Vellum
In the world of papercrafting, sometimes what you don't see is just as important as what you do. Vellum paper offers a delicate, milky translucency that acts as a soft filter for your designs. It is the ultimate tool for crafters looking to add a layer of mystery, a touch of elegance, or a hushed, ethereal quality to their handmade cards and scrapbook layouts. And white vellum can be colored with ink pads!
FAQ
What is Vellum? It is a translucent, frosted specialty paper that adds a soft, airy look to your projects. It’s perfect for muting busy backgrounds, creating "windows," or adding elegant overlays to cards.
What is "White on White" Vellum? These sheets feature elegant white printed patterns (like swirls or dots) on the already translucent white vellum. It provides a subtle, layered texture that is very popular.
How do I glue it? Since vellum is translucent, it is really best to apply your glue stick, liquid glue behind an opaque element like a die-cut. And you do not need to apply glue all over your vellum. Just attaching the center of it usually works well.
Can I print on it? Yes, but because the surface is non-porous, the ink takes longer to dry. It's best to use an inkjet printer on a "transparency" or "photo" setting and let it sit for several minutes.
