I am an official paper hoarder!! My newest addiction is Fancy Pants, with Cosmo Cricket on the side Of course, Basic Grey is the ole' stand-by! Who do you love?
I voted other - I love SU's cardstock. I do buy some other patterned papers, but I buy more by what I like than what brand it is. I do love that so many companies have coordinating embellishments, etc., to go with their papers.
I voted other, too. My favorite is Stampin' Up! I will not use any other cardstock besides theirs because of the quality and the ability to coordinate. I also like their patterned paper because it also coordinates.
I only use SU! cardstock... I buy whatever designer paper I like - doesn't matter what company makes it, as long as it coordinates with SU's cardstock!
I'm glad to see that I am in the majority that voted Other-Who?
I love all kinds of paper and collect it like so many do. I am especially fond of the stacks that you can get on sale, though.
Recently I got one I really like for half-price at Hobby Lobby, only $10 for 180 sheets. It is called Everyday Tango by My Minds Eye and has tons of lovely patterns in it. I am using it for cards, and made a lot of altered notebooks with it for Christmas gifts.
The stack packs by Rob and Bob Studio - Provocraft are another favorite of mine.
Some people don't like the stacks because they say there are too many patterns that they don't like or wouldn't use.
That is somewhat true. I don't love every pattern in the stack packs, but I make most of my own envelopes for cards and use the least favorite papers that way.
I use the Kreate a Lope template which is quick and easy and put the pattern inside, with the white outside for the address. I try to somewhat coordinate the envelopes with the cards, but hey - any pattern inside is more interesting than a plain white one I think.:-D

I adore SU of course, but I also really like Wild Asparagus paper (and coordinating items). I can't always find it, but actually got a few pieces at Michael's the other day which was totally unexpected.

I just tried to start this thread a few days ago and it never took off. Great minds think alike. LOL! Anyway, SEI is my favorite. I'm new to the non-SU! game (been a demo for 7+ years with my head in the sand) and it's definitely fun to try new stuff. I also like Basic Grey.
I voted "Other" because I use Stampin' Up card stock. I love the quality, the richness of the colors, and the fact that I can get ink, ribbon, and other embellishments in the same colors. Now that SU! has started offering a variety of patterned papers as well, I haven't felt the need to go elsewhere. I use it for cards as well as scrapbooking.
I'm commited to SU! cardstock. I used to shop around for patterned paper, but I seriously love what has been in the last two minis and now find myself using more SU! patterned paper. I am looking forward to ordering the papers in the Spring mini soon.
Who makes your favorite paper/cardstock?
