Handmade cards become extra special when designed with a creative touch, and cardstock is the perfect base to make them shine. A simple sheet of cardstock can be transformed into something eye-catching with just a few easy techniques. Layering different shades of cardstock creates depth and dimension, while embossing gives a textured look that feels elegant. Using glitter cardstock or metallic finishes can bring a festive sparkle, ideal for birthdays, weddings, or seasonal greetings. For a softer style, patterned cardstock paper works beautifully to highlight themes and moods. Even small details like die-cut shapes, borders, or stamped designs can instantly elevate a plain card into a thoughtful keepsake. With just a little creativity, cardstock can turn simple handmade cards into memorable works of art.
