I like to use mainly white or cream/ivory as base cards, although colours do creep in on very special cards. To be honest these days I tend to buy A5 as my smallest size and if I want something smaller I have some old A6 cards to use up that I bought when I first started card making. I have never done 5x7 cards and really prefer 6x6 or 8x8, both of which I've only found in white up to now but would love both sizes in ivory. I need cello bags in 8x8 so an order is in the offing.
You do need to be careful though as there are some larger cards around that are a bit on the thin side - I get suspicious when they don't put the gsm on them. Not a problem in the shop here though.
