Default ISO comparable Cardstock & Ink colors to SU!

Hello. I no longer care to patronize SU! Can anyone suggest a new company that has comparable ink and cardstock that match? Thanks!

I use SU at the current time. I bought some papers from other companies to compare colors and quality. I'm impressed with Concord and 9th. You can buy a sample pack of paper with all 48 colors, one sheet of each, to check what you think of it. Price is 29.95.

Gina K Designs has great card stock and inks. Most of my stash is SU though. Can you share why you no longer patronize SU?

I love Gina K Designs cardstock and have quite a bit. I also have My Favorite Things; I was able to purchase assortments a few years ago and use it quite a bit. I have some The Stamps of Life. All of these companies match cardstock and ink colors. All have similar weight, die cut easily, and hold up well. If you like hot foiling, I have good experience with Gina K Designs cardstock, but not a good with other colored cardstock.

If I were starting over again, I would use an ink that is foam like The Stamps of Life or Catherine Pooler. I am fairly sure Concord and 9th is also foam, but could be wrong. MFT used to be foam and possibly still are. Enjoy the process of reaching out for other companies.
