I want to use thick shimmer paper to make fancy mailing labels for wedding invitations. I am not sure if I would cut them out first (with a large paper punch) or if I would want to make the whole page a sticker, then punch them out. My question is,...

The answer is "yes". However, peeling off the backing may be more difficult if you punch before you peel. Why don't you experiment with a 6 x 6 inch piece of paper to see how it would work. Also, the thickness of your paper might (or might not-again, experiment) affect how well the labels will go through the mail.

I just used my inkjet printer. The colors come out very vivid. I don't have the silhouette machine. I think you might want it for intricate cutouts but I just scissors or a ruler and a razor knife. You need to be sure your ink is completely dry before handling the labels. I also used either spray or brush on clear oil based polyurethane because I was putting the stickers on tile around the sink in the kitchen. I wanted the tiles to stand up to washing so I used 3 coats and baked each coat on. I did not do the clear coating on other labels I made.

I found it to be thick, yes, very comparable to Wedding Paper Divas paper. I haven't used shutter fly in quite some time but I do think it was actually a bit thicker. It is very high quality, I was very impressed. It bends but stays stiff to a light touch. I wouldn't recommend printing photos on it because there is a lot of obstruction from the shimmer. I used it to make signs at my wedding "sign guest book," "drink special," and the likes of that and they looked beautiful!I hope that helped, I'm sorry I'm not more familiar with shutter fly paper.

What I can tell you is that recently, we had to make up table place cards for a wedding rehearsal dinner. The place cards are sold 6 on an 8 1/2 x 11" sheet with perforations along the edges of each card to remove each card after printing is completed. I selected the thick paper setting and ran off approximately 5-6 sheets at a time. The names and table nos came out fine. I do not recall what thickness (mil) the place cards were but you can check out Staples or Office Depot - The printer works fine at least for place card thicknesses.

These are actually plastic folders that you place the cardstock or paper or whatever you want to emboss into and run it through an embossing machine like a Cuttlebug or Sizzix. HOWEVER....I think you could try placing what you want to emboss on the one side of the folder and use a stylus or embossing tool to push into the indentations to create an embossed look....NOPE....sorry...I just tried it and it DIDN'T work so well because I couldn't see where the design was to know where to push the stylus. You definitely need to use an embossing machine.

We bought these to use at my daughter's wedding. We used stickers on them. I think with the right ink you could stamp on them but it will be difficult as they are curved.

I have a print shop and have used just about every weight of this paper! The text weight isn't great, it is only a bit thicker than copy paper and dents really bad and easily! With the cardstock, try to stay around 88lb or 92lb because some of their shimmer papers over 100lb won't run through even my best printers.

The circle on the box is a sticker with an initial on it. I am getting married but instead of the initial I am going to put a "thank you" sticker on it. I am going to buy them from Walmart, Micheals or somewhere. As far as thickness, I would say you can compare them to cardstock. They are a little "flimsy" but when you wrap the ribbon and charm around it, it is fine.. Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase and it is a heck of a deal and "A LOT" cheaper than some other places I've look. ALSO, THE PLACE CARD TABS DO NOT COME WITH IT. (going to walmart for those.) Hope this helps you.

You stamp the design flower you want on a pretty piece of paper and then punch it out. The punch is just the general shape. What makes it pretty is the stamp you use and the pretty paper you use.

We use this for greeting card-style invites for a large party every year - we send out around 200 invites. We print on front and back of each piece, cut them in half, and fold. So, *yes* - you can use it for greeting cards.

Use Strathmore Stamping cards to mount my pictures since I like the paper wt and quality. Tried Avery for slightly larger size. Liked quality & weight of paper. Each sheet gives you 2 cards. Crisp clean lines and set folds makes for easy use. Card stock quality. Good luck. Marie :)

Doesn't work so well with cardstock or photopaper. Usually there is a setting that tells the printer the paper is heavier or glossy but I can't find it if there is. When using cardstock, the print comes out spotted and streaked.

We purchased this paper to make window stars. We cut the paper in squares and folded them and assembled them into stars. The translucent paper allows you to see the designs within the stars when they are held up to the light. They are very neat! I'm not sure about the vellum paper.

I don't know how a craft punch would work. For my project of advertising an art show, I drew the letters in reverse on the back of the contact paper using stencils, then cut out the letters with scissors. The letters have stayed adhered to my truck.

Depends on the paper you are using. Standard copy paper? Yes. Cardstock, no. I was using 40lb gloss paper and it did not bleed through.

Hi Sammy. Depends on what you want to do. I would practice with normal paper first and when you are reday for the final origami item you are trying to do, then use this foil paper. It works great for doing dragons....
