Hi, Vera. Your four best directions are for your directions to sit and sleep and for personal activations, like the activation cards or anything you want to put out to manifest that is something specific for your personal success, health, relationships, and wisdom.
Activating the general space feng shui, like East for health or Southwest for romance is not related to your personal best directions.You activate all of those generically, regardless of your personal energy number, and those activations apply equally to everyone in the home.
Yes, you can use your own paper for the cards. Try to get a neutral buff color for the paper.
