Could you recommend a slightly heavier textured paper for greeting cards? I don't need envelopes, just paper.

i'm afraid I can't. I haven't used a heaver paper than this. I hope you find something.

This is hard to say, depends on how heavy your card stock is, some of the light one should be OK, since this model has the manual tray and the paper can straight in and out without any bending of the paper.

I got mine printed at a local printery. If you have a decent printer it can work. The paper is thicker than the regular office printing paper, but it's not heavy. Take it from me you will not regret it. I used mine at my wedding for my programs & everyone loved them.

I like Avery card stock. I have compared it to Hallmark and this is heavier paper but still not as heavy as it used to be but I'm happy with it. It is easy to fold because of it is prescored. It works for me and I print a lot of cards.

Deck of cards are thicker than my paper. If I put two of these papers together, it should be about the right thickness as deck of cards. I am going to buy thicker paper the next time I order. My printer can print my paper with no problems. Now, just an idea, go look into Silhouette Cameo Starter Bundle Kit, this is very interesting, I think you will like to try it. I plan to buy it very soon. Take care Thomas

These cards are sturdy paper...might be described as very thin cardboard...nice quality.

No, not what I have but canon does make an all occasion greeting card that is glossy and does work well for pictures. I've had this canon stock for several years and so maybe it is no longer available.

I recommend card weight which would be readily available on Amazon. That would include heavy scrapbooking paper as well. Otherwise the scoring could tear the paper.

I have Avery 8315. They are described as "Heavyweight cards with premium print quality on both sides" They are not as heavy as business cards, but much heavier than regular printer paper. I use them to make "greeting cards" and they are perfect for that. I cut them in two and can make two cards from one sheet.

Actually, it is really too heavy for greeting cards. I use it for tent cards for the table for holidays, etc. I much prefer a lighter weight for greeting cards. I like 67lb. for greeting cards. The 110lb. is good for cover stock.

Yes, they are made with heavier paper. They are stronger than recipe cards. I really like mine!

Yes, if you set it up properly. It will take any size paper. I even print envelopes with mine... greeting cards too. For my sister's birthday I put one of her watercolors on the front of the card. It will let you know if it's not set up right too. HAVE FUN! It's a great printer! (deb)

Really is not for cards invitations purposes, is a photographic paper not to be folded, is thick but I'll not recommended for cards.

I have a print shop and have used just about every weight of this paper! The text weight isn't great, it is only a bit thicker than copy paper and dents really bad and easily! With the cardstock, try to stay around 88lb or 92lb because some of their shimmer papers over 100lb won't run through even my best printers.

I too am an artist and its my opinion these blank greeting cards by strathmore are a quality that would accommodate acrylics. I seem to remember my first order was textured which may or may not work depending on your concept.

I bought some 80lb white half fold greeting card paper and it works great but it does not have a glossy finish. It is a Matte type finish.

Not sure -- by comparison, of course in my opinion, this paper is more like Stampin-Up whisper white. It isn't as heavy as PapertreyInk or Ginia K's 110 lb cardstock. This paper is about the same weight as a good index card :-(
