Product Information

Full details

Designed for DIY enthusiasts, crafters, and professional stationery creators, these Creativ Company Pearlescent Finish Card & Envelope Blanks provide a sophisticated, shimmering base for bespoke invitations and greeting cards. The key benefit is the premium aesthetic finish that elevates handmade projects, though users should note that the pearlescent coating requires specific ink types to prevent smudging or long drying times compared to standard matte cardstock.

FAQs

Can I run these cards through an inkjet printer?

While the cardstock is high quality, the pearlescent finish is not specifically coated for inkjet printing. Testing is required, and be aware that ink may smear.

Are these cards acid-free?

Yes, the cardstock is acid and lignin-free, making it safe for scrapbooking and long-term storage.

What kind of glue works best for these cards?

We recommend using double-sided craft tape or dry adhesive runners, as liquid glues can warp the cardstock and struggle to bond with the shimmer finish.

Are the envelopes also pearlescent?

Yes, each set includes matching envelopes to ensure a coordinated and elegant presentation.

Can I use watercolor on these cards?

The pearlescent coating is designed for pens and stamps; heavy water application may damage the shimmer finish or cause the card to warp.

Troubleshooting

Ink is smearing on the card surface

The pearlescent coating is non-porous; allow extra drying time or use permanent, quick-dry archival inks.

Adhesive is not sticking well

The shimmering finish can be slippery; ensure the surface is clean and use high-tack archival tape runners instead of liquid glues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results with your Creativ Company card blanks, store them in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the pearlescent finish. When working on your designs, use a craft mat to prevent oils from your hands from transferring to the paper surface, which can sometimes affect ink adhesion. Avoid using heavy water-based glues that may cause the cardstock to buckle; instead, opt for double-sided tape or acid-free glue sticks. If using these in a printer, perform a test print first, as some laser or inkjet machines may struggle with the specialized coating or card thickness.
