Darice A2 Kraft Paper Blank Cards and Envelopes (50 Sets) – Perfect for DIY Invitations, Cards, Notes and More – Ready to Decorate or Run Through Printer – Card 4.25”x5.5”, Envelope 4.37”x5.75”

I was having trouble finding some elegant baby shower invitations for my sisters' shower. I came across these blank, recycled cards and my imagination went wild!!! First, I thought that I would print directly on the invitation. However, when I received the invitations, I liked them way too much and thinking about the possibility of messing them up gave me anxiety. What I did is made my design and printed it on regular paper. That way if I messed something up - nothing was lost. Once the design was done, I printed four on a letter size ''resume'' paper (fancier than plain white) and cut the page in fours. The pieces fit perfectly on these cards. I used glue dots to secure them Then I purchased gold glitter scrapbook paper and cut them into one-inch strips, wrapped them around the invitations & glued them. They turned out so nice - just like you would order from an expensive boutique. These blank recycled, paper cards were of Great quality. The possibilities of what you can use these for are endless. I have leftovers that I am still using for any miscellaneous occasion & decorate them accordingly. Let me tell you that I am NOT an avid crafter...but these made me feel very crafty & creative with their simplicity. Easy to print & glue on. thick & durable. Very nice, high end look...even if just using a Sharpie to decorate.

These are great cards. I custom designed rubber stamps (ordered online) to turn these into wedding thank you cards. Cheap, easy, and matched our invitation suite. The cards come flat but have been scored so that they're easy to fold. Great quality!

These cards and envelopes are perfect for making your own cards. The cards are well made (cut neatly and they fold where they are supposed to fold!). Because of the "Kraft color", they lend themselves to rubber stamps and collage with a much more natural look than white cards give you. The price was also good.

I use these for cards for hospice patients who cannot see their families during the pandemic, and I love how I can use Sharpies without bleeding, do rubber stamps without smudging, and ink drawings without either! I've bought three or four of these packs now and will continue to do so.

There is a slight color variation on the cards from outside to inside but not noticeable to most people. I'm kind of picky and a little OCD so of course I noticed! I make hand printed cards and the card took the ink well without bleeding or smudging. The weight of the paper is nice for a card and I loved that they came flat instead of folded. But the cards are already scored so they folded easily and cleanly.

I am having a vintage wedding and I bought these cards to use for invitations to my bridal shower. They have a vintage look without having to tea-dye them, they fit through a basic printer easily, and I have gotten wonderful compliments on the looks of the completed invitations. I'm very happy I bought these.Updated, Feb. 14, 2015:Since I have written the above review, I'm afraid that Darice has changed their product. The cards I had originally bought are the same kind that are in the picture. The old version (4x5 inch dimension) was thick enough I could cut them in half to create my RSVP cards and send them out as postcards. However, I just ordered another 2 sets and it was sent in new packaging. The new version (labeled now as A2 Kraft Paper, dimensions 4.25x5.5 inches) is a thinner card that is comparable to an 80 lb. paper. The color is about 3 shades lighter brown and the texture is much smoother than the original. These will still be great for our thank you cards, just does not look as vintage.

My wife is a huge fan of DYI greeting cards. She bought this and fall in love. Any color looks very nice on the matt finish paper. Also, the semi-rough base of the paper makes perfect canvas for drawing and coloring. Highly recommended, worth spending money.

Great all purpose cards with good weight. My kids have gotten into calligraphy and I've always encouraged them since they were little to make their own thank you or birthday cards. Now that they're older, instead of folded printer paper we've moved up to blank cards. These are what you'd expect them to be and serve our purpose well. No bleeding.

I LOVE these envelopes - I really like the kraft colours, and overall the envelopes are very thick. The envelopes also come with prefolded cards, so it's a really good value at its price.

Loved these blank recycled paper cards. Perfect for homemade Christmas card making. Thick and not flimsy. No complaints

Oops, I just wanted envelopes but this comes with this the same amount of printable cards that would be great if I could figure out how to use my laser printer to print on them. The product is good quality.

Durable cards from recyclable products. They work great if you want to put recyclable cardstock over too and create your own cards. The envelopes close nicely!

Good value and quality. Not the colour I was hoping for. If you are looking for true craft paper or “parcel@ Brown, this is a little bit darker. Good enough for my purposes.
