Cardstock:
If you love the 24 packs of one color, most colors are going..going...Gone! Prices will go up to $14.50 per pack. I highly recommend buying your favorites even though some colors (mostly neutrals & fall colors) will still be available in packs of 24. So if you love New England Ivy for Christmas or Outdoor Denim, buy it now. If you love Cranberry or Olive, it will still be available but at the higher price ($14.50). These colors will be discontinued in 24 sheet packs of one color and are only $9.50 until July 31.

Parchment
Taffy
Sunkiss Yellow & Sunny Yellow
Lilac Mist & Amethyst
Holiday Red
Sunflower & Goldrush
Moonstruck (everyone loves this color)
Sorbet
Spring Iris
Pansy Purple
The other color cardstocks will be sold in combo packs only.

You will be able to buy Cardstock from the new catalog in shade packs. The colors I have listed above ARE NOT in the Shade Packs. Colonial White & White Daisy as well as Kraft will continue to be sold in 24 sheet packs for only $9.50
