The foundation of every great scrapbooking or cardmaking project is great paper. Here at Close To My Heart, we’ve got a full-blown cardstock celebration going on, and we want to share these amazing papers with the world! In addition to our incredible selection of cardstock colors, this Cardstock Carnival also features an incredible selection of specialty UV-coated cardstock. Let’s check it out!

To create this specialized cardstock pack, we selected a rainbow of twelve cardstock colors and flooded one entire side of each sheet with shiny UV coating. We’ve never offered this feature on cardstock before, and we are loving the way it enhances the artwork we’ve been creating with it! The extra bit of shine from this cardstock makes it easy to create unique, stand-out artwork.

Here, you can really see the UV shine as it creates an eye-catching focal point for this scrapbook page. This cardstock can be used in small pieces for accent work, or in larger pieces for glossy titles, backdrops, or even base pages!

Of course, if you’ve ever used our cardstock before, you know that it’s already amazing, even without UV coating or other special treatments. Each of our 41 exclusive colors of cardstock comes with the true color on one side and a lighter version on the other. Looking to match other products in our color palette exactly? There’s an option for that! Looking for subtle color variations throughout your projects? Well, there’s an option for that, too! It’s like having two cardstock sheets in one!

Another standout feature of our cardstock is the central white core. This feature allows for greater color saturation and a more vibrant finish. It also provides a dramatic contrast effect when you use artistic tearing or distressing techniques in your artwork! Because our cardstock also has a heavier weight than most papers of its type, it stands up better to tearing and distressing techniques, and also results in projects with greater longevity.

With so much to love about our top-notch cardstock, it’s no wonder that our annual Cardstock Carnival is cause for celebration! Hop on our website today and join the festivities! Be sure to check out the exclusive color match bundles, as well as a special, comprehensive bundle that includes several sheets of every color of cardstock we carry!* That’s over 275 sheets of cardstock, all at a bargain! (*Our White Daisy cardstock is not available in this super bundle but is available at a discounted price as part of the Cardstock Carnival offers.)
