I used colored paper for my home use. I print out my cards on card stock and sent in the mail to friends or give them to special people. I get lots of complaints on the cards and how lovely they look. They like to what is printed on them.. I have a card making software on my computer. they are many different designs I can print out. I also type out a verse and put it inside the card that I make. It is fun to get different verses that will help you put them in words and than print them out on the colored paper.
Our office really like the Staples Pastel colored copy paper in the 8 1/2" x 11 size. It works well for any projects that we have to do. And we really like the variety of colors that it comes in. We use it for inserts flyers mailers and just about anything that we send out that we want to stand out for people to take notice of. And all the colors especially the Salmon color are really good at allowing us to do just that. And the cost of the paper per ream is fairly reasonable too. Works great for us!
