Hello - Does anyone know what is the weight is of Stampin Up Colored cardstock? And the Weight of the SU Black and Very Vanilla? Thanks in advance.

According to the catalog, all card stock is 80 lbs. (pg. 155). An is safe for use in scrapbooks.

Whisper White/Very Vanilla, though, are lighter weight papers. They're also much smoother finished. Hang on, I can go check the weight on those...

ETA: OK, I guess I'm wrong, lol. The Product Guide does list it as 80lb. cover weight, just like the colored cardstock. It is a different type, though. As I said, it is smooth, and almost coated, and is not as sturdy as the colored cs. It's fantastic to stamp on and takes color like a dream. I usually use it as a layer rather than a base for a card.

I can't believe Whisper White is the same weight. It's just so different. I do love it but I wish they had a heavier white option also.

On another thread I learned that the difference in stiffness with WW is not in it's weight, but that the colours added actually stiffens the cardstock.
