Default Heavy weight Kraft cardstock

Hi all -- I've been absent for a LONG time - it's nice to see so many familiar names still here.

My son is getting married and I am making the invitations. I have stampin up kraft cardstock but would like something heavier for the card bases. Does anyone know a good source for a more substantial kraft cardstock.


I haven't been stamping much for the past year or so - I feel like a fish out of water!

I like MFT kraft cardstock. It's 100lbs and had a nice solid feel to it. I've never had a problem with it not holding up.

The Paper Source has great papers for wedding stuff (cute ideas to steal, too).

Neenah in the Classic Crest line has a nice 100# kraft CS called Desert Storm.

The Paper Cut also has a lovely heavy weight kraft card stock. We used it in classes in a now-closed LSS. They also carry the Neenah mentioned first.

Gina K Designs has some beautiful cardstock. Here is her Kraft, but there are other colors that might work for you: Heavy Base Weight Card Stock- Kraft - Gina K Designs.

Neenah Desert Storm is in the Environment line, not in Classic Crest. It is a really nice "kraft" paper in 100 pound.


I really don't like the SU...it tends to crack on folds and break through on scoring.

If color matters to you...here are pics from my chips.
ok I am not used to loading. These went in reverse so the first ones are kraft like in my buff/sand group and the second set are what IDs as kraft. The name shots will tell you weight. A flipped X in the front shot means it was discontinued. This way *maybe* you can see what people are referring to.

Lighting: bright white from outside but not full on sun.

I ordered Neenah Desert Storm Kraft cardstock from SS. I was anxious to get it since so many people use it.
What a disappointment on the weight.....only 80lbs. Does this come in 100#? I thought that was what I was getting.
I just ordered 100/110# Kraft from Ink to Paper.

Yes, it comes in both weights, and SSS sells both. What does your confirmation email or packing slip say? Here is a link to their Neenah Desert Storm products:
neenah desert storm at Simon Says STAMP!

If they made a mistake when pulling your order, they’ll correct it - just email them and include the order number.

Another vote for the Gina K heavy base weight... her base card stocks are by far the heaviest and really exceptional compare to others.

Sure thing. I am very visual. I had started out with A2 size so I could best see layering, but that got too unwieldy over time as the stash grew. I do it by color (here) and by brand (helps me not duplicate as colors on computer screens can look different). It has been really interesting as I discover different companies have the same paper by different names which is not a huge surprise-only so many mfgs.

Not so organized with other stuff though. LOL You should see my paperwork pile.
