I love all the different flowers you can make with your paper, I just wish your s&h fees weren’t so high. It makes it prohibitive the way things are.
It evens out on a per paper cost, especially for the quality. You think bigger than one piece of paper or one package. Usually when you buy paper locally at the craft store, the paper is half the thickness and/or the color is just on the top layer. If you rip or cut the paper, it is white in the core. This paper is solid core, the color runs all the way through the paper, and really heavy duty to work with. You can bend it, mend it, curl it and it doesn’t break, which is why I favored it. And it doesn’t rip in the printer; I use text for that purpose. Cardstock in a heavy duty printer, If you need to take an eraser, or Xacto blade and scrape something off, it doesn’t really show, since the color goes all the way through. I also use lots of Undo for glue that comes out under a setting and it doesn’t pill the paper, when I rub it with a paper towel full of Undo. For me, the S&H was worth it. You can buy for several people and then reach a break even cost for the paper. if you do not use lots of paper. Watch for the specials each month. The discount about pays for the S&H and you usually wind up with more than one package. Play with the cart to see how much paper you can get for the lowest shipping cost, then do the per page math and it does even out.
