What Makes Scrapbook.com Cardstock Different

Not all cardstock is created equal and once you feel this, you will understand why.

Scrapbook.com Cardstock is:

  • Made in the USA with premium paper sourced from Sweden
  • Crafted from high-quality virgin pulp (100% pure wood fibers never recycled or processed)
  • Built with long fibers for strength and flexibility
  • Core-dyed for rich, consistent color all the way through
  • Colored with eco-friendly dyes
  • Acid-free and archival quality
  • FSC® certified: We believe in giving back more than we take. Our cardstock is thoughtfully sourced to ensure that for every tree harvested, at least two more are planted. With FSC® certification, you can craft with confidence knowing your paper supports biodiversity, indigenous rights, and the gold standard of responsible forest management.
