- Simon Says Stamp – has some ink to match.
- Lawn Fawn (SSS | LF)- has some ink to match.
- Taylored Expressions – has some ink and envelopes to match.
- Spellbinders
- Hero Arts (SSS | HA)- their black is super black!
- Concord & 9th – a bit lighter weight but great colors and wonderful for die cutting. Has ink to match.
- But again, there are many other great brands too! We do recommend higher quality and heavier weight options found in small craft shops or stores like Simon Says Stamp, as opposed to many cardstocks found a chain stores.

- Accent White 120lb Cardstock – inexpensive, heavy cardstock great for card bases or layering.
