Happy Canada Day!

A few weeks ago Paper-Garden.ca invited me to participate in their Canada Day Cards event and sent me a wonderful sampler pack of some of their red and white papers. I have been playing with the paper and a few observations about the samples that I got are: - they came in Cover Weight (which is a medium weight cardstock), 105lb cover weight (a heavy cardstock) and Text Weight (which is a light weight cardstock). - All cut nicely on the Circut and go thru the Cuttlebug with ease - A few of the samples are Metallics! with a light sparkly sheen to the paper. - Names of the paper samples I received are Curious Metallics Ice Silver, Stardream Crystal, Aura Solar White, Curious Metallic Red Lacquer, Aura Scarlet Linen, Basis Red, Aura Red, and Pop-Tone Wild Cherry - My only complaint about the paper is the Metallics do not hold ink well. I tried stamping in both Dye and Pigment inks and both took a considerable length of time to dry. I checked the dye ink over a few days an
