Thanks! I'll reach out to them. It's annoying when some companies will openly provide that info, but others are mysterious about it. Most of the Doodlebug I've bought is the same weight, not really heavy like Carta Bella, which is definitely card stock weight. I feel like all of the Doodlebug stuff is about the same weight as normal double sided scrapbook paper, the stuff you'd get from an AC brand, not too heavy, not too thin. I haven't tried it with adhesive and die cutting, but I could if it would be helpful. I have lots of Doodlebug paper. Thanks! They told me it's 65 lb. Glad to hear it's not super heavy like Carta Bella, because I have some of their paper and it's gorgeous, but man, it's girthy. If you don't mind doing a little test, I'd be forever grateful.

No problem! I used some 2" scor tape on the back of a Doodlebug swiss dot patterned paper which I think should be like what you were looking to buy, just one of their basic coordinating tone-on-tones. I ran it through my Big Shot with a couple of word dies since I didn't have individual alphas. The die *didn't quite* cut through the back paper but when I teased the die away from the paper I was left with a sheet that seems to have cut the words out cleanly like normal, and the adhesive is on the back. It's almost like a kiss-cut sticker sheet. I can see that the die did cut through parts of the release paper but not cleanly enough for the whole word to pop out with release paper on the back. The whole word does pop out cleanly with adhesive on the back though. I think I should be doing this with all of word word dies. I think it was easier to pop the words out without messing them up because the adhesive on the back gave them a little more strength. I hope that answers the questions you had! I can share a photo if you'd like a visual.
