Question GinaK cardstock

I've been thinking of placing an order for some cardstock from GinaK. How does her ivory color compare to SU very vanilla? I ordered some envelopes from her and they were very nice.Thanks for any help you could give me.

I have both so I compared them. GinaK's is much more thicker. It is also lighter than the SU very vanilla which seems to have a pinkier tone than Gina's. Gina's also has a nicer feel to the paper. My next purchase of cardstock is to get only GinaK's next time.

I use GinaK heavy weight cardstock for pretty much ALL my card bases. I have not used a color yet that I don't love. The ivory is a true ivory, and one of my favorites is the chocolate kiss - it is such a deep rich brown. You can't go wrong with any of her cardstock, plus she offers great assortment packs so you can try out different colors without buying a full pack of each.

I use Gina's for all of my card bases and love them. I only use my SU ivory and white for card inserts because it's way too flimsy to hold any layering (from me anyway). I don't think that you would be disappointed at all with anything coming from Gina K - not to mention her customer service is impeccable! I {heart} Miss Gina
