Scrapbook Paper Commonly Asked Questions
What Thickness (gsm) Should My Scrapbook Paper Be?
The thickness of your scrapbook paper will depend on what you are using it for. If you are going to be doing a lot of layering, then you will want to use thicker paper (80-100 gsm). However, if you are just using it for journaling or light embellishments, then a thinner paper (60-70 gsm) will be fine. Most paper intended for scrapbooking is already the perfect thickness for your project!
What Size Should My Scrapbook Paper Be?
The standard size for scrapbook paper is 12×12 inches. However, you can also find paper that is 11×14 inches or even smaller (mini albums). It depends on what size album you are using and what you plan on doing with the paper. If you are unsure, it’s always best to err on the side of too much paper rather than too little!
Can I Use Regular Printer Paper for My Scrapbook?
Yes, you can use regular printer paper for your scrapbook! However, it is not as durable as scrapbook paper and is more likely to tear or fade over time. Acid-free papers are best for scrapbooking. If you want your scrapbook to last a long time, we recommend using scrapbook paper.
