We just came from Costco, and I made the mistake of wandering down the "stationery" aisle. I found a nifty zipped accordion type (plastic) file filled with 300 sheets of 12x12 designer cardstock - double sided. (As if I REALLY need more cs LOL!) The package is kind of short on specifics - it is called memoryStor, and it is fairly heavy DP. I hope it looks as pretty in daylight as it does tonight! Oh, yes - $20 for the DP and the tabbed case.
Oh you enabler you. ;) I may need to run by Costco tomorrow. I love that they usually have something different each time I go and they really are great deals. And I LOVE double sided paper!

I bought that paper, and regretted it when I got home. I didn't think the quality was good (thin paper, poor printing) and the designs weren't very pretty (imo). So, I returned it. I suggest that anyone interested check out the paper before buying. The accordion bag is cool though.

I bought this in December when I went to buy something else-of course. It's a very nice selection and good quality. Color wise, it tends towards darker and distressed. Very nice.
I really like the case it comes in. IMO it's worth $20 just for the case.
The patterns are appealing to me (yes they are primarily distressed) and I like the fact that it's double sided.
However I do NOT need 300 sheets!! If it is on clearance for $20 at my Costco then I might get it mostly for the storage case. I'll probably give 1/3 of the paper away to my other scrappy friends and my mom.
I bought this as well. I love that the paper is double sided. I don't like the design side of the paper, but the other side is perfect for card backgrounds. The paper has a white inner core. I ran some through the cuttlebug to emboss it and it looks fantastic.

Thanks for the heads up - I had not even noticed the white core. We are entertaining tonight, and since my stamping area is also the living/dining/kitchen area in the motor home, I had to do some serious cleaning, instead of looking at my new stuff LOL!
Good evening after I read all the remarks re the paper at Costco I took a ride over there to check it out!
I passed as I thought that the paper was a little too thin for what I need. The carrier was nice but that would be $29.99 for a carrier.....don't think so. So thats my two cents....
I've made the mistake of buying paper at Costco. Its really poor quality. I guess it would be good for some projects, but I'll pass from now on. I gave away all of my other Costco paper.

Although I agree in this case, I have purchased name brand papers (Rusty Pickle bundled with another brand) from Costco that was really great quality.

I was feeling very left out as we do not have a costco anywhere close to us, I was ready to run out and check it over, oh well. I, like many of us, do not need any more paper. I do like double sided paper though and the quality is relitive to what I want to use it for. Many times I like thinner paper as background layers, and the idea of running it thorugh an embossing folder appels to me, I bet I can find white core double sided paper in my stash. At least I have a little motivation to get out of my easy chair...LOL
I bought this paper too and I agree it is dark and thin and all that, but 300 sheets for less than 20 bucks when you include carrier? And I have already inserted some of the 12x12 I already have for storage...I have used it for flowers and accent in some cards I made for teachers at work and they are beautiful...I especially liked cutting "thanks" out on the cricut twice and insert the letters for "thanks in the opposite color allowing it to "peek" through thus I have a love color contrast. Really pretty!

Thanks for the idea. I have used the paper for several cards in my gallery, including a set of three.
