These four cardstock and paper packs cover different sheet counts, sizes, patterns, and prices, so start by deciding how much paper you need and what kind of project you are feeding.

Product Notes
100 Sheets 20 Assorted Colors Cardstock 8.5 X 11 Craft Paper 75lb | 200gsm Heavy
Pick this one when you want a single large stash of cardstock. You get 100 sheets in 20 assorted colors, and the 8.5 x 11 size is convenient for printers, cutting machines, and standard invitation layouts. The 200gsm weight points to a heavyweight paper that should hold up well in folded cards and scrapbook layers. The limitation is the size: if you prefer 12x12 scrapbook pages or only need a few sheets for a quick project, this pack may be more than you want to buy.
Huge Craft Paper Destash Lot Mixed Scrapbook Cardstock Greeting Cards Stickers
This is the pick to reach for if you are just starting a scrapbook or card-making setup and want a bit of everything. The bundle includes scrapbook paper, cardstock, blank cards, envelopes, and stickers. That assortment makes it easy to experiment with different colors and patterns in one project. The trade-off is that the assortment is mixed, so you may need to sort through colors and patterns to find pieces that work together for a cohesive layout.
30 sheets Cardstock Paper 8 1/2 x 11 Inches for Crafts and Invitations White
If you want a middle ground between a large pack and a mixed lot, this 30-sheet option is a cleaner, more predictable choice. It uses the standard 8.5 x 11 size, which makes it straightforward for printing, cutting, stamping, and embossing. This option is designed for crafts and invitations, so it suits card-making and printed projects. The limitation is the format: 30 sheets is less than the large color pack, and the letter-size format won't give you 12x12 scrapbook spreads. If you need lots of paper or large album pages, you would likely run out quickly.
Doodlebug Design Scrapbook Paper Lot 12x12 Milk & Cookies Christmas 18 Sheets
This Doodlebug Design lot is the only theme-first option in the group, and it carries a 12x12 size that scrapbookers usually want for album pages. The 18-sheet set combines a Milk & Cookies Christmas pattern with five brown bear die cuts and white glitter trees and snowflakes. That makes it a good fit for holiday memory-keeping and Christmas card accents. The limitation is the narrow theme: Milk & Cookies is a seasonal pattern, so it will not serve general, everyday scrapbooking as broadly as an assorted-color pack.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
- For a big, all-purpose cardstock stash: go with the assorted-color cardstock pack.
- For a varied starter lot: the Huge Craft Paper Destash Lot offers a mixed paper, card, and sticker collection.
- For letter-size invitation paper with a set sheet count: the standard Cardstock Paper pack is the middle-ground pick.
- For a holiday-themed scrapbook page: the Doodlebug Design Milk & Cookies lot brings a seasonal pattern and extra die-cut pieces.
Start with your project size: if you are making one themed layout, the themed lot makes sense. If you want to stock a paper drawer for many projects, the assorted-color pack covers more ground.
