There are a variety of cardstock styles and colors included in this Paper and Pen Medley from JAMPaper. Create a variety of paper projects with these paper and pen products!

Included in this medley is 50 sheets of Brite Hue Recycled Red cardstock, which is 65lb cover paper. This colored cardstock is acid free, archival, and made from water-soluble dyes, which makes it ideal for scrapbooking, photo frame projects, and mixed media art. This particular line of cardstock is also ecofriendly because it is made from 30% post-consumer materials.

If you have never used translucent vellum paper, you haven't been exposed to a world of paper crafting possibilities! Translucent vellum paper is also acid free, which is necessary for scrapbooking. Vellum is a fantastic material for making wedding invitations and layering paper for any projects. One great idea is to layer different vellum colors on patterned background paper to create lovely and unique colors and effects. Included in this medley is 3 sheets of Translucent Vellum Paper.

Strathmore paper is a thick, textured paper that is great for artists as well as paper crafters. Because it only comes in neutral colors, it is truly appropriate for any paper craft. Its versatility makes it one of JAM Paper's most popular products. This Strathmore paper is made with wind power, a renewable energy, so this paper is eco-friendly. The Strathmore Natural White Wove 24lb paper comes in packs of 100 sheets.

Another neutral paper that is excellent for paper crafting is Kraft paper. Its rustic color makes it great for vintage-style paper crafts, and the paper is complemented beautifully by neutral embellishments like twine and burlap. This Brown Kraft 100% Recycled Paper comes in a 28lb weight which works well for paper folding, printing, and general paper crafting.

You can use a variety of writing utensils to draw pictures or add text to these types of paper. For example, a black Le Pen is great for smooth writing, and its neutral color looks great with anything. Gel pens are also excellent for smooth writing because their ink is suspended in a water-based gel. Last, metallic Sharpie markers are excellent for writing on paper because their colors really stand out! You can write on dark paper as well as light paper with a metallic silver Sharpie marker, and the pigment will still be radiant!
