8 1/2 x 11 Cardstock - Silver Metallic

Great quality paper! I purchased it for making handmade greeting cards, and it’s perfect. The paper is thick, has a beautiful metallic shimmer, and is exactly what I was looking for.

This is very nice cardstock (especially for the price.) I was interested in using it to make pillow boxes and craft projects but no one could tell me if I could emboss it. I bought some to try out for myself. It cuts, embosses, rubber stamps, punches, and glues beautifully! I rubber stamped with a permanent ink (Stazon) and had no problem but the gold does give it a kind of antique look (clock face & small hand in photo.) I used a paper punch (flower), wafer thin dies (small tags & star), embossing folders (love, bird, & pillow box) on it and glued the pillow box. The tape type glue didn't work very well on the box so I tried a strong wet glue (Glossy Accents) and it works great. The only place I ran into trouble was scoring and bending the curved ends of the pillow box because the paper is quite thick (a bit thicker than my normal cardstock I use for making cards) but, as you can see in the photo, it was doable with a little gentle care. This paper has a white core and can be sanded to bring out the highlights of the embossing but I didn't care for the effect on the gold. It just made the gold look dull but that's a matter of preference. Overall, I'm very pleased with this paper and would buy it again. BTW, the photo shows up rather dark. The paper is a mustard gold and is more like the lightest colors in my photo. It is reflective but not shiny like a foil.

We used this paper to print our wedding invitations. They were printed with a business-quality laser printer and turned out beautifully. The toner adhered well to the paper and was nice and vibrant. We had a lot of color in our invitations so I was a little worried about how it would look but it ended up working perfectly. One thing to keep in mind is if you are using a lot of darker toner to print, those areas take more toner and therefore you won't be able to see the shimmer of the paper as much. This worked just fine for us as we ended up liking the variance but definitely something to note.

This is a great stock. I purchased the quartz paper to use as menus for my wedding and its a great shade of white and the perfect weight to use as a menu. The quartz color is more of an off white and provides a great contrast to the printed text and graphics. I printed via InDesign using CMYK to a mid-high end Canon business copier/printer with fiery and the print matched the screen perfectly. Its a thicker paper so you need to tell your printer that to ensure it doesnt speed it through and jam or bleed the ink. I dont know how this would work on a smaller inkjet style printer though, but as long as its paper path isnt curved much it should feed through ok. Always use the bypass or manual feed tray for this paper, do not use it in paper trays. My paper was a little bent at one corner, but its not the fault of the manufacturer and likely an amazon stocking or packaging issue. I used a paper cutter on it to trim the final prints and that removed the damage anyway.

This was a properly thick stock that worked very well for my cousin's wedding invitations. It shipped with 2-day prime and that's exactly what I needed on a time crunch! It was packaged very well and arrived safely. It is equivalent to #100 to #120 Cover stocks. As a designer, I was most familiar with Mohawk's Curious line of metallic paper and I found that while the Curious paper is ever so slightly sparklier and has a slightly different tooth, it has a blueish hue to it when placed next to this paper. This is a true silver, not too dark. I assume people that thought it was too dark either ordered or were accidentally sent the "Anthracite Metallic" shade of this paper. It worked fine with a large laser printer although the weight of this and any stock of this thick is about at the limit of what most laser printers can accept before you run into printing issues. Make sure you are selecting the heaviest paper stock options available in your print dialog box before sending the print job. If there are multiple you should try a few and see what looks best.

this is very sturdy cardstock, I wasn’t expecting it to be so heavy which a good thing, I didn’t want super flimsy stock. It isn’t as shimmery as I had hoped, but it does have a nice subtle sheen. It printed well in my inkjet printer, though it was softer and less crisp than other shimmery papers I’ve used, but foggy printing is kind of par for the course with metallic papers in my experience so I’m not mad at it. (I don’t recommend if you want super crispy photo perfect printing, also if you’re printing multiples areas with heavy black take a bit longer to dry, so pull them out of the paper tray before the next page comes out) I would order again, its a good price, and I was very pleased with the weight/sturdiness.

i used this paper to print signs that would be framed for my wedding reception and they came out absolutely perfect. the cardstock is heavy, but not so heavy that it can't go through a printer. the shimmer is on both sides...this surprised me because other shimmer cardstock i've purchased only has it on 1 side. and the color...well, that's probably the best part!! it's hard to tell from the picture so i took a complete leap of faith when i ordered ...it's a gorgeous champagne pearl color, very high-end looking and feeling. trust me, you won't be disappointed in this purchase. the price was good too...i had planned to use some cardstock i purchased from Michael's...i bought 14 sheets at .89 each. this purchase was only $13.99 for 50 sheets and it is a much better quality.

Not what I expected really matte

I bought this paper for printing certificates, I want a simple one without any color border, so this one is really what I need! Certificate, invitation , and artistic uses..... the quality is good. The color is shown as the picture. If the color can be a little lighter , that will be perfect for me. Well, it was a good one I found so far.

I am very happy with this purchase. The cardstock has a bit of gloss but is elegant and the shine is subtle. It was perfect for my Christmas cards! The paper came quickly and all sheets were in perfect condition.

Not as shimmery as I had hoped. Good quality paper.

Couldn't find cardstock in shops so bought this. Not useful for the following reasons : 1. Cannot use marker or rubbed stamp ink due to metallic coating. 2. Cannot easily fold, too thick. Would not repurchase.
