Larger sizes of heavy CS for bases

[wavejumper]

If I wanted to do a full size A2 (or bigger) triple fold-I would need more paper than a letter size CS. Is there legal size in the world?

Or I just have to work with 12 x 12 CS? That's ok, I just wanted to ask.

I think from what I am reading here-only SU has a good quality heavy weight 12 x 12 CS for base? Does someone else?

Marco's Paper has 100# Cougar in larger sizes (including 8.5 x 14 aka legal size). If you go to the link, you can select the size (maybe multiple sizes ... I didn't try) and then select weight, color and package size from the drop down menus. They are a great company to deal with!

Wow, they also have accordian cardstock, extra long, though in 65#. 5.5/6.25/7.0 by 25/26/34" long. (Don't quote me; I may be disremembering a number here or there.)

Is this for a lot of cards when you would need to buy in bulk, or just the occasional one? I know in my local art shop, I can buy single sheets of card that are 16" x12, and a nice weight for bases. Also manageable for trimming to the required size, unlike the even larger sheets ;-).Of the top of my head, I think it's Clairefontaine but I've seen other ranges in different shops.

I sont know what to do in terms of qty yet. I would probaly start small to play with it and then commit to bulk if I like it. My usual MO.

I have a Blick store near me but they dont sell CS by the sheet. In fact, oddly-they dont even have reams of Neenah ir anything. They carry American Crafts in packs. Which is pretty layer paper but I dont see using markers on it or for base weight. It's odd to me since they carry Copics and Tombows. They might have it online though.

But this is where I get into total confusion...Marco's seems to be cover stock and I never remember what that means. Was it something about being coated? I have detailed discussion of paper types and weights in my bookmarks somewhere-I have to go dig it out from 200 of them. I am going to print it out to have at hand.

I met the Marco's people at a stamp show. It was strange. They didnt know themselves what weight a bunch of the paper in packs was. But they were really really nice people and were really trying to help me.

wavejumper-
Bazzill has some cardstock in 12x12 and you can get packs via Amazon (for example: https://www.amazon.com/Bazzill-Shopp...dp/B00CH9KFRK/). Their Card Shoppe line is very heavy-weight and great for bases. I know they at the very least had red (peppermint) and green (gumdrop) when I last checked, so it's at least an option for Christmas cards.

Hope that helps!
