Glossy Cardstock

[crrimal]

I'm wondering if glossy cardstock is the same as glossy photo paper. If not, what are the differences? I was told to get glossy paper to do a technique, but can't find any local.

Glossy cardstock is clay-coated, photo paper is emulsion coated. See step 4 in this post by Tim Holtz: 12 tags of christmas ? day 2? | Tim Holtz I know some people have good luck using photo paper for many techniques but they are different.

You won't get the same results with photo paper. The ink doesn't blend well, and the colors turn out more muted.

Thanks for the help! Guess I'll have to hunt down some glossy paper. Anyone have a good source of it?

Stampin' Up.

Stampin Up Retired theirs last month and it is all sold out. I've seen some by Ranger/Inkssentials in the big box stores - usually in A2 (I think) sized sheets. I have not used it, as I'm still working thru my SU stash, but I think it is similar.
