There are times when I want to use a printable cardstock with a bit of shimmer and this printable Metallic Champagne Cardstock is the answer!
Perhaps your wedding invitation, party banner, party sign or printable tags may need a little sheen. After searching and trying out multiple papers, I found this Printable Metallic Champagne Cardstock on called Metallic Champagne cardstock. It is really more of a shimmer than metallic, but I LOVE it.
I have used it for a number of projects over the past three years, so now I feel confident to give it my personal stamp of approval! It should be called Ivory Shimmer cardstock, instead of Champagne Metallic cardstock, but that is my only major negative feedback. I have experimented with four of the subtle shades of ivory, gray and silver in the shimmer collection.
CARDSTOCK SPECIFICATIONS:
- Size: 8 1/2 x 11 Cardstock 8 1/2 in x 11 in / 8.5” x 11” / 216mm x 280mm / Letter Size, 105lb cover
- Color: Champagne Metallic shimmers under light and it looks ivory rather than champagne.
- Prefer a White Shimmer instead of Ivory? I recommend the 120 GSM White Shimmer
- Quantity: Pack of 50
- Prints well on ink jet and laser home printers. I use the Epson Expression
PRODUCT USES:
- Cuts, scores and folds well when I used my Cricut to make the banner in my sample photo as well as when I cut the laser like wedding invitations in the photo below. It cuts beautifully.
- Works well for tags, invites, banners, cards, envelopes, folders, signs, electronic cutting, stamping, scrapbooks, etc.
- Can write on the paper with a Sharpie and it will not smear.
- Pay close attention when printing heavy dark patterns, as I did experience some bleed. When I re-adjusted my paper settings, the results improved tremendously.
- Since this is an ivory paper, colors will not be as vibrant, but the dark colors show off the shimmer.
- I do not recommend this paper for printing photographs.
- It is difficult to see the shimmer when you photograph the final product, but in “real life” the paper is gorgeous!
I am continually testing papers for my own paper crafting projects as well as referring printable cardstock options to my customers. As the owner of Baer Design Studio, I design and sell digital artwork which gets downloaded and my customers print at home. Printing digital artwork at home can be intimidating, so I try to make this an easy and enjoyable experience for all.
