Glossy card stock? Where to purchase other than online

[kathybessey]

Does anyone know where one can purchase glossy card stock other than in large quantities and not online?

[rachellann]

have you tried your local walmart or taget store ours carries glossy card and also check local printing shops many will cut to size you need and is not very expensive

HL and probably Michaels will have it. It is in the smaller quantities, like 10 sheets. It is made by Ranger Ink. At my Hobby Lobby, it is by the embossing folders. It will probably be somewhere near the inks and stamps. Warning, it is pricey! Use a coupon.

Katheybessey, depending on when you need it and how much, I bought some on line in the larger quantities. I can send you some. Just found the box I packed it in. HEHE.

Can you substitute glossy photo paper or will that not work at all?

[kathybessey]

I checked Micheal's and didn't find any, I will check Hobby Lobby. Unfortunately for what I want to do the photo paper won't work - wish it would I have tons of it but I tried and it didn't hold up LOL

@kim that was very sweet of you. If I cannot find some locally I may take you up on that offer Thanks sweetie!

I have quite a bit of glossy cardstock too that I got on closeout years ago - it's King James Cast Coat - it's glossy on one side and matte on the other which makes it great for cards if you want to print on the inside. Happy to help too.

You can get glossy card stock at any Kelly Paper store. You might have to buy a ream of it, but sometimes they sell it by the sheet too.

I chased down a stampin up rep here. You get 25 sheets of 8.5 by 11 for 5.95 I think it is.

Thanks everyone. I have some now thanks to a wonderful dear friend. If what I am wanting to try works out then I will have to invest in some. Unfortunately we don't have a Kelly Paper store around here. Suzan found some at one of the office supply stores but have to buy in large quantity -- maybe when my taxes come in LOL

Offer still stands Kathey. I bought quite a bit when I got it from Marco's papers. I have the white and i have a little of the black. I bought the black for foiling, but the foil doesn't like the glossy black. Or maybe it likes it too much because the foil gets all over the paper. anyways, i wasn't able to use it for what i wanted.

Ahh another trip for when you are here. Just you, me, and Mary at Kelly Paper it is about 15 minutes away

My local Kelly Paper really surprised me recently!

I was looking through several different types/colors of paper in their open stock (by the page)...I took careful notes of what each type was, the cost per ream, and so on, then took my stack up to the desk, where they told me to just take it! Wow! I'm going back, but wanted to give a little break in between visits...

[kim]

iggylover, i would have loved to have seen the look on your face when they told you to "just take it"! Congrats on your lucky score.

We don't have a Kelly Paper store in Colorado There is one in Las Vegas, and I will be in Vegas next month, but it isn't any where close to the Strip, and we aren't going to have a car.. so no side trip to the paper store for me. I probably wouldn't be able to get the paper in my suitcase anyway, we only take a small one when we are only gone for a couple of days. Oh well.. I guess I didn't need any paper anyway. I may have to check out my local Expedex the next time I have a day off and see what types of paper they have that I can use.

Woo hoo Suzan!! (Making sure I stash plenty of money from my taxes for this trip LOL)

Iggy what a great treat from the store!! I too would have loved to see the expression on your face when they told you that!

[iggylover]

I think it was shock followed by a huge smile! I certainly wasn't expecting that, and I don't know if it will happen again, but it sure was a nice surprise right before Christmas.

I had chosen some nice dark brown, tan, glossy golds and silvers, and even some vellum papers...you know, I never did get around to actually cutting the Santa, sleigh and reindeer I actually went out and got those for yet...

[kathybessey]

LOL Isn't that the way it usually works out! But now when you do use those papers and vellum you will remember how they came to be in your stash of stuff

[HappyCrafter]

Iggy, Kelly Paper is like that. I bet they even put it in one of their white Kelly Paper envelopes for you. I love doing business with them. They are a great company. I have been buying from Kelly Paper for about 15 years. Don't be surprised when it happens again.
