  5. Thank you for sharing this-especially the white cardstock. I’ve wondered about that for a while. I mainly use the cheap stuff from Walmart, but have been wanting the 110 lb.

  6. This is such a good compendium of paper info. I used to think it was my poor stamping quality until I realized it was the incorrect paper. Thank you!!

  12. Thanks for great videos like this one. It’s so helpful when someone takes some of the guess work out of choosing product for us. Love the way you not only tell us which products are your favorites but you also do a great job explaining why you like a given product and how you use it. I started using Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock mid-2020 because of your recommendation and can’t believe how much better my cards look and feel. Particularly like your description in this video of how to tell the weight of paper from the label. I always went just by the lbs. and could not understand why the cardstock was so different. Now I get it. Amazing how helpful it can be to learn to read labels. 🙂

    Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put in this stunning series, stay safe and have a wonderful week.
