Cards

What are cards?

Cards are a strong and versatile base material used for greeting cards, invitations, and many other creative projects. They are sturdier than regular paper, which makes them ideal for decorating with layers, embellishments, and techniques such as stamping, embossing, or die cutting. With the right card, your handmade design immediately feels professional and ready for any occasion.

Different types of cards

At Vaessen Creative, cards are part of the paper & cardboard collection. You can choose from many different varieties, each with its own purpose. A6 cards are the most popular size for standard greeting cards and invitations. Square cards offer a modern, balanced look and are perfect for bold or graphic designs. Double cards can be folded, giving you extra space for messages or layered designs. Kraft cards add a natural, rustic feel that is perfect for seasonal or eco-inspired projects. Finally, cardboard cards are strong and sturdy, making them a reliable base for heavier embellishments or mixed media projects.

Creative hobbies & projects with cards

Cards are central to many creative hobbies. In wedding crafting, they are used to make elegant invitations, menus, or thank-you notes. In Halloween crafting, square or kraft cards can be transformed into spooky designs with stamps, die cuts, or glitter. Another inspiring use is in spring crafting, where pastel-coloured cards can be decorated with flowers, butterflies, or light watercolour effects. With so many variations, cards can be adapted to suit any occasion or season.

Why choose cards for your projects?

The main advantage of cards is their sturdiness combined with flexibility. They can hold up to layers, embellishments, and different crafting techniques while still being easy to fold and decorate. With so many types, sizes, and finishes available, cards give you the freedom to design something simple and minimalistic or bold and detailed.
