Default What is the SU! textured CS like?

I received my catty today from my good friend in the US and have been through it a good few times already.

I was hoping there may be a close-up pic of the textured CS but haven't seen one. Is it like a linen-y effect similar to Bazzill? Any info greatly appreciated, thanks!

I was surprised that they didn't show us a picture of it in the section of the catalogue where you can actually order it, but I think the samples on the front cover must use the textured paper, don't you? I have no idea if it's textured on both sides.

Thanks for that cmayk - I think you're right! I didn't pay any attention at ALL to the front of the catty - I just dived right in LOL! :rolleyes:

I was thinking of making textured card stock sampler rings to trade at convention. I could make 32 rings of 3x3 squares. But that's $72 of cardstock!! Hmmm . . . .

Wow! That's a nice trade. Hope you get something just as nice in return.

no doubt! I started to do the math and realized it was not a good idea. Even though handmade items are priceless . . . that much card stock is expensive!

I just got my textured CS and it's about the same weight as regular SU! CS, however, it doesn't "feel" the same as Bazzill's weight, nor is the texture as "deep" as Bazzills....to me at least.
