My Project

When students are creating art projects requiring the use of decorative paper, card stock is much more durabile, versatile and has a professional appearance that will last for more than a day. Students will be able to enjoy the work they have created and will want to cherish it forever. Some students may even want to place their design into a scrapbook that they will want to pass down from generation to generation.

Card stock is a great option for everyday crafts and projects.

Card stock has a much smoother apperance compared to construction paper, giving projects a polished and professional touch. Card stock is a much heavier material that can withstand folding. When students create projects using card stock, their projects will be less likely to fade or discolor while being displayed in the hallway for others to views.
