Default Cardstock??

Where do most stampers get their cardstock??? It always looks like it matches the DP perfectly.. Where as mine always looks a little off.. PTI, Stampin Up, etc????

I use some SU cardstock, but not their dp. I just search through all my cardstocks until I find a match I like, or have also taken my dp to the LSS or Archiver's to search for just the right color match. It amazes me sometimes to see how many different colors of say, purple, are out there, when you go to look for just the right one.

I use PTI cardstock for my card bases and I use GinaK white 120lb for my images. I don't usually use DP, but if I do, I try and match the DP as close as possible to the cardstock I have.

I have a little bit of everything for cardstock. One thing I do though is if I'm buying paper by the sheet somewhere I buy cardstock to match at the same time and keep them together that way I know I will have something to match.

I think once you have accumlated so much cardstock and so much dsp - something has to match! As for me, I buy cardstock from different locations.... white I usually get from Staples and use that to stamp images and for bases sometimes. I love PTI cardstock. And then I am blessed to live in NE Ohio where we have really neat store that sells cardstock buy the pound and I go there about once a year and stock up.
