Default Which paper do you print on?

I'm taking a class where you use a Happy Planner as a scrapbook so I'm back into paper scrapping a bit again. I've used some card stock but it is so thick so I want to go more to a scrapbook paper. But I realized that I really like the designs here so I think I want to try more of a hybrid approach and print my own paper but I have no idea what type of paper I should use.

What kind of paper do you print on for your hybrid projects?

I like matte presentation paper. It's not as heavy as cardstock and colors are vivid.

Presentation paper is best hard or if you're wanting g to have it as a sticker you can print on sticker paper. away from my computer right now but I just did some stuff for my happy planner using my digi supplies.

Here is one I did last week using Flergs kit.

This is my weekly spread for this week using a kit by Becca.


This is an insert I made using a previous SSD collab.


I'm new to planning this year but enjoying it a lot! I use my silhouette.

I love the way those turned out. Thanks for sharing! I was able to pick up the paper tonight. Going to try it out tomorrow.

Those planner pages are amazing! I have big dreams in my head of making my own stickers and things, but just haven't dove in yet. You have inspired me to get going!

Well, those are amazing and indeed one of a kind planner pages. By the way, I always use Epson Matte Presentation Paper for its vibrant colors.

I use matte presentation paper or matte photo paper. I bought the photo paper in bulk a few years ago on Black Friday and still have tons of it. It's perfect for hybrid Project Life and I'm sure it would be great for planners too...it's just not double sided.

I have been using the Staples brand matte photo paper - it's a great weight and prints amazing in my Canon printer, plus it is available close by me so I don't have to order it.

I used to use Epson Matte Presentation paper, but then I discovered Neenah Classic Crest Cover Solar White 8-1/2x11 110lb 250/pk (Style 04456). It’s thick and perfect for printing embellishments or papers. I buy it for $52 on Amazon. A pack lasts a long time.

I am new to this, been a hybrid-er? since Jan and I love matte presentation paper. I am a cardmaker and I had to rethink my paper choice for hybrid TN layout printing. I think the colours are much more vivid with presentation paper.
