Looking for paper/cardstock source

My favorite stamp store has gradually become more focused on scrapbooking, to the point that they no longer seem to carry much paper card/tag art. I am looking for a good on-line source for basic cardstock, e.g. glossy white/black, matte white, coated and non-coated, etc. I need a variety to use with various stamping techniques. All I seem to find is various colored stock.

Thanks for any help you can give me. Ginger

I feel your pain. It happened to my favorite local stamp store, too ... and then Embossing Arts, down the road apiece, went out of business. That left Craft World - but they shut their doors here just before the holidays. There's no longer a single store in this town where I can buy stamps - or much of anything else in the way of craft supplies. All my stamp purchases are now made n line (which isn't a *bad* thing, 'cause it makes for a much wider choice of designs, but I miss my instant gratification!)

Try these:

The Paper Palette

- while they specialize in exotic and decorative papers, they do have basic blacks and whites in their glossy, non-glossy and Star Dream text-weight categories. Great folks to do business with.Marco's Paper

- Good prices on bulk packages of basic white cover stock, among many other things.You might also check with commercial printing companies in your area - I've found that they're often willing to sell a case of paper at not much more than they pay for it wholesale, and one printer in our area is even willing to let people order from his paper suppliers through him - again, in case quantities. You can buy reasonably good-quality white or off-white stock at the big box office supply stores such as Staples. Look for "cover stock."

I have heard that paperzone.com is a great site for getting the right kinds of cardstock. They have coated and uncoated, vellums, and glossy.

One of my favorite, and they have GREAT sales, for the basics, is Neenah Paper. They have a few decorative papers, but 99% is just basic cardstock (which is 80 lb Cover - it can get VERY confusing as they have all kinds of weights available also) here is the link:

If you are right down the street from Marco's does that put you in Ohio? There is a great paper store in Brunswick Ohio..

Lucky me! Hollo's is a 20 minute drive and I go whenever I need something! I doesn't have EVERYTHING I need(short on the pattern papers I like) but the prices are great on paper!
