...that will cut beautifully with my Cameo. I know that My Favorite Things has 100lb card stock and I bought a sampler pack of it this weekend (hello 30% off!) that I should be receiving soon.
Does anyone recommend a 100lb card stock that is carried at a brick and mortar store or even online that is maybe not so pricey?
I love the look of the heavy cardstock when used for die-cutting. It has so much more to dimension than a 65 or 80 pound card stock!

I use Papertrey Ink 110 lb. card stock. A pack of 24 sheets is $5 vs. MFT's $6.99 (without any discount). PTI also sells 50 sheet packs for $9.
ETA: I only use this card stock in my Big Shot/Vagabond. No experience with using it in a Cameo. Didn't want to mislead you.

Check the office supply stores. I've seen Neena Solar White in a heavy weight. And - I've read that Michaels has their Recollections white and black in 110 pound stock. Can't say that I've seen it.

I use a lot of the Recollections 65lb cardstock and it cuts very well. Now I'm imagining how good the 110lb cardstock would look for titles and die cuts. I wonder what settings we should use. I'll have to try to get over there early one morning to buy some and try it out. The lines are soooo long there these days. Maybe it won't be so bad if I go early. |

I cut it with my Cameo but always use the textured card stock setting with a blade setting of 4 or 5. My experience is that it cuts very well. But of course it's letter size rather than 12x12. |
