A few tips!

Paper - Use a white card stock or something with a little more weight than standard printing paper. Our top economy tip is to buy a cartridge block pad and trim down the pages to fit your printer. The paper is usually just the right weight (of 120gsm) and has a lovely matt texture. (N.B Please check your printer settings first!)

Printer - we use a Canon ip2702, so no need for anything fancy! One little word of warning though, with our old Epson printer we found that the ink could resist a few splashes. However, the Canon ink is not at all water resistant so if your using a similar model don't go throwing your drinks around. On the plus side the Canon inks are a little more vibrant and the print quality is excellent.

Scissors - we recommend scissors for most of our paper crafts, as we find scissors are much easier to handle than a craft knife (at least on curves) and most people have them at hand. If you feel comfortable with a craft knife, go for it!

Scoring folds or creases - You can use the back of a butter knife to score folds before putting together your kit.

Glue - a regular stick glue is fine for most Happythought paper crafts!
