Moonlight Black Glitter Cardstock

Moonlight Black glitter cardstock is black the way a night sky is black — a smoky, softened charcoal with a silvery, gunmetal shimmer that catches light like moonlight on water. Where our black glitter is a true deep black, moonlight black reads a shade lighter and cooler, with noticeably more sparkle. Single-sided 250 gsm shed-free glitter on a white backing.

Best uses for moonlight black glitter cardstock

• Moody & celestial wedding decor: The charcoal-and-silver palette that anchors starry-night and celestial themes. Pairs beautifully with silver glitter and icy blue glitter.
• New Year's Eve party signs: More shimmer than true black, so banners and cake toppers sparkle in low evening light instead of going flat.
• Elegant Halloween: The "haunted mansion" alternative to true black — witchy and atmospheric without the harsh contrast. Pair with purple glitter.
• Layering next to pastels: When true black overpowers a soft palette, moonlight black gives you the dark layer with a gentler edge — that's it cut lace-fine in our invitation photo.

Frequently asked questions

How is moonlight black different from regular black glitter cardstock?

Our regular black is a true deep black with sparkle. Moonlight black is a smoky charcoal — a shade lighter, cooler in tone, and with a silvery shimmer that reads almost gunmetal in bright light. If you want maximum contrast, choose black; if you want the softer, starry-night look, choose moonlight black.

Will moonlight black glitter cardstock work for cake toppers?

Yes — 250 gsm holds its shape on a topper stick without drooping, and the shed-free glitter won't dust your cake with stray sparkle.

What Cricut setting should I use?

On a Cricut Maker, Custom → "Glitter Cardstock," or Heavy Cardstock with the Fine Point Blade. Cricut Joy and Cricut Explore: Glitter Cardstock preset. Always run a test cut on a corner first.

Does moonlight black glitter cardstock shed?

No — the glitter is sealed into the sheet, not glued to the surface. Cut it, score it, and fold it with no sparkle left behind.
