Cardstock vs matte photo paper

Mar '08 Mercy4Free

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between cardstock and matte photo paper? I want a scrap but don't have any photo paper!

Are you wanting to print your photos on cardstock? You could still do that although they won't come out as crisp and bright as it would on matte photo paper.

I am not sure what "bright" means, but when I print my photos on white cardstock at the highest settings my printer has they look great, but I prefer to get matte picture instead of glossy so maybe that is what bright means? I love the look of pics on cardstock because they look really soft.
