FAQs

What does 'acid-free' mean for these cards?

Acid-free means the paper is processed to remove acids, which prevents the paper from yellowing, becoming brittle, or deteriorating over time. This is crucial for preserving your artwork and memories.

Can I use these cards with a printer?

While they are designed for manual crafting, you may be able to print on them if your printer can handle cardstock of this thickness. It's recommended to test with a blank card first and check your printer's specifications for cardstock compatibility.

What are the dimensions of the cards and envelopes?

The cards and their corresponding envelopes are 5 inches by 7 inches (5"x7").

How many cards and envelopes are in a pack?

Each pack contains 10 kraft cards and 10 matching kraft envelopes.

What kind of crafts are these best suited for?

They are ideal for handmade greeting cards, invitations, scrapbooking, mixed media art, small art pieces, and home décor elements.

Can I paint on this kraft cardstock?

Yes, you can paint on the kraft cardstock. Watercolors, acrylics, and gouache work well. For very wet techniques, a primer or sealant might help prevent buckling.

Are the envelopes lined?

No, the envelopes are plain kraft material, matching the cards.

Troubleshooting

Cardstock feels rough or inconsistent.

This is characteristic of kraft paper; it offers a natural texture. If a smoother surface is required for fine detail, consider adding a layer of gesso or primer before decorating.

Ink or paint bleeds through the card.

While generally durable, some highly fluid inks or paints might bleed. Test your mediums on a scrap piece first. For heavier applications, a light coat of sealant or primer can help create a more robust surface.

Envelope flap doesn't seal well.

Ensure the adhesive surface is clean and dry. If needed, use a small piece of double-sided tape or a glue stick to reinforce the seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These cards and envelopes require no setup. They are ready to use straight out of the packaging. Simply take a card and begin your creative process.

Compatibility: The 5"x7" cards are compatible with most standard crafting mediums, including markers, colored pencils, watercolors, acrylic paints, stamps, inks, glues, and decorative embellishments. The kraft envelopes are designed to fit the 5"x7" cards snugly.

Care: To ensure the longevity of your creations on these cards:

  1. Store unused cards and envelopes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

  3. If using wet mediums like paint or heavy ink, consider using a slightly heavier cardstock or applying a sealant to prevent warping.
