Folded Tent Cards issue

[pencilcat]

I guess this is a technical issue. I’m making some of those cute little 3.5"x2" folded cards that you can make tent folds, or book folds with. I love them!

Here’s the issue: I need to use a white “line” element to cover up part of a rectangle that I don’t want to show. I’ve done this exact same design on literally every other card type and size available, flat and folded, with no problem. On these cards though, the “white line” shows up against the ‘bluish white’ background of the finished card (just the standard semi-gloss, like all the other cards). On all the other cards, any “white” element just blends in, even when you choose a different paper, like Kraft, or whatever.

Here’s what it looks like: Can you see the white line in the middle, beneath each image? This is how it shows in the ‘for sale’ space,

This is how it looks in the design space - totally fine. It doesn’t show at all.

So, what’s up with that?

@pencilcat  Not all card stock will react to your elements the same way I found

Here’s the front layer of the tent cards with no background color and a just a white line as per your example (minus the greenery of course)

If you put a white background color on the Outside Background layer

the whites marry together 

For this product - better to add a white background color if you don’t want that white line to appear

omg! Thank you! Why didn’t I think of that? I appreciate that a lot. (Still weird though that this is the only card it does this on.)

@pencilcat  not all paper products are equal (though some are more equal than others)
