Default Uses for Neenah 24 lb paper - ???

Hello,

In error I purchased (on line) 24 lb Neenah paper for Copics. I meant to buy 80 lb. As many of you probably know, 24 lb paper is thin and not suitable for Copic blending etc. Does anyone have any special uses for the 24 lb Neenah paper or should I just use it up as plain white paper ?

Thanks for your suggestions !

I like to use it for inside of dark paper cards.

It is also great for making your own designer paper. Just color with Distress inks or stains and stamp with background stamps to create paper to color coordinate with whatever card or project you are working on.

And if you didn't have a suitable sentiment ...

It will probably go through your printer better than heavier weights so could be used for printing sentiments or quotes etc. that can be trimmed or diecut for the inside of cards.

I bought a ream of Neenah Linen paper to line my cards and to make envelopes with. And as TeeGeeDee mentioned, it's also great for printing sentiments and using for the inside of your cards.

You could use it to make the lined pages of a handmade journal.
