Choosing supplies for paper crafts scrapbooking usually comes down to the kind of project you want to build: layered scrapbook pages, junk journals, handmade cards, party decor, or small embellishments. The right pick is not always the largest pack or the lowest price. Stickers can finish a page quickly, cardstock gives structure, glitter paper adds shine, and vintage paper sets create background texture.

Listed price comparison
The listed prices run from USD 8.65 to USD 33.14, with the lowest price about 74% below the highest. That spread matters because these are different supply types: sticker embellishments, decorative papers, glitter sheets, and cardstock do not replace one another exactly.

Concise product notes
60 Sheets Glitter Paper, 8.5" x 11" Shimmering Paper 15 Colors 12
This is the pick for crafters who want a visible shimmer effect rather than a plain paper surface. The metallic glitter finish makes sense for card making, scrapbook borders, party decorations, origami accents, iris folding, and collage layers. The paper is described as easy to cut and fold, which is useful if your projects involve shaped pieces rather than full sheets. A practical limitation is that it is not self-adhesive, so it needs a separate adhesive method for layering. It is also described as not suitable for printers, making it better for hand-cut or machine-cut decorative work than printed designs.
300 Pcs Vintage Stickers, Junk Journal Supplies, Cute Stickers for Journaling
This sticker pack is the easiest choice when you want to add decorative elements without cutting paper sheets into shapes. The designs lean into butterflies, ferns, mushrooms, flowers, plants, and vintage newspaper-style imagery, so it fits junk journals, travel scrapbooks, postcards, letters, and gift accents with an old-world or nature theme. The vinyl material is described as waterproof and sun-resistant, and the stickers are made to peel, reposition, and remove without sticky residue. The limitation is format: because these are irregular sheet-form stickers, they are embellishments rather than base papers for cards, matting, or large page backgrounds.
Colored Cardstock 50 Colors Bulk 150 Sheets,12" x 12" Cardstock Paper, 180 GS
Choose this cardstock when color range is the main goal. The set focuses on assorted colors for greeting cards, cake decorations, bunting, origami, scrapbooking, gift decorations, tags, banners, party decor, and die-cut projects. The 180 GSM paper and fully dyed construction are useful when folds, cuts, or tears would otherwise reveal a white core. It is also described as compatible with die-cut machines, embossing folders, ink, stamps, and glitter. The tradeoff is that it is the highest listed price in this group, so it makes the most sense when you will use the broad color selection rather than just a few accent sheets.
200 Sheets of Vintage Scrapbook Paper, Journaling 6 Theme
The emmoolife vintage paper set is built for background atmosphere and layered journal pages. Its themes include painting brush, flower, nature, portrait, palette, pigment, magazine, reminiscence, handwritten script, newspaper advertisements, journey, music sheets, celestial, and map motifs, which makes it more varied than a single-theme paper pad. The washi material is described as durable, repositionable, and tearable, so it suits collage, decoupage, handmade cards, envelopes, planners, and scrapbook albums. The limitation is that the artistic vintage look is specific; if you need bright solid-color bases or glitter shine, the cardstock or glitter paper will be a closer match.
How to choose among them
Start with the role the supply needs to play on the page. For a base layer, cardstock is the more natural choice because it is centered on colorful sheets for cards, tags, banners, and cutting. For a finishing layer, stickers are more efficient because the decorative shapes are already created. For a statement accent, glitter paper gives the most shine. For a soft, aged collage look, vintage scrapbook paper offers themed backgrounds and torn-paper styling.
Think about whether you want adhesive pieces or cuttable sheets. The vintage stickers are already made for placement as decorative elements. The glitter paper, cardstock, and scrapbook paper are better when you want to cut, fold, tear, layer, or combine pieces manually. If your project involves a cutting machine, the glitter paper and cardstock descriptions are the more relevant ones here; if your project involves collage textures, the washi vintage paper stands out.
Also consider color direction. The cardstock is for broad assorted color coverage. The glitter paper is for shine and metallic decoration. The sticker pack and vintage paper set both lean more antique and nature-inspired, but they serve different purposes: the stickers are small accents, while the paper set can build backgrounds and layers.
Final recommendation
For the lowest listed spend, pick 300 Pcs Vintage Stickers, Junk Journal Supplies, Cute Stickers for Journaling at USD 8.65 if you mainly need easy embellishments for journals, letters, postcards, or scrapbook accents. For a balanced decorative sheet option, 60 Sheets Glitter Paper, 8.5" x 11" Shimmering Paper 15 Colors 12 at USD 17.49 is the best match when sparkle is central to the project.
If your pages need vintage depth rather than shine, choose 200 Sheets of Vintage Scrapbook Paper, Journaling 6 Theme at USD 21.09 for collage, decoupage, and themed journal layering. If you want the widest color range and sturdy craft-paper utility, Colored Cardstock 50 Colors Bulk 150 Sheets,12" x 12" Cardstock Paper, 180 GS at USD 33.14 is the most complete color-focused option in this set.
