Cards & Envelopes to Decorate: A Blank Canvas for Every Message
A handmade card carries something a store-bought one rarely does. DeSerres carries a range of blank cards and envelopes designed to be decorated, painted and personalized, alongside ready-to-send options for everyday use. The selection includes watercolour cards suited to wet media, mixed media blanks that accept ink, stamps and collage, and standard cards and envelopes in a variety of sizes and paper weights. Whether you are a calligrapher, a watercolourist or simply someone who prefers to add a personal touch, there is a format here for every approach.
Choosing the Right Card or Envelope Format
Watercolour cards are made from heavier, cold-pressed or hot-pressed paper that can absorb water and pigment without warping, making them ideal for painted greetings and illustrated cards. Mixed media blanks are designed to handle a variety of techniques, including stamping, collage, ink, markers and paint, offering maximum flexibility for layered or experimental work. Standard blank cards provide a clean, smooth surface suited to writing, drawing and light decoration. Envelopes are available in sizes to match common card formats and in a range of colours and finishes, from plain white and kraft to coloured and textured options. Coordinating cards and envelopes as a set ensures a polished, cohesive result for any handmade greeting or invitation.
