🎨 Color & Printing Disclaimer
Please note that colors may vary slightly depending on your screen settings, printer, paper type, ink levels, and print quality. Different monitors and printers display colors differently, so the final printed result may not look exactly the same as it appears on your screen.
‼️ Printing tip:
For best results at home, print on heavy cardstock or heavyweight photo paper (for richer, more vibrant color). Be sure to print at 100% scale to achieve the correct 5 x 7 finished size. Use your best quality printer settings for ink and paper type.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a physical card or a digital download?
This is a printable digital card. No physical item will be mailed. After purchase, you’ll receive an instant download file that you can print at home or through your preferred print shop.
What size is the card? Can I frame it?
The finished folded card measures 5x7 inches. It fits neatly into a standard 5x7 photo frame, making it easy to display on a bookshelf, desk, or reading nook after gifting.
What size envelope do I need?
A 5x7 envelope or an A7 envelope will both fit perfectly.
What type of paper should I use?
For best results, print on cardstock rather than regular printer paper. A minimum of 90 lb cardstock is recommended. 110 lb cardstock provides a sturdy, professional feel while still being easy to cut with a standard craft paper cutter.
If cutting with sharp scissors, heavier cardstock can also be used — though 110 lb is more than sufficient.
What printer settings should I use?
Make sure your printer settings are set to “Actual Size” or 100% scale. Avoid selecting “Fit to Page,” as this can slightly resize the card.
Adjust your paper or media type setting to match your cardstock (or choose the closest option available, such as “Heavyweight,” “Cardstock,” or “Premium Paper”).
For the sharpest text and richest color, select “Best” or “High Quality” print settings. Default or “Standard” settings may reduce print clarity and color depth.
What paper size should I print on?
This card is designed for US Letter (8.5x11) cardstock. Simply print, trim, and fold to create a finished 5x7 card.
If printing on A4, slight scaling adjustments may be needed.
What parts of the card are editable?
The front design is not editable. The inside text can be customized using the included Canva template. You can personalize the message with your own words or leave it blank for a handwritten note.
Do I have to pay for Canva?
No. Canva is free to use on desktop or mobile (you’ll just need to create a free account if you don’t already have one).
Standard fonts and free elements are available at no cost. If you choose to use premium fonts or graphics, Canva may charge a small fee (typically around $1 per premium element) when you download your design.
What file format should I download from Canva?
For best printing results, choose “PDF Print.”
If you have Canva Pro, you can select the CMYK color profile for richer color depth. If using a free account, the default RGB profile works perfectly well — especially for text-based designs.
