That you use for your holiday layouts and cards? Just that perfect bright red? I'm gathering supplies for my Christmas card. My inspiration card used Spellbinders Photo Booth, which is out of stock and discontinued, so I'm looking for a substitute. Thanks!

I have real red so it's a contender! I'll have to check out the Lawn Fawn. Thanks for your suggestions!

I don't have a favorite. I have about 100+ pieces of red cardstock, and the majority of them are different shades of red . I always find a piece that goes with what I am working on.

I used to order Bazzill Crimson by the 25-sheet pack. Not sure if it is still available.

Creative memories Cranberry. They've discontinued it and brought it back a couple times.

Although I don't think I have 100 pieces. At least I hope not There are so many nuanced shades of red, I cannot image being able to pick one or two that work with everything.

My favorite Bazzill colors are ruby red and red devil. Ruby is a deeper red and red devil doesn’t have that orange under tone that a lot of reds seem to have.

My inspiration card used Spellbinders Photo Booth, which is out of stock and discontinued, They discontinued it? That sucks. It's a fairly new release, I thought. It was a great colour. I use SU's Real Red on almost every Christmas card I've made in the past 20 years. Every year I look for another red but I never manage to find one as vibrant and bright without being orangey. I think the only other red shade I've used has been SU's Cranberry Crisp.

I’ve been looking for a true red as well. I’ve always had a hard time finding a true red. They tended to be slightly brown, orange, or pink. I’ll be checking these out. Thanks.

Yes & no: I exclusively scrapbook & still have a scrap of what I consider the "perfect bright red." It is original Bazzill (before American Crafts acquired the company in 2014) that did not feature a branding strip or sticker on each sheet. Since I no longer have a LSS & none of the Bazzill colors in stock at JoAnn match, I do not know the color name...UGH! While I've never purchased from the site, 12x12 Cardstock Shop has been recommended in previous threads & stocks numerous brands. Perhaps you could contact this company & request someone compare colors across brands to determine/recommend the "perfect bright red" in its inventory. HTH.

I've never shopped Cardstock Shop. What a great website. They have quite a few reds - even one called Christmas Red!
