Cardstock Warehouse Stardream Anthracite Grey Cardstock Paper - 25 Sheets, 8.5 x 11" – 105 lb/284 GSM Premium Metallic Dark Gray Card Stock for High-end Printing Card Making Die-cutting & DIY Project

I was looking for a hefty weight, but pretty, paper to make a fan/program for a wedding for my daughter. Since the fan would be used for, well, fanning yourself outside, it had to have some weight to it to be durable. (2 sheets were used per fan with the wooden handle hot glued in the center.) I didn't want glitter and was looking for something heavy with a more "refined" finish, that is pink through the core since it was going to be cut on a cricut and I did not want the paper to have a white center showing around the edge. This paper was the only one I could find that met the criteria I had due to the weight I wanted. It cuts cleanly, is pink through and through, had has a nice sheen/glimmer to it without being over stated. It worked perfectly. Note: the Cardstock Warehouse took 2 weeks (!!!) to process the order before shipping it out. In this day and time of amazon 1-day delivery (ok, it's 2-day for me in Hawaii) watching the order sit, unattended for 2 weeks was very frustrating even though they warn you in the description. We were on a deadlines so I still looked everyday to see if it was on the way. (was not!). The paper works beautifully and gets 5 stars. The company needs to revisit their service time and gets 2 stars for being so slow to process orders. Plan ahead as much as possible. You will be happy with the product when it arrives.

great paper. Color has a sheen to it. Paper weight is thick. good for card bases

I purchased this paper to use for my son's wedding invitations. It is beautiful and worked well in my Cricut cutting machine. It was used to make a tri-fold invitation that had many intricate cuts in the front. Prior to finding this cardstock, I had tried two other paper brands that would tear in my Cricut, so I was thrilled to find this one. And, I love the shimmer/glimmer of this paper and so does my daughter-in-love to be!

I bought this along for holiday cards. The cardstock is so nice, nice color, great weight, color on both sides and results were fantastic. I changed my plans from using silver and gold metallic that I had to using more of this copper. I had originally thought the copper would be a nice variation from silver and gold on some cards but the results really caught my breath when I used it. This actually turned out nicer than the metallic silver and gold. A change in plan and I’m using this copper instead of silver and gold metallic. I’ve die cut some very thin items, they cut beautifully with no problems . I’ve embossed it. It took the embossing well. That turned out so nice I pulled out every holiday embossing very well (I did a slight mist spray of water on my embossing folder first) folder I have and embossed every single one. I stamped my greeting in black ink on it, used a stamping platform so I could dry with a heat gun and restamp to make the image darker. I even woke up this morning with ideas running through my head about other card designs. I will be buying other colors of this cardstock as I am so pleased with how nice it is to work with. I’ll be using it in scrapbook pages after I get my cards done. Highly recommended

Cardstock looks just like it’s pictured.

I like the fact that this paper has the shimmery finish on both sides of the paper. It's a nice thick card stock, good for card bases. It can be used on cutting machines, but you get a better, smoother finished piece if you cut on the back of the paper (send projects to your machine as mirror image). Description also recommends to do a double-cut (2x pass) setting to ensure precise and sharp cuts. It's a bit pricey for only 25 sheets, but you are getting a good quality, thick, double sided, solid core paper.

These are my favorite papers to use with my original watercolor artwork to mat, frame, or make greeting cards! Excellent quality, luxurious finish and trusted to use with my original art. I have enjoyed every style and color. This is the brand …always the perfect choice!

Worked great as a matting surface for a photo garland I made. Perfect amount of sheen and weight.

I love the Stardream metallic papers. They are so hard to find in Canada. They are perfect for cutting and making cards. The paper cuts beautifully on my Cricut, and the shimmer is so gorgeous without being too much.

Although the colour could be a little blacker, I am pleased with this paper.
