Default DCWV Glitter Stack

Has anyone purchased this paper? I bought the Glitter Stack at Joann's last week and accidentally left it in my car overnight. When I opened the door to the car the next day I was greeted with a horrible chemical odor. My car stunk for 2 days. I have to keep this paper in the garage or it smells up whatever room it is in. Has anyone else noticed an odor with this paper? I assume it is from the glue that adheres the glitter to the paper.

Ooh, I have that paper - I think it is soooo pretty. No smell that I've noticed but I haven't overheated it either. Thanks for the warning!

Bought this last week at Hobby Lobby at 50% off. It is beautiful! And no smell here either. That is weird!

Cool Horrid Toxic Chemical Smell

Ordered online a few months, maybe even a year ago -- the smell was seriously hazardous. But I thought I could air it out somehow. Each time I remembered it (in a drawer by itself) it still stunk and made me ill. It never wore off. So tonight, I had to try it again (you can't say I give up easily) and I had to wash my hands and rinse my mouth out - it's that BAD!!!! It's now outside getting closer to the garbage can, about 15 feet away. If it still stinks tomorrow, adios paper pack. I highly doubt the smell will be gone... Am never buying from them again.

Mine smells a little, but not enough to smell up the whole room. It shouldn't be that bad. I would contact the company.

Now my Scotch ATG refills, on the other hand . . . . I have to leave those out of the box for a week before I can use them.

Wow, I'd toss it in a heartbeat! Paper shouldn't do that. Is it made in China? If so, who knows what's in the glitter or the adhesives that adhere it to the paper.
I avoid DCWV paper anyway, it's mostly not to my taste and the glitter makes a real mess.

Default I wrote DCWV and thew the thing out

Thanks everyone. I wrote them the UPC code and another number - it IS made in China, and it still stinks to high heaven. Into the garbage. I live in Hawai'i and shipping here can be atrocious so this is a loss for me.

Very best to all,
Rosy

I don't buy DCWV that has glitter on it, just for this very reason. Cannot stand the smell!
