I was looking for a heavier weight paper to make envelopes for handmade cards. Most of my cards have layers and embellishments that require a slightly heavier envelope to make it through the mail unscathed. Embellishments in particular can poke through standard envelopes, which can cause unsightly dents or even tears. This index cardstock holds up much better and offers more protection. It's not as heavy as the cardstock needed for card bases, but it's a little heavier than layering cardstock. It works great in my envelope punch and folds easily and crisply with a scoring tool and a bone folder. The envelopes end up have a really smooth, substantial feel without weighing so much that I need to add extra postage. I've also started using this paper to line the insides of my cards and sometimes for layering to keep weight down on a card front. I love that I can get a generous amount at once because I use it every time I craft.
