Petal Cones - Stardream Paper

Ladies,

I like the look of the shimmery paper (which I think is called Stardream), and would love to use that for the petal cones.

For ladies who have used this type of paper,

1 - where did you purchase it from?

2 - what size paper did you order? ETA: and how many cones did you get out of each page?

3 - how many lbs. was the paper?

4 - were the petal cones easy to make with this paper?

TIA for your help!

I purchased my paper from Mygatsby - it matches my invites.
I tried making petal cones from 60lb paper - I taped it together and it quickly came apart. the paper was to heavy.

buy text stock from paper-source.com - they have a few stardream colors available. I would buy 8.5x11 and cut it down to 6x6

I saw a few of the colors of the stardream paper at AC Moore. I think it was 12x12, but not completely sure

I don't know if you're able to go to the city, but Paper Presentation on 18th street has the text weight stardream paper. I was just there yesterday. Here is a link to their website:

It seems like the lower weight is best. The 32# is basically like the weight of resume paper -- not as thin as copy paper, but not quite as thick as cardstock.

I got my invitation paper at Paper Presentation. They have the stardream color you are referring to.

I was at paper presentation last week and that paper is gorgeous. I would think a lighter weight would be easier to keep together.

Re: Petal Cones - Stardream Paper

I got the paper for my petal cones at www.paperandmore.com

I am using their platinum vellum. It's perfect, and stays together. The paper is a good wieght, but not to heavy. It is a shimmery paper, and it was cheap! (people will think I spent more though!)

Good luck!

Re: Petal Cones - Stardream Paper

Let me know if you need a template for the cone. I will send you mine. It's been a lifesaver for me!

Check out the DIY board - CJB88 (and on her review) made gorgeous ones. She bought 12x12 - but you can buy 8.5x11 and cut them down to 6x6. Use text size - the lighter weight/# for them as they hold best.

I actually used circular dolies that I bought and it was super easy!
