What card stock do you all use for card making?

Hi all, another cricut expression newbie here

What's the best card stock to use in the cricut for the base of your cards? (the card stock i'm using at the moment is a little bit too flimsy :/) and where is the best place to buy it from please?

I think the kind of card depends on what you are going to do with it. As a general rule though, for a base card I try to make sure that my card is 240gm or more. The card you buy for kids projects etc is often 160gm and that is too flimsy especially if you are going to put lots of layers or embellishments on it. It should say on the packet.

If you use anything thicker than Bazzil you'd need to use your multi cut function of the expression to cut with. I normally use 230/240gr white card for most cards though.
If I need a coloured card cut out on the cricut for the base card I normally use bazzill cardstock. You can buy Bazzil from any of out sponsors.

Hi

For most base cards I use very smooth high white 300g card.

but for special cards like weddings I use CONQUEROR IRIDESCENT it comes in a range of card, paper and envelopes. It just gives that quality look to a card.
