I realise, I might be asking the impossible here - with different screens, the colour might not be perfect. But I am desperate to find the name of this cardstock! I have fallen in love with it, and I must have gotten it in a kit - but I have no idea who the manufacturer is.  I thought it was either Bazzill Natural or Pigment, but after those arrived in the mail today, they're not quite right. One is too cream, one is too pink.  It is brown, but much lighter than a kraft paper. I've included a picture of the texture, so you can see that too. Does anyone happen to know what cardstock this is? I would be so grateful for any ideas. It's the perfect notebook cover cardstock for me! |

Thank you! It's the brown cardstock I am looking for the name of that I have an off-cut of, and no information - I'm really hoping someone has it in their stash. That UPC website is certainly helpful for the future, though! |

It looks a little like it might be this My Mind's Eye cardstock... MME shows up in a lot of kits, probably because it's one of the companies where you can buy bulk packages. The only kraft CS I use is from Papertrey. I like that it doesn't look or feel like a paper bag; prior to finding it I never would have used a kraft cardstock. I'm 99.8% sure it's not what you've got, peachiceteas , but I'd be happy to send you an A2 piece to check it out (if you can't find what you've got and want to look for a substitute). |

It kinda reminds me of an American Crafts kraft cardstock that I used to get all the time at Archiver's.

Do you think it's Bazzill or are you unclear on the brand?
Let me check my stash.

Do you think it's Bazzill or are you unclear on the brand? Let me check my stash. I can't remember cutting off a manufacturer strip, which makes me think it's American Crafts. But I couldn't find a match for it online when searching for AC cardstocks. The only one that looks vaguely similar is AC Brown Sugar. However, I have a lot of random shades of kraft cardstock in my stash, but nothing quite like this one. The texture does seem different to the AC cardstocks I have. Appreciate you checking your stash! |

Thank you so much, that is very kind of you. I was looking at that My Minds Eye cardstock on Amazon and thought it was similar... I will do some investigating on this further! |

Thank you! It definitely could be that. Studio Calico have it on sale so I might order a couple of sheets and hope for the best! |

Oh my goodness.. maybe it really is that light kraft from American Crafts. It looks super similar in this project!  |

I think you can exclude My Colors Cardstock (by My Mind's Eye). They are my fave cardstock and only have 1 kraft shade. It's a light and slightly warm tone but the "print" looks different from the one you posted.

I love the lighter kraft color, peachiceteas -- it doesn't look so brown paper bag to me, and it makes for a nice base for a scrapbook page. |

It's a light and slightly warm tone but the "print" looks different from the one you posted. Is it pretty, tho? I'm really just looking for a light kraft - the AC Light Kraft seems to be long gone in the UK, but it is available on SC. My Colors is available on Amazon....  They certainly look pretty and passable. I just really don't love a dark kraft. |

I just really don't love a dark kraft. I think it's lush! It's definitely a light kraft. Nothing in your face or dark. Just a nice, quiet kraft tone. ETA: I can send you a sample piece by mail if you want to check it IRL before making up your mind. |

I will let you know if I want to take you up on that offer ❤️ The images I posted above, I think are from their canvas/slightly textured range so probably not quite right. But I have found their actual 'kraft' on Amazon and it looks like a contender. Like you say, it's not dark at all. It would make a pretty notebook cover! Thank you for your help! |

To me, it looks like the cardboard they pack with your paper to keep it from getting bent. LOL  |

Just wanted to share an update - thank you so much everyone who contributed to this thread.  sleepingbooty I ordered the My Colors cardstock from Amazon as I read multiple reviews, as well as yours, that said its a pale kraft, and well, I'm impatient and thank the lord for Amazon Prime. It's beautiful. Darker than the one I had, but in it's own right, it IS a lush kraft. I am going to make plenty of notebooks with it! baylorgrad I think your suggestion of AC Light Kraft is probably it - I'm going to order a few sheets next time I make an order from the US. I'll let you know if it ended up being an exact match! Thank you for all your help. |

I'm sorry it isn't as pale as the one you're looking for but glad that you still like it and will turn into pretty notebooks! It's a pretty kraft that deserves to be played with.  Hope you find your super light kraft real soon!  |
