Latch card question
 

I'm thinking I'm going to post to this forum and general stamping because even though I think my question belongs here, more people view the general discussion and I really need help.

I bought 3 coordinating sheets of awesome, retro paper at the local scrapbook store to make my daughter a very special graduation card. I thought a latch card (my first) would be very cool but now I'm thinking the paper wouldn't hold up after a series of open and closings. Do I need to make my card with just card stock or completely change my idea?
