New Card Stock


It was time to reorder my card blanks, but I found that the stock was discontinued. I also found that the days of unlimited selection are gone when it comes to paper stocks.

I was able to secure some new paper stock that may even be more appealing to me - not just because of its interesting color, but also because of its eco-appeal.

This time it's more of a sage-gray color and it is made entirely of recycled paper. I went with a nice heavy weight and a felt finish so the cards feel great in your hands. Matching envelopes were ordered of course and it all makes a great package.

Some people have tried to get me to use plain white or cream, but you can get that anywhere. Here you get a card stock chosen with an artist's eye for color. The sagey-gray tone makes the pictures look as if they are matted and ready for framing - and many people have told me that they are intending to do just that!
