Wink Shimmery paper

Can someone please tell me where the best place is to go to for buying shimmery paper or card stock. SU is not shimmery enough.

Thanks

Judy

I get mine from my LSS, but I know that PTI also has some super shimmery CS.

I buy some pretty shimmery colors at Michael's. The colors are card stock and the white is paper.

Also, have you checked the Paper Temptress site? I keep hearing a lot of good reviews on Patricia's paper.

Paper and More has beautiful shimmery paper in many colors in addition to whites/neutrals and in cardstock or text weights......also they sell sample packs so you can see what the paper is like before you buy. They refer to this paper as metallic, but it's a shimmery pearl. And just fyi, lots of vellums, too.

Incredible customer service and fast and inexpensive shipping. I'm not affiliated in any way, just a very happy customer. I recently bought some sample packages and they upgraded my shipping to Priority and my total shipping charge was $1.00 !!

If you can't find what you're looking for you could also use Glimmer Mist to make your paper shimmer.

I bought one of Die Cuts With a View's Printed Glitter Mat Stack and the matching solid Mat Stack at Archiver's...VERY glittery! I loved it so much that I went back and bought two more. I have been using them exclusively on everything lately.

My Super Wal-Mart has a pack of 25 sheets of 12x12 shimmery paper for $8.99. It's pastels.

I bought some from paperpapers.com but I think some of it is the same as SU. Their colors look more shimmery though, maybe the same as papertrey?

Personally I think PTI's is more shimmery than SU. It stands out more when compared with each other.

I have a question - Does the Shimmer Spritz come out as a fine mist?
I have Glimmer Mist and I have to pour it into little misters because of the big droplets it causes. ALso, do any stores like Michales or Joannes carry the Shimmer Mist? I so want one in a white.
My LSS sells the Glimmer Mist as she invested in almost all of the colors thinking it would be a fast selling item - well its not as more than half of those bottles are still on the shelf a year later.

You can try Paper Plus. They have a website, but also have stores in various parts of the country. I bought pearlised and linen weave cardstock from a local? (40 miles away) store.

Good luck
