I need pretty cool looking cardstock...

Where to go??

edited to ask: I don't know squat about any of the paper jazz... how much weight should the paper weigh?

Re: I need pretty cool looking cardstock...

Define cool.

What are you using it for?

Re: I need pretty cool looking cardstock...

LOL

for invitations.. I want something in the color gold.. with a nice print on it perhaps..

Re: I need pretty cool looking cardstock...

I would recommend going to downtown manhattan to Paper Access or Kate's!
There's tons of paper stores by Union Square.
Good luck! Hope you find something!

Re: I need pretty cool looking cardstock...

Paper Access is great - also went to Yes I do in jersey...

Re: I need pretty cool looking cardstock...

also, how much should paper weigh in order for it to be considered cardstock? does that make sense?

Re: I need pretty cool looking cardstock...

Pear Paint on Canal has a huge selection of paper!

Re: I need pretty cool looking cardstock...

Verdilla, I used to live in Hoboken before moving to bklyn!

And service at yes i do is much better than kates, as found out yesterday (Kate's staff was clueless about albums)

Re: I need pretty cool looking cardstock...

alina- Yes I Do is a great store!

Re: I need pretty cool looking cardstock...

Marcella--card stock is 36 lb and up. If you are doing the printing yourself, keep in mind the printer and the stock. The paper can cause the printer to jam or it won't bend as easily when you run it through. I had a bad experiencee with photo paper yesterday. It wasn't pretty!

Have you thought about ordering the paper on-line? There are a lot of sites where you can get it a lot cheaper than retail stores.

Re: I need pretty cool looking cardstock...

On no.. well I plan on printing everything on ivory parchment paper.. so the card stock or *heavy* paper will be more like the background...

Re: I need pretty cool looking cardstock...

If that is the case than you should use 80 lb. It is really thick and strong. I went to paper access a couple of weeks ago and that was the strongest paper they had. I think they even had a 100# maybe, could be wrong. But that was stiff!

Re: I need pretty cool looking cardstock...

I was there but I didn't see anything..., then again, I did get there about 10 minutes before they closed lol Thanks sweetie.. I will go back there again!

Re: I need pretty cool looking cardstock...

I miss the mile square restaurant, they had the best steak/mashed potatoes!!! I also liked the little mexican chain at 4th and washington for yummy tacos

Marcella plan on at least 45-an hour of time in there. We started looking at everything in site! There is also another paper store on the same block as Paper Acess. If you make a left out of the store it is on the left hand side. I was searching for petal paper and found them to be slightly cheaper than paper access.

Re: I need pretty cool looking cardstock...

so when you get out onto 110, you make a left onto 110 going north? and it's on the left? do you remember what it was called?

Re: I need pretty cool looking cardstock...

I was talking about Paper Access in nyc .

Re: I need pretty cool looking cardstock...

sorry about that.. brain fart lol

Re: I need pretty cool looking cardstock...

LOL I hear you Marcella. Its Friday and this office is steaming!! I just had the giggles while talking to FH for no reason. This heat is making me nutty!
