I really was after two colors of card stock and paper and I wanted them to match or be compatible. I was disappointed that the only true green was not available in card stock so we settled for the school's other color white. I think whatever is available in pretty paper prints should be available in card stock as they sell them side by side. Why else would you do that? I would think you'd want people to spend the extra money getting both when they are unsure which will work. I bought less because the color corresponding to the green paper wasn't even close so I went with white.
I make all my Christmas cards Birthday cards thank you notes invitations from scratch and this quality paper makes them look professionally printed. The weight is perfect for my use.
I use this for teaching and I try to make my money stretch as far as I can go. I print a lot of games and projects from TPT and then laminate. This is a nice weight paper for my printer and holds up nicely when laminated and used by first graders. I also use this for scrapbooking and printing titles or the insides of cards. It does not jam in my printer and color ink displays nicely on it. As much as I would like it to be cheaper I am on my second ream of the white card stock. I wish I could buy it in all the colors that it comes in. It is a great product.
