[@Arianna1308]

Hello Vikki, I love to make cards but I find very upsetting on the final stage. I am using cardstock but they dont flatten enough. I have try heat, weight down and still not having a nice flatten folden card. Any suggestions?

[@VikkiReed]

Hmmm, that’s frustrating? What “weight” is the cardstock? You could try a heavier weight. How watery (or liquid) is your paint? Perhaps causing buckling…still, even when I painted watercolor, I could flatten with a steam iron on the back (face down on a clean cloth). You might try a 90 lb. stock and try to use less moisture in your pigments. I sure hope that helps!

[@Arianna1308]

@@VikkiReed Maybe is because I glue painted copy paper on the cardstock? I use heavy cardstock. . Thank you for your response.

[@VikkiReed]

@@Arianna1308can you print directly on heavier copy paper? I have the best results with HP Premium 32. If your copy paper is less than 32 lb or 24 lb, yes, it’s going to buckle and ripple. You WILL get this! I trust you

[@Arianna1308]

@@VikkiReed Thank you very much. Will get this paper.
