Kraft Cardstock....what do you use?

Two posts in one day!! Another stash related post tonight. I've been using a lot of Kraft cardstock on my cards recently and just wondered what you all use. I've seen on a few different blogs, some people use parcel paper and old packaging. I have been using these folders which I bought from Staples
I think the pack I got had 200 in. If using them as a base layer for a card, I would say you could get 4 cards out of each, so all in all for about £5 you are getting a serious amount of cardstock! Anyway, just thought I would share that info!

Bye for now!

***EDITED*** Just a quick note to say that this Kraft is thin, I always layer it on top of a white base card. It's cheaper that way and lasts twice as long too! I wouldn't use this sort as the card blank itself, its not strong enough.

Thanks for the idea of using folders from Staples. I rushed down there rtoday and got 100 folders for £3.91 but being folders that gives me 200 sheets that are slightly bigger than A4.
Great
