I read Laura Evangeline's blog once in awhile and I see she has a shop. Just wondering if anyone has tried the cardstock? I like that they have matching colored envelopes too.
Hi! I ordered from Lilly Belle's Paperie a couple weeks ago, but my package is still in the mail (it's a long way from the US) but I can tell you that Laura is a wonderful person and everything went smoothly. I'm sure Laura would not sell anything she'd not use herself, so I'm looking forward to try the cardstock and other goodies.
I got mine very quickly. The paper looks nice and sturdy. The colored envelopes are fun. I haven't gotten a chance to play with it or compare colors to the other stuff I have though. Hopefully soon!
I just ordered some patterned papers from her, but am curious as well how her cardstock compares to GinaK and PTI. Her prices are very reasonable, esp with international shipping.

Laura is AWESOME....she has a keen eye at color matching, and her line of colors and coordinating products is above the rest!...She takes away all the guesswork ....LOVE her packaging...and her special touch! You will pleasingly surprised by her quality and SUPERIOR customer service!!
I did a quick check last night and some of the colors are VERY similar to SU's. I didn't get them all compared. The weight is heavier than the SU cardstock. Very nice.
The Ballerina is almost exact to Pink Pirouette.
The Cheeky seems just a tad brighter than Melon Mambo.
Tangerine is very close to the Peach incolor that is out. I can't think of the name.
The Spice is close to Tangerine Tango.
Grenadine is a bit richer than Real Red.
Daffodil is very close to Daffodil Delight.
Lemonade is very pale. There is not a comparable color from SU
The greens and blues seem a different, but there may be one or two that are close.
I'll get some pictures in good light tonight.
I think the cardstock it's very sturdy, more than SU!'s. I can't confirm in terms of weight, but it feels like my PTI cardstock in terms of thickness. Haven't tried it for stamping yet :p
thank you vz5dzh for your those comparison pics! I did a card with the stuff I got last time, I'll upload it as soon as I can. And I also ordered a sample pack, lol.
