Great non shedding glitter cardstock
I'm a 20+ year card maker and am particularly into glitzy cardstock so have bought rather a lot over that time of all different shades & finishes.Given the price, I was expecting this set to have some extra special qualities I'd not encountered before or something to account for it, but sadly not the case. The cardstock is the weight described and is a good quality one in that you can fold it and bone it (run along the crease with a 'bone' folder), without any cracking which is evident in lighter cardstock. And even with folding there's no shedding whatsoever.The difficulty for me is the colour - I appreciate that this is often one of the hardest things to truly represent on screen given the huge variety of screen resolutions etc, but the description image looks like a really strong shade of pink, whereas in reality the colour comes closest to what I'd call a peachy pink - the colour showing in my photo is honestly as accurate as I could ensure it.It is on the more expensive side of the pricing spectrum for such card and if you really want non shedding glitter card then this may be suitable for you. It's ultimately what you're paying for.If you've found this review in any way helpful, please click the button below to let me know - thanks :)

Good quality card, lovely colour, no glitter shed BUT expensive.
The title says it all. The card is really thick at 250gsm so it has a bit of weight to it and looks great when using for arts and crafts. The colour is beautiful and a really nice, rather unique shade of pink. Perhaps it is because of the glitter but it looks quite different to the other shades of pink I have in my 'card' stash. So, in terms of looks and feel, this is excellent stuff.It also claims to be glitter shed free and, having used a couple of sheets to make some cards, I can say they do succeed. The glitter looks quite prominent on the surface of the card and when I received it, I didn't have high hopes and genuinely expected to find glitter everywhere just from taking them out of the packaging but... nothing. I even tried scratching some off a bit of spare card and it didn't come off so that's excellent.HOWEVER, it is very, very expensive. You get 10 sheets, currently priced at £8.50 so you're paying just shy of a pound per sheet. If you do a bit of research and look elsewhere online, you can find very, very similar products at about half of the price. If it were priced more appropriately, this is something I would come back for.

Doesn't shed, a bit fragile
This card is beautiful to look at and a very pretty colour. The lantern in the picture was cut using dies in a manual die cutting machine, it cut beautifully but I found it a bit fragile and it did tear a bit. I made a simple card using my Silhouette Cameo cutting machine. The built in settings for glitter card were blade 6 speed 3 and pressure 33, I tried these setting with a test cut and it didn't cut through, I increased the blade to 7 and did two passes, it still didn't cut through until I did a third pass. I also found that some of the backing from the card came away when I was weeding out the small pieces, also some of the backing came away and stuck to my cutting mat even though the cutting mat had been used many times.Conclusion - I would buy this card because it is so pretty and it definitely doesn't shed, I would use it for matting and layering and cutting with my Cuttlebug or my Cut n Boss but I don't think that I would use with my Cameo.

Great Quality but Expensive
This is really nice card,suitable for crafting. As my Mum is an avid Carder I've become something of an expert on various kinds of card,what thickness is required and not least card quality.This pack of A4 Iridescent Pink glitter Card is top quality and a rather unusual,and attractive,shade of Pink.The card is claimed to be Non-Shed in the Amazon description,basically it won't leave a trail of glitter in it's wake, BUT, on the back of the insert in the packet that,as shown in the second picture, changes to "Virtually" Non-Shed,which isn't the same thing.While the quality is undeniable and the colour something a bit different this card does fall down in the value stakes. For a ,current,price of £8.50 you get 10 sheets of 250 gsm Glitter Card. A quick check on Amazon and from my experience of 3 well-known High Street Shops that I've regularly bought card from shows that this is very poor value for money,you can get the same number and thickness of card from less than £4 quite easily. I haven't,however,come across this particular colour before,and it is a bit special,so if the colour appeals and you really must have it go for it. That aside you can do far better for your money.

GSM 250 and greatly reduced glitter shedding
✅ This is good quality thick card with a GSM of 250. GSM is a measure of weight and not necessarily thickness but there is likely to be a correlation between the two. We think 250 GSM puts this in the hand made card range as it still has good bend quality.✅ This is an interesting pink colour with glitter and whilst we wouldn't necessarily have been looking for this size pack of this colour card its a very useful addition to our stock of crafting card.✅ This is definitely reduced shed glitter. You will get some shedding but not a lot.No complaints but perhaps a little expensive.

No shed glitter - cuts well with cricut
Good quality glitter card. I found it cut really well with my cricut maker. Ive used to make a cake topper and happy with the results. Very little glitter sheds so my mats don’t get ruined. The glitter is just on the one side and the reverse is white.A little on the pricey side, none the less a very pretty pink glitter. Will use in many craft projects. Would recommend!
