You’re getting closer… they’re called “racks”. (Rails x tracks = racks.)

Enjoy!

…they called it perhaps “tracks”, not rails…

But what brought me to the decission to otder the “Super S…” is the existence of rails! The possibility to create the perfect ornament around everything…

Please see my response above. If you want to make cards, any cardstock will do. For just making designs, I usually use cheap printer paper, unless I want to make something special like cards. It doesn’t matter. Use what you have, and if you don’t like it, get something else.

With felt pens, that has never been a problem for me, even on ordinary paper. Any kind of cardstock should be able to resist the most aggressive ballpoint pen user! (Unless you use it for target practice LOL!)
