Review on πŸ“„ Recollections Kraft Cardstock Paper Value Pack, 8.5 x 11 inches by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Heavyweight, strong, high quality card stock

I use this card stock for many items. You will receive 50 sheets in a package (I paid $11 for the package). The price was a little high considering I only received 50 sheets, but I'm still very happy with the quality of the paper. The paper arrived very well wrapped in plastic - there were no folds or creases on the sheets. I ordered the color "brown" - it came exactly like the photo. It was a little darker than I expected. The darker the color, the harder it is to see the black ink. The ink is still visible, it's just not as light as on the tan card. There are lighter card stocks on the market but they are not as thick as this one so I keep buying this brand even though the color is a bit darker. This cardstock paper is thick, durable and very well made. This is the ideal thickness for homemade cards, gift tags, price tags and labels. I have used them to make cards, gift tags and labels for my crafts. I've also used them to make little "table signs" that let my customers know about my various products and the prices at the craft fairs I attend. The paper is thick enough that you can fold it in half and stand it up, which is great. I also like this box because I make quite a lot of different animal toys out of it. It's unbleached and ink-free, meaning it's safe for small pets. I have made chewable rodent toys for hamsters, gerbils, mice and rats. I have also made great toys for rabbits, chinchillas and guinea pigs. I have also used scraps of this paper in bird toys. All the animals seem to really enjoy shredding this paper and the hard texture is a great way to keep them busy. Furnished. The price is a bit high as I said, but the quality is much higher than other cheaper brands. I really wish they were a lighter brown or tan, but aside from not showing the ink very much, they're great for almost any other purpose.
