Good luck!!
Thanks! Tested out a few commons tonight using varying amounts of water and a credit card to gently ease the paper off the back. Worked decently well with only minimal paper loss. Would still like to perfect it more before having a go at the big boys.

Thinking of trying a heat gun/hair dryer to sort of melt the glue and hopefully be able to get a credit card or something in between the scrapbook page and the back of the card with even less paper loss. Have any of y’all tried something like that?
