Vellum

Vellum is not a new product to the craft market by any means, but this product has been making a comeback into the paper-craft world as a new trend, especially in card making.

- Kimber McGray

Vellum is a paper that was originally made out of calfskin instead of pulp like traditional paper. Vellum is a translucent or semitransparent paper that can be printed on, stamped on, torn and manipulated much in the same way as regular paper and transparencies. It’s a great product to use in place of either paper or transparencies.

The Basics With Vellum

Standard vellum is white, but you can also find it in different colors and even printed with designs. There are specialty vellum papers that even have great foil and glitter finishes applied to them. In a nutshell, what you can find in traditional paper, you can find in vellum.
