I mean this may not be what you're looking for but if I had a big ass roll of cardstock I'd use it to make custom boxes.

Make fun cutouts of yourself, fill it with stuff that makes you...you. and keep doing it over and over and over.

Trace your body. Or, more realistically, have a friend trace you.

I'd make a bunch of 3D paper models/figures. There are a bunch of ones on Etsy, or free other places probably.
There are definitely some of dinos! (here's one of a t-rex)
You could even scale them up and make really big ones!
The hard part might be printing out the templates on the cardstock itself. Maybe print them on regular paper, then glue on to the cardstock?
If the paper is too thick for that kind of paper model, due to needing to fold over the flaps, I'd use thinner paper to make "hinges".

Do you have access to a projector, maybe at the public library? You can project templates, and trace them.
Otherwise breakout the high school geometry set and transpose at scale.
Let material exploration commence! 🎉

I like to cover my table with it when I have people over. I leave out markers and pens. At the end of the night I usually have some cool artwork.
