Bloom Beautifully Choosing the Perfect Cardstock for Paper Flowers

Creating stunning paper flowers starts with selecting the right cardstock. For both rolled and shaped blooms, opt for 65–85 lb cardstock—light enough to mold, yet sturdy to hold its shape. Double-sided cardstock is ideal for rolled flowers, ensuring a polished look from every angle.
Top picks include:
• Encore Textured Cardstock: Adds subtle texture while remaining pliable.
• Lessebo Colors: Smooth finish with vibrant hues.
• Pop-Tone 65#: Soft pastel shades perfect for delicate designs.
• Sirio Pearl Smooth: Offers a pearlescent shimmer for elegant creations.
• Bazzill Dotted Swiss: Features an embossed dot texture for added charm.
