You’re welcome @DianeB ! Oh I have no problem with adhesive vinyl on cardstock, the vinyl is more sticky than the carrier so you just need to place it kindly.
This is the second time I apply permanent vinyl on paper, I also made it in my board project, to make the clothesline. I had no idea myself if I could do that or if it was better using htv. But I consulted some good experts here and followed their advise to use adhesive and it worked like a charm, no ripping at all.
There’s always the chance to make a little test before, but I didn’t even do that, I made it directly in the project 
You can try yourself and let us know the outcome!
