the exact position you want and it doesn’t wrinkle the paper AT ALL.It’s similar to rubber cement, so it does create some “strings” of glue.#2 –Bearly Art Precision Craft GlueThe precision tip is perfect for tiny cardstock pieces.Beacon Zip Dry Paper GlueIt dries quickly and doesn’t wrinkle the paper.Elmer’s Craft Bond Clear Glue Pen&nbsp;This works really well for small pieces and only wrinkles the paper slightly.Tombow Multi Liquid Glue Dual TipMichael’s recommended this glue and it’s pretty good.&nbsp; Use the fine tip and it will barely wrinkle the paper.Art Glitter GlueIt’s super popular among crafters, but in comparison to the other glues, it wrinkles the cardstock more than any other glue.&nbsp; (I was very surprised with this result.)Aleene’s Turbo Tacky GlueThis is another frequently used and easy-to-find glue.FYI – An easy-to-read printable shopping list is available in the&nbsp;Free Files Folder.&nbsp; It’s download #73
