Product Highlight: Burlap Paper and the Adhesive Cork Stack from DCWV

November 5, 2013

I love adding different textures into my paper and mixed-media craft projects. So when I got these amazing Cork Paper Stacks and Burlap Paper Stacks from DCVW, I was really interested in figuring out all the ways I could incorporate them into my crafts!  IMG_4549

Let’s take a closer look. These stacks are 6X6, and the Cork Stack is adhesive-backed and has 15 sheets, while the Burlap Paper Stack is NOT adhesive and boasts 24 sheets.

Cork and Burlap Stacks DCWV

The cork actually has a pretty smooth texture, while the burlap is actually a bit of open-weave. Both benefit greatly from the stabilizing aspect of the paper/adhesive backing.

I made you a video sharing some of the ways I tried out the Stacks:

One of the things I forgot to share in the video is how punches worked. For the Cork Stack, punches worked GREAT- even with fussy punches such as the Fiskars Intricate Shape Punch.

As for the Burlap Paper, not so much. It wouldn’t punch at all. Just thought I should warn you!

Here are those samples of stamping.

And the card I made:IMG_4525

So what do you think? Would you use Adhesive Cork or Burlap? I know that since it’s so much CLEANER to use the Burlap Paper, I’ll certainly use it in some of my fall/winter designs. And the cork? Well, I really love the texture and I know I’ll have no problems using up that stack!

Leave me your thoughts, too!

    Cute card! I like both but would likely use the cork more often.

    These would be really great for fall projects. I really like how the cork paper takes being stamped. Looks great.

    I’ve tried the cork and liked it, but I’ve never seen the burlap and now look forward to getting my hands on it! TFS your cute card and your great testing!

    Love that the cork is thin enough for punches; I had a sheet of cork that was just a tad too thick and I was so disappointed. I love to use burlap on my pages and would definitely make great use of both of these stacks. Also, LOVE your card-I happen to be a major squirrel-lover, so it made me smile! 🙂

    Do you think the Sillouette would be able to cut one or both of these?
