Each bag of 8½ x 11 scraps is, as I like to say, uniquely unique. I purchased all of these exquisite papers at Aiko’s back in the ’80s and ’90s (the First Zaki Dynasty). The assortment is a binder’s dozen of 13 sheets: some solids, some simple patterns. Each selection also includes one sheet of sumptuous silver and one of gorgeous gold, plus a petite glassine almost overflowing with mini-scraps, ideal for sweet & discreet enclosures and for collage.

Nota bene: These sheets will come in xoxtremely handy paired with “More Art of the Handmade Envelope,” the new kit that will debut on Valentines Day.
