The Egyptian Gold scrapbook paper set offers a specific niche aesthetic for enthusiasts of ancient history. While marketed with a "gold" descriptor, tests indicate this is a printed matte color rather than a reflective foil or metallic leaf. The paper weight is approximately 80-100 GSM, which is similar to standard printer paper, making it more suitable for low-impact junk journaling than for heavy multimedia or decoupage projects where thicker cardstock is typically preferred.
Specifications indicate that this product is a glue-bound book, meaning individual sheets must be carefully cut out for use. Because the pages are double-sided, choosing one pattern requires sacrificing the design on the reverse side. The paper's medium-low opacity also means that high-intensity lighting may make patterns on the back slightly visible through the front. To maintain the best results, it is helpful to use dry adhesives, as wet glues or heavy mediums may cause the sheets to warp or curl.
The matte finish and lightweight nature of these sheets are designed to add visual interest to journals without adding excessive bulk to the binding.
If you are looking for a material that provides more physical texture and thickness, the Kakapops stiff felt sheets offer a durable, three-dimensional alternative for craft projects.
Organizing your creative materials is easier when you can see your full inventory, which is why many crafters browse the craft paper assorted sheets section to find the right weight and finish for their specific needs.
