Plus, Vellum accepts ink beautifully, allowing for crisp and vibrant prints with your Cricut machine. Here are a few reasons why Vellum should be on your crafting radar:

1. Versatility:

Perfect for everything from wedding invitations to gift tags. Its unique texture and look make it suitable for versatile projects.

2. Transparency:

Creates a layered, almost three-dimensional effect that adds depth and Aesthetics.

3. Durability:

Unlike some more delicate papers, Vellum holds up well under the Cricut blade.
