Stampin’ Up – Shine On Paper Pack

Stampin’ Up – Shine On Paper Pack –  Review and Giveaway

I have a confession … I love paper. I have a collection that is as tall as I am of 12 x 12 paper and I add to it constantly. I learned early on that I was going to have have a problem with paper. The hardest time I have had is when I was forced to store my paper in a outdoor shed. I worried whenever it rained, and wondered if my coveted collection would be water logged.

It took a couple years, and the acquisition of a house with a dedicated craft room, that I was able to reclaim my paper collection. Despite being in a non-water proofed shed, my paper survived and when all was said and done I had very little loss of paper. Since I now have a craft room and a home for my paper I am constantly adding to it, and expanding my collection.

It probably goes without saying, but when I head that Stampin’ Up wanted a little help getting the word out about their “Shine On Specialty Designer Series Paper” and were also willing to give one away, I jumped at the chance!

The products featured in this post were provided to me free of charge courtesy of My Paper Pumpkin/Stamping Up, but this in no way will influence the review to follow and all opinions are my own.

The Shine On Specialty Designer Series Paper is a 12 x 12 paper that is 12 sheets with 2 designs per sheet that are double-sided!

My favorite thing about this paper is the versatility and the fact that is coordinates with other Stampin’ Up items. The colors that it coordinates well with are colors such as Bermuda Bay, Cucumber Crush, Kraft, Silver and Watermelon Wonder. The reason these coordinate so well is because these are the colors that are on the various pages.

Each of the sheets are printed on a kraft paper that is acid and lignin free, which makes them archival safe. This paper is really nice and very strong, it is a little thicker than your typical cardstock and would be a perfect base for a card.
