Cardstock Choices for Copic Coloring

Hello, crafty fans and friends!!

I have been on a mission to find cardstocks that can be used for Copics in my area.  I really dislike having to order online, but do when I don't have a choice. 

Well, I made this short video on my choice of Cardstocks and why. I hope it helps you decide! I know many people have done their own videos on this, but I wanted to make my own to show my perspective!  

Here's a picture of my testing of Cardstocks.

I prefer Neenah Solar White Smooth 80 lb

I found one that works very well at Office Max.  I will provide some links below!

This is the video I made to show how I colored on these different types of cardstocks and to give you my reasons why and what I am looking for!
