Print it at home
Every card comes as a print-ready PDF: a full 8.5" x 11" sheet with the card art on the right half. Print it, fold it once, and it's a real 5.5" x 8.5" greeting card - no trimming, no cutting. This guide is for anyone holding a finished card, whether you made a sample here or your customers will print theirs from your branded page. The same PDF also works behind a shop counter: print, fold, sell.
Print at home
You'll need cardstock paper - regular printer paper is too flimsy for a card. Any home printer that handles 8.5 x 11 paper works.
- - Paper size: 8.5" x 11" (standard US letter)
- - Weight: 65 lb or 80 lb cardstock
- - Print landscape at 100% / "Actual size" - the art lands on the right half of the sheet
- - Fold in half with the art facing out - the blank half goes back behind the art, so the art is your front cover and the crease sits on the left
- - The inside is blank on purpose - that's where your handwritten message goes
Print at a store
Bring the image or PDF on your phone or a USB drive. A few places that can help:
- - Staples / FedEx Office: full copy and print shops, ask for cardstock
- - CVS / Walgreens: photo counters print cards on cardstock in smaller sizes like 5"x7" - call ahead to see what they can do with your file
Order a print
- - Canva Print: upload the image, order it as a folded card shipped to you
Rather skip the paper?
Every card can also be shared digitally - send the image by text, email it, or share it straight from the site. The print is just the part we love most.
