the cardstock from Oriental Trading isn't really all that great. It's not very sturdy. I used it once and never again. Some of their other stuff is great though!
I've used their version of "pop dots", which are squares -- good value and comes with plenty in 3 thicknesses. They have some nice punches now and also clear stamps ... some say "exclusive" ??? Cute cake/cupcake set, 50pc stamp set for $15.
One more thing to let you know. I ordered their tins to make a recipe box and the handles came off on both of them. I wont order those anymore. I am hopeful for the clipboards though.
I have bought embellishments from them in the past (ribbon, brads, flowers etc.) and had no problems. I received the new catty yesterday and I'm thinking of doing another order.
I've had success with some of their accessories--mostly the jeweled brads and a few other items. I just went in on an order with some ladies to get the free shipping deal.
I've mostly gotten the ribbon, and it was fine. I did get some of the flocked paper, and it definitely wasn't super heavy, and it was a little more busy in person than it looked on the screen. Then again, it was pretty cheap so I wasn't really complaining. I would buy from them again.

Their brads and eyelets are fine and a really good deal. I haven't had good luck with the tape runner, though. It sticks to itself and breaks. I would definitely not purchase that again. The jewel brads are really pretty. Of course, you have to order a lot of brads to qualify for free shipping!:-D
that has been around for a long time.
I've ordered ribbon, chip board , buttons , brads & paper -
yes it's like Micheals. useful in the right place.
But nothing compares to Stampin Up! colors OR Card Stock!
I see there's a link to their blog. I've heard of them, looked at their things, but never really purchased anything. I've never known anyone whose ever ordered from them, so, for me, I'd rather see it in person before ordering. A computer screen can be very deceiving, as it has been in the past for me.

I have tried to get that catalogy, signed up a few times, I get the other ones...but I never end up recieving the Scrap one! go figure! Like I need to shop anymore!
If you buy online from them at least once you should get flooded with catalogs for an eternity. I would make sure it's out of the scrapbook catalog.

I buy ribbon and embellishments from them all the time. Haven't tried the paper, though. I have also bought chipboard shapes and they were great!
I just got some halloween paper from them because I needed some cheap paper for another project; I made a card with some of it; it is very thin, but works for layers! Here are links (outside and inside)....
I have gotten lots of embellishments from them. I love their jeweled brads! I have also ordered their lunch pails to alter. They have such a good deal on these. I have always been happy with the things I ordered...
Blessings.

I've been ordering from them for a couple of years and have never had any problems with any of the merchandise, however, I'll admit that their paper does not compare to any of the paper I usually buy such as SU, but have bought some black and white paper from them for a project and it was okay for layering. I do buy embellishments and alterables from them, the prices are great and I receive my orders very quickly.
