I am a card maker mostly. I art journal as well. And I like to die cut and paper piece. So favourite paper for art journaling is Dylusions Journal. Love that paper. Speciality Cardstock favourite Tonic Mirror Cardstock they also have a pearlescent which I love. I have not tried their glitter. Regular cardstock is stampin up. I have almost all their colours. I am not a rep or do I have their stamps. I love their cardstock. I use it for die cutting I use it matting etc. My source though is not available anymore and by source I mean I got it for rep price...It will be a long time before I start running out and by then I'm sure I will be able to find a replacement. My favourite card base is Michaels 110 in kraft, or White. I use these papers for everything I have a tray set up for the White , Black and kraft I go thru a pack quite quickly as I use it to try things etc. It does work for copics, I think Neenah is better for sure. I feel a cardstock needs to be at least 80lbs. 65 lbs is not a good base. |

I love Tonic speciality cardstock too. I also use Michael's 110lb paper for card bases. I like SSS and Gina K heavyweight cardstock for card bases. I use 65lbs cardstock for matte layers.

I am still a fan of Bazzill cardstock. I like the wide range of colors and that I can get smooth or texture.

I have been using Papertrey Ink cardstock for years. It is heavy—110lb which makes it ideal for card bases but can get heavy really fast if layering several layers. I happen to be lucky enough to live within driving distance to Gina K’s retail store and her paper is just as heavy and high quality as Papertrey. She also has my preferred stamping paper, which is white and comes in layer and base weight. It is by far my favorite.

Generally, I find all of the colored cardstocks interchangeable: Stampin Up, MFT, etc. They're all a decent enough weight that I just use whatever has the closest color to what I want.
However, Papertrey Ink (and I guess now Ink to Paper) has the best kraft cardstock I have ever used. Every other kraft I'd ever used was reminiscent of a brown paper grocery bag and was so fibrous that it would bleed when you stamped on it. PTI's is smooth, but still has a subtle fiber appearance, cuts well, stamps cleanly. And it tends to be one of my favorite cardstocks to use when I can't decide on some other base color.

Michael's 110 lb cardstock for base and 65 lb for matting and die cutting. And of course Bazzil- I still have two box of this from the warehouse sale they used to have before they closed. For $10 you could pack a box full with paper it just had to close. I should have bought more😜🤣

Bazill for heavier textured cs.
Recollections or AC cs for smooth, lightweight.

For card bases I generally either use PTI stampers select smooth 120lb or Neenah Solar white 110lb because both are nice and sturdy. I mostly have PTI coloured card stock, though I did just buy The Stamp Market assortment pack to try out.

For cards: I like Neenah for white cardstock. I also like SU's white Thick cardstock a lot.
For colours - I use mainly SU, but I really like MFT's as well. I'd like to try Gina K's but her website won't ship cardstock to Canada.
For 12x12, I use Bazzill.

I can't get Michael's 110 lb cardstock.
I bought a package from an office supply store, but the Neenah is so superior, so I'll be sticking with that for copics and card bases.
I wish I could splurge on new pretty cardstock colours, but I have such a stash from years of collecting and kit clubs and such that I cannot justify. No way.
I buy AC black and white for scrapbooking and die cutting.
I also adore the bristol smooth for zig brush colouring. It's really fun and smooth.

I love Bazzill. I also really like the double sided Echo Park solids. It's not super heavy, but it cuts really nicely. I lucked into a few 25 packs years ago at TM. I bought all of them.

My favorites: White: Michaels 110 lb. for cardstock bases, Neenah 110 lb. Solar White for Copics Kraft: PTI or Neenah 110 lb. Desert Storm Colors: PTI 110 lb. mostly, a few MFT and SU colors, too. Had to quote you so I could copy your format  White: Neenah 110 solar white but I also use a lot of heavy weight white from Hobby Lobby and Bazzill marshmallow that I get at Joann. Kraft: Neenah desert storm but I think I also have another brand I like, I just can’t remember who it is. I also have a lot of misc kraft that I don’t like. Colors: My most often used is Bazzill that I get at Joann on sale. I also have some Gina K that I love. I used to love SU and like it for layering, but it feels too thin for bases now that I use 110. Black and Ivory: Hobby Lobby’s heavy weight packs, I stock up when they are 50% off. |

I've grown to really love the Kaisercraft smooth white cardstock. I use it a lot for printing PL style cards from the digi kits I buy. It has a nice weight, and is a nice bright white (although not quite as bright as the AC cardstock).
My go to for scrapping is AC, which has been driven largely by what I can buy locally. I've got used to the super bright white and find all other whites look dull now by comparison.
