Scrapbook Paper | Joann
Our single-sided patterned scrapbook paper brings vibrant designs to your memory keeping and paper crafts. Each 12×12 inch sheet features high-quality printing on premium cardstock that holds up to adhesives, die-cutting, and embellishments without bleeding or warping.
We offer hundreds of patterns across every theme — florals, geometric, seasonal, travel, and celebration designs that coordinate perfectly with our scrapbook collections. The smooth finish accepts ink, markers, and stamps beautifully while the sturdy 65lb weight prevents show-through when layering.

Paper Weights & Finishes
We carry three standard cardstock weights to match your project needs. Our 65lb patterned paper works beautifully for album pages and card fronts where you want vibrant designs without excessive bulk.
Choosing the Right Weight
The 80lb solid cardstock provides structure for mats, borders, and die-cut shapes that need to hold their form when layered. For dimensional accents and card bases, our 110lb heavyweight cardstock delivers professional rigidity that stands up to repeated handling. All weights feature smooth finishes that accept wet and dry media without buckling, while textured specialty papers add visual interest to featured elements.
Acid-Free Archival Quality
Every sheet of Joann scrapbook paper meets archival standards to protect your photographs and memorabilia for generations. Our acid-free and lignin-free manufacturing process prevents the yellowing and brittleness that destroy precious memories over time.
We test every paper collection for photo-safe chemistry before it reaches our stores. The buffered pH levels neutralize environmental acids, while lignin-free pulp eliminates the wood compounds that degrade both paper and photographs. Whether you’re preserving century-old family photos or today’s digital prints, our archival papers create a stable environment that museum conservators trust for long-term storage.
Sizes & Compatibility
Our standard 12×12 inch sheets fit all traditional scrapbook albums and page protectors without trimming. We also stock 8.5×11 inch paper for smaller albums and printer-friendly projects, plus 6×6 and 8×8 inch pads sized perfectly for card-making.
Project Compatibility
Every paper size coordinates across our pattern families, so you can mix scales within the same color story. The consistent cardstock thickness across sizes means your die-cutting machines cut cleanly without adjusting settings. Pre-scored cards and envelopes complement our paper collections for complete stationery projects, while specialty shapes arrive pre-cut for quick embellishments when time is short.

Our 8.5×11 inch cardstock runs through inkjet and laser printers when kept within the recommended weight limits for your specific printer model. Most home printers handle 65lb paper easily, while heavier 80lb stock may work best with manual feed trays.
Test a single sheet first to ensure smooth feeding and proper ink adhesion. The smooth finish accepts digital printing clearly, making our cardstock perfect for custom photo mats, journaling cards, and printed embellishments that coordinate with your scrapbook layouts.
