Black Glitter Cardstock

Black glitter cardstock is the most-versatile glitter color we sell — and our top-shipped glitter sheet of all time. True deep black, no muddy gray cast, and zero shedding when you cut, fold, or score it. Single-sided 250 gsm glitter on a clean white backing.

Best uses for black glitter cardstock

• Cake toppers & party signs: Black is the most-photographed topper color we ship — the contrast pops on every cake color, and the 250 gsm holds its shape on a topper stick without drooping.
• Halloween crafts: The single most-reordered glitter color in October. Pair with orange and purple glitter for the classic Halloween palette.
• Wedding monograms & signage: Black glitter against an ivory or champagne backdrop reads timelessly elegant. Use it for table numbers, seating charts, and signature-drink signs.
• Layered Cricut designs: Black is the workhorse layering color. Use it as the back layer behind any brighter glitter to make the design read clean.

Frequently asked questions

Will black glitter cardstock work for cake toppers?

Yes — 250 gsm is the sweet spot for cake toppers. It's heavy enough to hold its shape on a topper stick without drooping, and because our glitter is shed-free, it won't dust your cake with stray sparkle.

What Cricut setting should I use for black glitter cardstock?

On a Cricut Maker, set the dial to Custom and choose "Glitter Cardstock," or use the Heavy Cardstock preset with the Fine Point Blade. For Cricut Joy and Cricut Explore, the Glitter Cardstock preset works as-is. Always run a test cut on a corner before your final design.

Does black glitter cardstock shed?

No — our glitter is sealed into the sheet, not glued to the surface. Cut it, score it, and run it through a Cricut Maker without sparkle ending up on your hands or in your machine bed.

Is this paper acid-free?

Yes — all of our glitter cardstock is acid-free and lignin-free, so it's safe for scrapbook pages, photo albums, and anything you want to hold up over time.
