My favorite cardstock to use for handmade cards is Kraft-colored. It has a nostalgic feel to me and reminds me of the line, "brown paper packages tied up with string" in the song "My Favorite Things" by Rogers and Hammerstein. I hope those who receive a handmade card feel that it is something special. When I saw that Altenew had "Paper Bag" cardstock, I knew I had to try it! I was not disappointed. I like that it's not too heavy to add layers (paper layers, sentiments, etc) which could make the card bulky. The color is a little darker than traditional Kraft cardstock. I love it and highly recommend it!
