Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these cards printer-friendly?

While the thickness is suitable for most printers, the dark color means standard inkjet or laser printing will not be visible unless using specialized white or metallic toner.

Can I use watercolor on these cards?

The 220gsm cardstock can handle light watercolor, but it is not specifically treated as watercolor paper, so keep water usage minimal to prevent buckling.

What is the size of the cards?

The cards are 12.7 x 17.8cm, which is the standard 5x7 inch format.

Are the envelopes included?

Yes, the set comes with four matching 120gsm envelopes.

Is the cardstock acid-free?

Yes, both the cards and envelopes are acid and lignin-free, making them safe for archival scrapbooking.

Can I use these for card making with punches?

Yes, the 220gsm weight is excellent for use with paper punches and die-cutting machines.

Troubleshooting

Pen ink is not visible on the card

Switch to an opaque white gel pen, metallic paint marker, or pigment-based ink pen for better contrast.

Envelope adhesive not sticking

Ensure the adhesive strip is slightly dampened. Do not over-saturate as this may weaken the paper fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, durable 220gsm cardstock
  • Acid and lignin-free for long-lasting projects
  • Perfect for markers, stamps, and paper craft embellishments
  • Professional look with matching envelopes

Cons

  • Dark color limits choice of writing implements
  • Small pack size (4 cards) may not suit bulk mailing
  • Interior requires metallic or white gel pens for visibility

Setup, Compatibility & Care

There is no complex setup required for this stationery. For the best results, ensure you are using pens that offer high opacity, such as white gel pens, opaque paint markers, or metallic fine liners, as standard black ink will not be visible on the dark green finish.

Care Instructions:

  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture from affecting the gum adhesive on the envelopes.
  • Handling: Avoid excessive handling of the card face before crafting to prevent skin oils from interfering with ink or adhesive applications.
  • Sealing: Lightly moisten the adhesive gum on the envelope flap using a sponge or envelope moistener rather than direct contact with your tongue to ensure a cleaner seal.
