Here is a few suggestions of our favorite, easy shades to use: It is hard to believe how many shades of white are available in paper and one doesn’t realize how confusing until trying to match white paper and envelopes that may be from different brands, etc. To even make the whole process easier, if you choose white as your core base, then simply get a batch of card stock and envelopes that are the same finish and same white. Using your neutral envelope base will allow you to bring together any color by using different ink. Ideally they would be bright white or off-white with a quality of thicker text paper, linen, cotton or shimmers. To always be ready, we suggest having a simple, nice quality batch of envelopes at home in either one or both of these sizes.

Using these two guides, we recommend both A2 -and- A9 as easiest size for “do it yourself” cards. This idea can be altered for hand drawn, stamped or painted cards – what fun it would be to let a child use finger paints to create a unique and beautiful work of art that becomes a perfect greeting card.įor our customers in the United States, we recommend 2 easy sizes – When you take a standard Letter size paper and fold it in-half, you have created an A9 insert ( we will create a tutorial later for this size) – when you fold it 4 ways, you have created an A2 insert. This is not recommended for volume printing, but certainly for that last minute card or when you want to create something that has your personal touch – this could be your answer. Since many people can print very nice quality from their home printers – it may be the best solution in a pinch. Sometime you may find the need to print a last minute greeting card.
