Paper Crafts Scrapbooking Guide: Stickers, Glitter Paper, Floral Paper, and Cardstock

Choose vintage stickers for journaling accents, floral paper for cardmaking, glitter paper for shimmer, or bulk colored cardstock when you need the widest sheet assortment.

Last updated Jul 11

Choosing supplies for paper crafts scrapbooking usually comes down to the project you are making first: a junk journal needs accents, a handmade card may need patterned backgrounds, party décor may need shimmer, and larger cutting projects may need a deeper stack of cardstock. The four picks here cover different creative roles, so the best choice is less about one overall winner and more about matching sheet count, finish, theme, and listed price to your next project.

Quick take

  • Best for junk journals and decorative accents: 300 Pcs Vintage Stickers, Junk Journal Supplies, Cute Stickers for Journaling, because the pack centers on vintage-style sticker decoration rather than blank paper.
  • Best for floral cards and small scrapbook layouts: Floral Craft Paper Pack 6"x 6" ~12 designs x 2 sheets Hydrangea Love Cardstock, with a coordinated hydrangea theme and single-sided designs.
  • Best for sparkle-heavy projects: 60 Sheets Glitter Paper, 8.5" x 11" Shimmering Paper 15 Colors 12, thanks to its metallic glitter finish and blank reverse side.
  • Best for a broad color supply: Colored Cardstock 50 Colors Bulk 150 Sheets,12" x 12" Cardstock Paper, 180 GS, which is the largest paper assortment in this group.

Concise product notes

300 Pcs Vintage Stickers, Junk Journal Supplies, Cute Stickers for Journaling

This is the most direct pick when your paper crafts scrapbooking project needs decoration rather than base paper. The vintage theme, vinyl material, irregular shapes, and mix of butterflies, ferns, mushrooms, flowers, plants, and newspaper-style designs make it useful for junk journals, postcards, letters, and layered scrapbook pages. The reason to choose it is the sheer sticker quantity and ready-to-place format, especially if you want quick visual detail without cutting patterned sheets first. The limitation is that it is not a cardstock or paper pad, so it will not serve as the structural base for cards, albums, or die-cut paper pieces.

Floral Craft Paper Pack 6"x 6" ~12 designs x 2 sheets Hydrangea Love Cardstock

The Hydrangea Love pack is a good match for smaller cards, tags, mini albums, and decorative panels where a unified floral look matters. It includes 12 designs with duplicate sheets, so you can repeat a pattern across matching projects or use one sheet whole and cut the other into collage pieces. The blank back also gives room for notes, greetings, or hidden journaling. Its main limitation is the compact format and themed style: if you need a wide rainbow of plain colors or larger sheets for big die-cut shapes, this floral paper pad is more focused than broad.

60 Sheets Glitter Paper, 8.5" x 11" Shimmering Paper 15 Colors 12

Choose this glitter paper when the project calls for shine: card fronts, party decorations, school projects, collages, iris folding, origami, or scrapbook accents. The metallic glitter finish gives it a more decorative role than plain cardstock, and the white reverse side can be useful where writing or drawing is part of the design. It is also described as not self-adhesive, which can be a positive if you want to place it with your own glue or tape. The limitation is clear for printer-based crafters: it is described as not suitable for printers, so it is better for cutting, folding, and embellishing.

Colored Cardstock 50 Colors Bulk 150 Sheets,12" x 12" Cardstock Paper, 180 GS

This cardstock pack is the strongest fit when you want a larger supply for repeat crafting, color matching, and seasonal projects. The title highlights 50 colors and a bulk sheet count, while the description points to uses such as greeting cards, cake decorations, bunting, origami, scrapbooking, gift decorations, tags, banners, and party décor. Its reason to choose is range: it gives you many color choices in one pack instead of one theme or finish. The limitation is that it is the highest-priced item in this comparison, and it is plain colored cardstock rather than vintage stickers, floral prints, or glitter-finish paper.

Final recommendation

For most paper crafts scrapbooking shoppers, start by separating decorative accents from base paper. If your pages already have backgrounds and you mainly want charm, labels, and layered details, the 300 Pcs Vintage Stickers, Junk Journal Supplies, Cute Stickers for Journaling is the simplest low-price choice in the group. It is especially fitting for junk journals because the title and description both center on journaling stickers and vintage artwork.

If you are making cards or small scrapbook sections with a soft floral style, the Floral Craft Paper Pack 6"x 6" ~12 designs x 2 sheets Hydrangea Love Cardstock is the better focused pick. It gives you coordinated hydrangea designs instead of a mixed general craft assortment.

For shimmer, choose the 60 Sheets Glitter Paper, 8.5" x 11" Shimmering Paper 15 Colors 12. Its metallic glitter finish makes the most sense for decorative panels, party pieces, and accents where shine is the point.

If you want one larger paper supply for many projects, the Colored Cardstock 50 Colors Bulk 150 Sheets,12" x 12" Cardstock Paper, 180 GS is the broadest choice despite sitting at the top of the listed price range. Pick it when color variety and cardstock quantity matter more than a single theme or specialty finish.
