I didn't know Altenew paper packs were so beautiful! These have a very smooth finish almost shiny...not sure how to describe it. And there are more than enough sheets of each design that you won't worry about using them up. The florals in this pack especially, make it so quick to make beautiful cards!

These are beautiful papers. They coordinate well with the various inks and can be used as a background or layering. Can be used to make a quick and beautiful card in a pinch!

The papers are very sturdy and thick. The colors are very bold and vibrant. The paper is both matte and glossy on the same page. The whites of the paper are matte and the printed part of the paper has a gloss. They will make beautiful cards and scrapbooks.

Must have and got it in sale!!!! Win, Win.

In one word, "Vibrant"! The colors pop and the patterns add to the fun. The paper weight is perfect for all types of paper crafts and last but not least, the smooth finish is the "icing on the cake". I plan to use some of the papers in a gatefold card.
