Lilly Belle's Paperie

Long time no post! Last April I let my SU! demoship lapse and I haven't been doing a whole lot of stamping.

I recently purchased some paper and envelopes from a new to me company and wanted to share what I found. I have been reading Laura Evangeline's blog  on and off for a few years. She used to be known as The Stamping Soldier. She served our country in the Army and still managed to do a little crafting. I just noticed that she had her own Etsy Shop where she sells cardstock and coordinating COLORED envelopes, along with various ribbons and embellishments. I was intrigued. There is also a website, but she seems to be leading customers to etsy, so perhaps she prefers people to purchase there.

I purchased the assorted cardstock and envelopes from Laura's shop and I figured I should share what I found. Being a former demo, my stash is limited to just SU! paper other than some Gina K white that I have. The Lilly Belle's paper is a heavier weight than the SU! cardstock. I believe SU's is 90lb and Lilly Belle's is 100lb.

On to the color comparison's. The Lilly Belle's is the 1/4 sheet you see in the photos. You can see the pictures better if you click on them.

Lilly Belle's Dolche doesn't seem to be coated like the SU! or Gina K whites. It seems a tad brighter. Perhaps that has to do with the finish on the others. It is VERY hard to photograph white.
