What the AI looks for in Scrapbooking Die-Cuts
- Collection matching
- Buy die-cuts from the same brand and collection as your paper. Colors and print styles are coordinated within each collection.
- Acid-free and lignin-free
- Choose pieces labeled acid-free for album pages. Non-archival paper yellows and can damage photos over time.
- Cardstock weight
- Choose heavier cardstock pieces over thin paper. Thin die-cuts curl and wrinkle under adhesive.
Brands that matter
- Simple Stories: Collection-matched die-cut packs.
- Echo Park: Themed and seasonal ephemera.
- Doodlebug Design: Cute, kid-friendly die-cuts.
- Tim Holtz: Vintage Idea-ology ephemera.
- American Crafts: Broad embellishment range.
What to avoid
- Unlabeled bulk die-cuts with no acid-free claim for photo albums.
- Glitter or foil pieces placed directly against photos.
