Glitter Cardstock(721)

You can shop glitter cardstock on Walmart.com and, in many areas, in the store’s arts and crafts section. Availability can vary by location, so it’s helpful to check online first.

• Search under Arts, Crafts & Sewing or Office Supplies to see the full selection.
• Use filters to narrow by size (8.5 x 11 or 12 x 12), color, and features like double-sided or no-shed glitter paper.
• Review the product details for weight (GSM) and surface finish to match your project.
• Choose convenient fulfillment options like pickup or delivery where offered.

If you’re crafting on a deadline, consider ordering online and selecting pickup to confirm the glitter cardstock is ready before you head to the store.

It depends on the specific glitter cardstock and your printer, but many glitter finishes aren’t designed for inkjet or laser printing. Some options are even labeled “not suitable for printing.”

• Check the product description for printability notes and the surface type (glitter front vs. smooth back).
• If printing directly isn’t recommended, consider these workarounds:
• • Print on plain cardstock or sticker paper, then layer onto the glitter cardstock.
  • Print on a separate sheet and adhere using double-sided tape or a glue runner.
• For text or shapes, you can also cut letters and designs and layer them onto glitter paper.

Testing a single sheet first can help you see what works best with your printer and project.

If you’re adding loose glitter to regular cardstock (or enhancing glitter paper), a few simple steps can help:

1. Prep: Work over a tray or scrap paper to catch excess. Lightly dust the cardstock so adhesive grips well.
2. Adhesive: Apply a thin, even coat of a clear-drying craft glue, glue pen, or use double-sided adhesive sheets for crisp edges.
3. Apply: Sprinkle fine or ultra-fine glitter generously, then tap or shake off the extra.
4. Set: Gently press with clean paper to improve adhesion and let dry fully.
5. Seal (optional): A light coat of clear-drying sealer can reduce shedding. Use in a well-ventilated area and follow product directions.

Results can vary by glitter type and adhesive, so a small test swatch is a good idea.

Glitter cardstock is great for adding sparkle without the mess of loose glitter. Popular uses include:

• Cards and invitations: Layer shapes, borders, or titles for impact.
• Banners and party decor: Cut letters, numbers, and pennants for birthdays and holidays.
• Gift tags and boxes: Score and fold for sturdy accents.
• Scrapbooking: Create photo mats, frames, and die-cut elements.
• Table accents and toppers: Use as decorative elements that aren’t meant for direct food contact.

For crisp folds, score before bending. If you want less mess, look for “no-shed” or sealed finishes. Mixing sizes (8.5 x 11 and 12 x 12) helps match cardmaking and scrapbook layouts.

Weight affects sturdiness and how easy the sheet is to cut and fold. Here’s a general guide:

• Around 200–250 GSM: Good for layering, hand punches, and simple shapes. Easier to cut and score.
• About 280–300 GSM (often called 100–110 lb): Feels more rigid for banners, boxes, and keepsake cards. May require a sharp blade or multiple passes with some tools.
• Double-sided glitter: Adds bold sparkle on both faces and extra thickness; plan for stronger adhesion and cutting pressure.

Check product details for GSM and finish, then do a small test cut or score. If you’re making dimensional projects, the heavier options can add durability, while lighter weights are great for intricate layering.
