Heavy ivory cardstock?
Does anyone know where I could find a heavy cardstock in the ivory, cream, off-white color scheme? I really love the quality of PaperTrey's white, if only they made an ivory. ;)

I couldn't agree more!! The heaviest I have found are either Beckett Expressions in Candlelight or Prairie 80#. This is similar to SU whisper white, or you could go with a metallic or irrdescent paper. I simply LOVE the Curious Iridescent 89 lb Cover weight POISON IVORY. It is like SU's Very Vanilla, but with a slight shimmer to it. It is beautiful!

I just got some Prismatics "Vanilla Cream" the other week. It's not quite as heavy as the Beckett, but I thought it was quite nice. Slight texture on one side, smooth on the other. (I picked it because it wasn't as 'yellow' as some ivorys are.)

Deb, tell us more about this paper, is this the prismatics that everyone is talking aobut? I think Cornish Heritage Farms sells it, right? I have heard really good things about this paper, might have to pick some up, if it is the same paper that is talked about.

If you have a paper supply store near you, they probably carry heavy card stock. The paper store near me has the same card stock Ellen Hutson has in her store ( by Neenah) but also in a heavier weight (80 lb and 110 lb). The store near me has it available by the sheet as well as by the ream. The Classic Cream is very similar to Very Vanilla. So anyway, thumbs up to Neenah Card Stock! __________________ *'*:�.-:�:-�*Katie*�-:�:-�:*'*

I'm not sure how much more I can tell you about it--my LSS carries this and Bazzill. If you get CardMaker magazine, they have a sample in the March issue. The texture on the one side is similar to a 'slightly' textured wall--one that's been painted several times with a roller. I haven't tried stamping on this paper yet--I'm using it more for the card or for layering. HTH |

you guys can order from Neenah direct...
( and if you buy one pack of cardstock or something) you can also order 4 sample packs for free...

I just want to suggest Neenah papers as well. I love the quality and the shades available. I get mine at Kelly Paper.

Wow!!! Thank you all for the fabulous responses. I'm going to try them all, because with all of your comments, I just can't decide which would be best. I knew I could count on all of you.
Thanks so much,
Linda
