Bought my accucrease (yes, I know, I could've made one, etc, etc - but I also knew I couldn't actually be arsed ) and wondering what weight card you use to make your cards?

I think it's a personal preference.

Trouble with thin card 160grms is, if your embossing you can go through it and it doesn't stand up very well. (Just my opinion)
I use 250grms or 280grms

I want one of those? Did you get a bargain??

Don't think it was a bargain, was £14.99. But it came very promptly - very impressed (was from dies to die for).

Thanks for the paper info - I like using heavier card, definitely.

You'll wonder how you managed before having your accurease.
You can also use it for embossing a few straight or diagonal lines on your cards.
