This sturdy and coarse form of paper is perfect for those who like to work with oil pastels, crayons or charcoal. It gives your artwork an extra dimension and makes it even more exciting to experiment with different techniques.
In our range, you'll find card stock in different colours and sizes, so you can create exactly the artwork you dream of. Plus, you'll always find a huge selection of chalk and paint to use to create different expressions on the paper.
What is card stock?
Cardstock is a particularly strong and coarse form of paper that is ideal for a variety of purposes. Most people will be familiar with it if their home has been uncovered during a painting job. The coarse cardboard or paper is really good at protecting the floor and because it is so strong, it can be used again and again.
The kind of cardboard you'll find in our range isn't as strong as the kind used by tradespeople to cover up, but it has the same strong, rough surface that makes it so interesting to work on. We stock a range of different types of card in both sheets and rolls.
Can you get card stock in more than one colour?
As a rule, the product is only available in grey or brown. However, with us you also have the option of buying cardstock sheets in both black and white, giving you even more options for working with different colours and drawing tools, as the expression changes dramatically when you choose a different coloured background.
However, only if you buy the paper in sheets are there more colours to choose from, whereas if you need a whole roll of cardstock, you'll find the classic brown-grey colour in our selection.
What can you do with card stock?
Because cardstock is made from recycled paper, this often means that it's made up of larger pieces than classic printer paper, which is completely smooth. This gives the cardstock a rougher surface, which is great for things like:
- Watercolour
- Crayons
- Paint
- Coal
- Dry pastels
And whatever else you can think of.
If you're making your own place cards or invitations, it's also a great material to work with, and if you use a gold or silver ink, the result will soon be both beautiful and professional to look at. If you like, use some great stickers or exciting coloured tape to add an even more personal touch to your artwork.
