From Meh to Marvelous: Why 350gsm Black Cards Steal the Show

The Dark Side of Crafting

White cards are fine… if you’re a beginner or planning to colour inside the lines. Sometimes your project needs drama, contrast, and a base sturdy enough to hold half a craft store. Enter our new 350gsm black pre-scored card blanks—in square, A5 folding to A6, and A4 folding to A5. They’re not just blanks; they’re blank canvases of doom (in a good way).

Why These Blanks Deserve Respect

• 350gsm of “don’t mess with me” — these cards could probably prop up a wobbly table.
• Pre-scored folds — because life’s too short to fight a bone folder.
• Three sizes — big, classic, and satisfyingly square.
• VAT & free shipping — no surprise charges lurking in the checkout shadows.

Ridiculously Good Uses

• Wedding invitations — Black + gold foil = “We’re fancy and probably serving canapés.”
• Thank-you cards — Metallic lettering on black looks effortlessly sophisticated.
• Holiday cards — Silver on black screams “classy,” not “last-minute panic.”
• Minimalist birthdays — Clean lettering + chunky card = mantelpiece magnet.
• Craft fairs — Stand out from the endless white-card crowd.
• Scrapbooking & photo mounts — Give your memories a dramatic backdrop.

Tools & Decorations That Will Blow Minds

Want your cards to look so good people ask if you bought them? Start here:

• Metallic gel pens — shiny, shimmering ink that pops like fireworks. Grab a set
• Chalk markers — bold, opaque, and just a bit rebellious. Liquid chalk pens
• Hot foil / stamping machines — add a level of sparkle that screams “expensive wedding" then go full pro with this bronzing beast.
• Bonus pen set — because you can never have too many pens. See it here

Tips from the Dark Arts of Black Card

• Contrast is king: metallic, neon, or bright colours love a dark base.
• Layers = luxury: vellum overlays or kraft envelopes make black sing.
• Keep it clean: black shows fingerprints like a crime scene—wipe hands, craft happy.
• Test first: grab a 5-pack before you go full Picasso on a 25-pack.
