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
Personally, I love Marco's.
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
heck they are right down the street from me.... a little high priced in my opinion but good selection...
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..
yup, Hollo's... going there in two weeks for my buck a pound paper.. love that place!!!
Thanks to everyone who gave me links to great sites. I have checked them all out and I think I will be able to find what I'm looking for! G.
Oh I am SO jealous! I have heard so much about Hollo's - I swear I am gonna take a trip out to Ohio JUST to go there .....
well, I"m putting back 100 bux for cardstock , envelopes and boxes for some cards.. LOL... mostly cardstock and envies tho... I can't wait.. LOLOL
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!
my friend lives in Sandusky and she drives there like 3-4 times a month.. LOLOL..
