    AC cardstock?

    Anyone know what it's like? Is it textured? Is it good?
    TIA

    Love it, use it all the time. It has a light weave texture, is a good weight for cards at 216 gsm. Perfect matches with AC colours, but the pastels aren't the lightest if you're after those.

    I have about 4 or 5 sets of the 8.5 x 11 packs and use them to make card blanks. I don't really use it for stamping on due to the texture and some of my inks just don't seem to take to it very well when using the reverse - but the colours are fab. I love the Tropical set and good old Christmas and Autumn are very handy indeed.

    Also what I like is that you can buy the swatch book for the AC colours. I've been meaning to get round to doing that as it would be so handy and save me time pulling out umpteen sheets of cardstock to find just the right colour.

    See I'm a cheapskate and what I would do is keep a small square of each colour on a bookring and write it's name on the back. I did start to do it with my bazzil but lost the plot a bit, must get that set up again.

    The problem is the colours aren't specified in the packs, so I'd have made a spreadsheet. Talk about sad eh? LOL
