Plain card has its place, but some projects need more shine, texture, or color to feel finished. That is where glitter card stock comes in. It gives handmade cards, scrapbook pages, gift tags, toppers, and papercraft projects a bright, polished look without needing to apply loose glitter separately.
At Crafter’s Companion, you can find glitter cardstock, glitter card, mirror card, metallic card, pearl card, and special finish cardstock for everyday making, seasonal crafts, and special occasion projects. Choose bold sparkle, smooth shine, soft shimmer, or a metallic finish, then build your project around the colors and details you love.
Whether you are making a birthday card, a wedding keepsake, a Christmas tag, or a layered scrapbook page, the right card stock can help your design feel neat, personal, and ready to share.
Glitter card stock is used for handmade cards, scrapbook pages, die-cut shapes, gift tags, decorative toppers, matting and layering, and paper craft projects. It adds sparkle without loose glitter and works well for borders, sentiments, stars, hearts, flowers, frames, feature panels, and decorative details.
Use it when you want a project to feel brighter, more decorative, or more gift-ready.
Glitter cardstock for crafting is a useful choice when you want instant shine without adding extra glue, powder, or loose sparkle. It can be used as a full background panel or cut into smaller details that draw the eye.
It works well for:
For cards, toppers, and finishing touches that work alongside glitter and mirror finishes, browse card making supplies to find coordinating tools and essentials.
Glitter card has a sparkly textured finish, while mirror card has a smooth reflective surface. Both add shine, but they create a different look.
Choose glitter card when you want textured sparkles for stars, letters, flowers, borders, toppers, or festive details. It is a good fit for projects that need a bright, decorative, handmade feel.
Choose mirror card when you want clean shine and a polished metallic effect. Mirror card stock works beautifully for frames, matting layers, sentiments, wedding cards, anniversary cards, and holiday designs.
Many crafters use glitter card, mirror card, metallic card, and pearl card together so they can mix different finishes in one project.
Start with the project, then choose the finish. A mixed pack is ideal if you make lots of different cards and want several colors ready to use. A single-color pack is better when you are planning a themed design, such as gold for a wedding, silver for winter crafts, rose gold for celebration projects, or blue and lilac for soft seasonal designs.

If you are planning very fine cuts, test a small piece first. Intricate dies, heavier card stock, and textured finishes may need a little extra care. A clean cutting plate and the right pressure can help reduce rough edges or small tear marks.
Color can change the whole feel of a design. Gold, silver, copper, rose gold, blue, pink, lilac, and other metallic or glitter finishes are useful shades to keep in your craft stash because they work across birthdays, weddings, Christmas, anniversaries, and everyday makes.
Gold glitter card is a favorite for celebration projects, wedding crafts, Christmas cards, stars, numbers, bows, sentiments, frames, and gift details.
Silver glitter card works beautifully for winter crafts, wedding stationery, snowflake designs, anniversary cards, and elegant layered projects.
Rose gold, copper, pink, blue, and lilac finishes are ideal for birthdays, scrapbook pages, party projects, floral designs, soft seasonal cards, and decorative toppers.
Mix glitter card with mirror card or pearl card when you want extra depth, contrast, and texture in one design.
Mirror card stock gives your project a reflective finish rather than a glitter texture. It is a great choice when you want a clean, metallic layer that catches the light.
Use mirror card for:
If you need base card, inserts, or everyday stock to use with glitter and mirror finishes, visit the card collection to find coordinating cardstock for your next project.

Explore the Crafter’s Companion range to find the colors, packs, sizes, and finishes that suit your next make. Choose your finish, check the product details, and order the card stock you need to bring your handmade cards, scrapbook pages, gifts, and paper crafts to life.
Many types of glitter card stock can be used with die-cutting machines, but results depend on the card thickness, die design, and machine pressure. Simple shapes usually cut more easily than very detailed designs. Test one small piece before cutting your final project.
Yes. Mirror card stock pairs well with glitter cardstock because the finishes contrast nicely. Try gold mirror card with copper or rose glitter cardstock for a warm celebration look, or silver mirror card with blue or lilac glitter cardstock for winter, wedding, and holiday crafts.
Store glitter card and mirror card flat in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep sheets in their pack or in a storage folder to help prevent bending, scratches, and dust. Sorting by color or finish makes it easier to find the right stock when you are ready to craft.
