Default Curled up papers

I know I should probably research more forums before asking but I am so frustrated!! What do I do when I color or stamp and even after I have used heat and the paper still is curled? Is it the paper or just the stamper?

Help please!

If I've heated the front of the paper, and it's still curled, I flip it over and try heating the back. Most of the time, it works. If not, I stick it under a heavy book and that usually does the trick.

Do you mean you are spraying something or using a lot of a watery medium on the paper or cardstock? Just stamping and coloring (with anything besides very wet watercolor) shouldn't cause it to curl.

Cardstock can usually be dried as the others say by heating one side and it curls up, then flip it over and apply heat again for it to straighten out.

It really makes a difference what medium you're using on what surface.

Another vote for flipping it over and heating it up again. good luck!

I put mine under a heavy book also. Though when I splurge and us Gina K luxury white, it does not curl much at all.
