I have done a bit of sewing on card stock and I used the normal thread top and bottom. Card will blunt needles much more quickly than material if you do a lot of sewing on card, but small amounts is fine. As with any new technique, play around with it first. You may need to adjust the tension or something. Anyway, go for it!
