FAQs

What is the exact size of the cards?

The cards measure 10.5 x 15 cm when folded.

Does the set include envelopes?

Yes, each pack includes 6 matching ivory envelopes to accompany the 6 cards.

Are these cards suitable for printing in an inkjet printer?

While the surface is optimized for manual writing and crafting, you may be able to feed them through some printers; however, it is recommended to test one card first as the thickness may vary compared to standard printer paper.

Can I use watercolor on these cards?

The cardstock is sturdy, but it is not specifically treated as watercolor paper. Use only a light wash with minimal water to prevent buckling.

What color are the cards?

The cards are a classic, professional ivory color.

Are these acid-free?

The quality of the cardstock is high and suitable for archival-style projects, though always store finished cards away from direct sunlight to preserve colors.

Troubleshooting

Ink smudging after application

Ensure your ink is archival-grade and give it extra drying time before closing the card or placing it in the envelope.

Card surface seems to absorb too much ink

Avoid using high-flow fountain pen inks; opt for pigment-based markers or pens that are designed for uncoated cardstock.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results with your Creativ Card & Envelope Blanks, keep these guidelines in mind:

Storage: Keep the unused blanks in their original packaging in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture from warping the paper or yellowing the edges.
Ink Testing: Before applying permanent markers or elaborate calligraphy, test your pen on a small, hidden corner of the card to ensure the desired saturation level.
Folding: While these cards come pre-folded or ready to fold, use a bone folder or the back of a butter knife to score the spine for a perfectly crisp, professional-grade crease.
Compatibility: These cards are compatible with most standard water-based markers, pigment inks, and archival-quality pens.
