Product Information

Full details

Designed for paper crafters, card makers, and stationery enthusiasts, this Hobbycraft A6 set provides a sophisticated, professional foundation for custom invitations, birthdays, and wedding stationery. The key benefit is the high-quality, pearlescent finish that adds an instant touch of elegance to any handmade project without requiring additional embellishments. While these cards offer excellent durability, the 210g cardstock weight is best suited for light to medium-weight crafting, such as stamping, stickers, or layering die-cuts, rather than heavy mixed-media applications.

FAQs

Are these cards suitable for fountain pens?

Yes, but due to the pearlescent coating, ink will sit on top longer. Ensure you use an ink that dries quickly to avoid smudging.

What is the weight of the cardstock?

The cards are 210g, providing a sturdy, professional weight suitable for most greeting cards.

Can I use these cards for wedding invitations?

Absolutely; the pearlescent pink finish provides a high-quality, elegant base that is well-suited for formal invitations.

Are the envelopes also pearlescent?

The set includes 120g envelopes designed to match the cards perfectly.

How should I store these cards?

Keep them in their original packaging in a cool, dry environment to maintain their archival, acid-free quality.

Troubleshooting

Ink smearing during stamping

The pearlescent finish is non-porous; allow extra drying time or use a heat gun on a low setting to set the ink.

Printer jamming

Ensure you are using the manual feed tray and set your printer to 'Heavy Cardstock' or 'Cardboard' mode in the print settings.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, professional pearlescent aesthetic
  • Acid and lignin-free archival quality
  • Coordinated envelopes included for convenience
  • Sturdy 210g weight provides a quality feel

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy wet-media like thick watercolors
  • Limited to one color and size variant
  • Pearlescent finish may require specific ink types to prevent smearing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your cards maintain their professional look, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature fading or warping of the paper fibers. When crafting, handle the cards by the edges to prevent skin oils from leaving marks on the pearlescent finish. If using a scoring tool, score the card lightly before folding to achieve a sharp, professional crease. For printing, check your printer specifications to ensure it can handle 210g cardstock and always use the manual feed tray if possible to prevent jamming.
