Classic Crest 80 lbs. Digital Smooth Cover, 8 1/2-inch x 11-inch, Solar White, 250/Ream (04701)

I’m a card maker and this paper is the perfect thickness for card bases. Cut in half and fold for the perfect A2 size card!

I really like it. The ink adheres well, it’s smooth, and it’s thick but not too thick to jam my printer! And there’s a lot more paper than you’d expect, so it’s going to last me a while.

Basically, if you’ve never used #03249 before, you’d think this (#04701) is good enough. However, I’ve been using and loving #03249 for so long that I could feel instantly that this lacked that “wow” factor upon first touch. As a paper crafter, searching for a perfect cardstock/paper is a never ending goal. LOL! Considering the quality and price of this cardstock, I’d say it’s a great deal with decent quality so I’m giving it 5 stars. #03249 is sold in 250/pack and price is almost 1/3 more than this. I will keep this for my other projects but will still purchase super smooth #03249 despite its higher price. I felt that the most obvious difference between the two was “smoothness”. Other than that, this cardstock (#04701) maybe slightly brighter than #03249; while former a tiny bit thicker and latter more condense (if that makes sense). The package that I received was in perfect condition which I really appreciated. I just thought some paper lovers out there maybe curious like I did. Hope this can help a bit.

Nice card stock weight for card bases. Can also be used for stamping and coloring.

Some cardstock was damaged so not usable. Just a few sheets. Otherwise, love this cardstock for card making. Just be more careful.

Very smooth, great for stamping and coloring with markers

Bright white cardstock that can be used as a card base or for layering.

I use this paper for majority of my craft projects. I also use it to print projects and works smoothly.

Great price especially as it's so expensive in Australia and hard to get. Great quality and works perfectly for die cutting and Copic colouring.

Terrific cardstock paper for blending and Copic coloring. Glad I found the right one! Perfect for printing pre colored images for card fronts as well. This paper is not for card bases. Well I guess you could - it just wouldn’t be a very sturdy greeting card.

great for stamping and layering for cards

Good for blending and stamping! So happy to be able to get it from Amazon!

Great quality card for card making. I use this weight for die cutting etc. and the Neenah 110lb for card bases.
