Great paper to the point of cutting

I loved it because the paper is great and feels high quality. I used it in a project on my Cricut and saw how thin the top layer of brilliant color was and how thick the plain white card stock underneath was. With each cut a corner or 5 of the inner white cardboard was sticking out which looked awful. Since my mom used to do this, I spent hours peeling the top layer off a few extra pieces, cutting them to a very small size, and gluing them over the white innards to mask them. Needless to say, I checked my project the next morning and halfway through, a little glue had seeped into the surface I was drying it on (a self-healing Cricut mat) and the gorgeous but thin top coat of paint had settled removed with the glue. I threw everything in the trash! So frustrating! I am now looking for a similar paper that is solid colored.

Pros
  • kraft paper
Cons
  • boring packaging
