Congratulations on your purchase of cardstock art! To ensure that your artwork stays in great condition for years to come, please follow these simple care instructions:

• Handle with care: Cardstock is a sturdy material, but it can still be easily creased or bent if not handled carefully. When moving or storing your art, be sure to hold it by the edges or use a protective sleeve or folder.

• Keep away from moisture: Cardstock is not waterproof, and exposure to moisture or high humidity can cause it to warp or buckle. To prevent this, keep your art in a dry location and avoid hanging it in damp areas like bathrooms or basements.

• Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause cardstock to fade or yellow over time. To protect your artwork, hang it in a location that receives indirect or diffused light, or use UV-filtering glass or acrylic to protect it from harmful rays.

• Dust regularly: Like any artwork, cardstock can accumulate dust and dirt over time. To keep it looking its best, gently dust the surface of your art with a soft, clean cloth or feather duster as needed.

By following these simple care instructions, you can help preserve the beauty and quality of your cardstock art for years to come.

Congratulations on your purchase of a canvas artwork! Canvas is a durable material that can withstand the test of time, but it does require proper care and maintenance to ensure its longevity. To keep your canvas artwork looking its best, please follow these simple care instructions:

• Handle with care: While canvas is a sturdy material, it can still be easily damaged if not handled with care. When moving or storing your artwork, be sure to handle it by the edges or use a protective sleeve or covering.

• Keep away from moisture: Canvas is not waterproof, and exposure to moisture or high humidity can cause it to warp or mold. To prevent this, keep your artwork in a dry location and avoid hanging it in damp areas like bathrooms or basements.
