Glossy paper

[sc magnolia]

I've been looking for some glossy paper to use in stamping. I thought I've would be easy, just so to one of my favorite online stamping store and type glossy white paper in the search box. Nope. Four different stores and nothing. There are so many choices on Amazon I couldn't Begin to choose which would be the right kind for using with alcohol ink markers and Stampin' Up! reinkers. I don't think the glossy paper used to print photos on is the correct kind.
Tim Holt has some but it is SO expensive for just a few sheets
Where do you buy it?

What a great resource! I have never heard of them before. Must check it out in more depth lol. I have found some inkjet photo stock to work pretty well. I used it with alcohol inks and some Distress Oxide techniques for glossy cardstock. A few years back I found a large pack of 4 x 6 Kodak photo paper at a thrift store and just ran out a few months ago. It was a pretty heavy stock and the back of the paper was sort of "plastic" coated so there was no seeping through and no buckling.

I've used photo paper before too, and some of it works and others don't. I don't know how to determine which one to get. Marcos deals with crafters, so I know that their glossy will work.

And, of course, there's always Amazon. $19.99 for 100 sheets.

I've found that Kodak Premium works best (if you're using photo paper). I tried several others for a couple of techniques, and they didn't compare to Kodak Premium (of course it costs more). But my go to for regular glossy is definitely Marcos!
