Whatever holds them down to the paper should be water soluble.

If you've never done this, you'll be reluctant to try it...

With scissors, cut out a card, with a margin of scrapbook paper. Run tap water in a glass. Run tap water on your card, then put the card in the glass. After 2 or 3 hours, or so, check on it, to see if the card is loosening. Once it floats off, gently wash it under tap water to remove residual glue, GENTLY rub with your finger. Lay on a paper towel and blot. Let air dry for half an hour or so, then you can put it between a few sheets of paper and under some phone books or encyclopedias.

In the old days, guys would tear the scrapbook sheets out, put them in the bathtub, and float them off overnight.

Try it with one card to remove your anxiety.

If you're super paranoid you could hire someone. (Hire me!) Or, you could used distilled water. But truthfully, that is a waste of money and effort. Tap water will work fine.
