? about plain cardstock

[TinkerBean]

Anybody know where I can get plain 12 x12 cardstock in single colours (in bulk - 25 or 50 sheets)? All I can seem to find online is the Bazzill.

I've been buying the assorted paper packs at ACMoore and Michael's. Problem is I've run out of Red, Green and Brown. I have tons of everything else, so I don't want to get the assorted and end up with more of what I don't need.

TIA

There is a great scrapbook store in Derry NH, Scrapbook Island. They have a great selection of single 12x12 cardstock. They are located right in the center of town not far off of exit 4.

Too bad you didn't hit the stores after Christmas. I got some great multi-packs of cardstock at ACM after Christmas. It was three shades of green, two or three shades of red, cream, and brown. I bought two or three packs. And it is NICE heavy textured cardstock (although at the moment the brand is not coming to me). I will check when I get home if you want... maybe you could still find some around.

I have had some luck at Big Lots... navy, light blue, sage green, grey, raspberry, are the colors I know I have found in big packs... usually $2 for 25 pieces. It is a GREAT deal and I usually snap up several packs whenever I see it. And it has always been a great heavy cardstock.... sometimes textured like Bazzills.

I agree though, it is difficult to find packs of solid cardstock, single color. And the Bazzills is prohibitively expensive!

I do buy multicolor packs sometimes if that is all I can find and I am desperate for a color, but I end up with lots of a few colors that I don't use much, like orange. I sometimes give it away to my nieces who LOVE to receive free scrapping stuff. Or I will challenge myself to use one or two colors that I have in abundance on at least two layouts. I helps me jump out of my "same-old, same-old" comfort zone and uses up supplies at the same time!

Good luck....................P

Stampin up as well. You can order solid packs of individual colors.

Mouse memories will sell you as much single colors as you want - it's less expensive than bazzil I think it's ether prima? prizm? or pizzazzill. cuts nicely on the cricut too.

Do I hear the magic words..."FIELD TRIP?"

WOW! There's a Cracker Barrel restaurant (there aren't many of these in New England...yum!) in Derry right at exit 4 - if my arm was twisted in just the right way, I might just be interested in a little trip...:rolleyes1

CM sells individual colors in 12 x12 size, 10 pages to a pack.

Why did not someone tell about about the scrapbook store in Derry when I was going up there every weekend last fall? :confused3 ;) :rolleyes1

Did you check J's?

I have 50 packs of single colors 12x12 and 8 1/2 x11 (which I use often for swaps) in red, green, black, white, cream, kraft brown. Most of this I got during the holiday season. I waited for a 50% sale and then I got 10 each of red, black, and white and maybe only 5 of the green. Around Halloween, they had the 50 packs in orange, purple, black, white and green. Not sure if they do this around other holidays too. I did notice some at a J's yesterday, porbably what was left over.

I like the "value" cardstock for the cricut. I think it just cuts easier and dulls the blade less. I also like it better in the cuttlebug. I make about 120 Christmas cards, so I definitely need the value paper for that.

THe color of the J's cardstock is more vibrant than the equivalent at ACM IMO. I did ask the store manager at ACM to order packs of white & black -- this over a year ago. To my surprise he did and I guess it sold well because they still do carry it. However, the black is not a very dark black - -I like to use it if I am going for a distressed look and the white is not very white.

Thank everyone...I broke down and bought some value packs at ACMoore today (dh and 2 kids - all of us with 50% off qs). But maybe I can convince PBF (pinballfamily) to go to J's with me and maybe a field trip off of exit 4;) AWM you can come too:goodvibes

You could throw a rock from that Cracker Barrel and hit the LSS. I've done both (although I was underwhelmed by the restaurant.) It's a good store - definitely worth the drive up. My DH really liked the comfy chairs in their crop room. ;)

I was shopping at Tuesday Morning today and they have packs of double-sided patterned paper from American Crafts for $1.99.* There are 25 sheets in the pack and it's heavy card-stock paper.* It's all the same pattern in the package and many of them are kind of :scared1:, but some aren't bad.* The best bit is that the back side of the paper is solid colors (yellows, red, greens, tan, black, purple, orange, pink, etc.).* I picked up a few packs of the colors I use the most since it was such a good deal.
