Linen Paper:

#2.
Black Linen paper has a slightly textured
surface -- it has a "woven"
finish that looks like linen. Black seems
to get more and more popular every year!
This sample is shown with a new design,
# GAF09, although any of the 13
designs shown below may be
used for the front of the announcement.
If you choose this paper, the outer and
inner envelopes will be bright white, and
either silver or gold ink may be used for
the printing. (Silver and gold ink are flat,
not raised, on black paper.) Foil envelope
seals are the perfect accent for the black
card and white envelope! Use the link
below to view the suggested ensemble and
to see other designs on this paper.
(Offered
only with flat silver or flat gold ink)

Bright White Paper
with Silver Deckled Edge:
choose
any design
for the front.
|
#3.
The Silver Deckle-Edged paper is
a fresh, bright white vellum with
the silver deckle along the bottom edge
of the card (or the right edge when used
with one of the vertical designs). This
silver and white card was one of the most
popular of all the Classic announcements
last year. The
inner and outer envelopes both have the
same silver edging along the square back
flap. This design, GF09, is shown
here in black ink, but is also very nice
in bordeaux, hunter, navy,or the pastel
colors like sage or lilac. For a sparkling
silver effect, try raised silver ink on
this paper! Start with the button
below to order this silver-edged paper with
any of the designs shown
below.

Ecru
Vellum Paper

#5.
The rich, warm undertone of the
Ecru Vellum paper is perfect with
the "Berry" ink as shown here.
The ecru is not as "yellow"
as an ivory paper, but is a rich, off-white
color that shows off the deeper ink colors
nicely. Also popular
with bordeaux, hunter, navy,
and violet ink.
Shown here with GJ09, but you may choose
any of the 13
Classic Designs pictured at
the bottom of this page.
The
ecru vellum card comes with matching ecru
inner and outer envelopes.

with Deckled Edge
choose
any design
for the front.
|
#6. The
Grey Parchment announcement and matching
envelopes both have a deckle edge. This simple
"Seniors" design has been one of
our most popular over the past few years,
and is shown here with violet ink. Silver
envelope seals will dress it up no matter
what ink color you choose! This grey parchment
is one of the few papers that are available
with a lined inner envelope.The liner is offered
in bordeaux and matches the bordeaux ink.

shown at the bottom of the page,
and the ink color of your choice.

any design
for the front.

#7.
This popular
Antique Parchment paper features
a deckle edge and matching, deckle-edged envelopes.
Shown here with design GQ09 in Claret ink,
though any
of the 13 Classic
Designs pictured at the bottom
of this page may be used. Bordeaux,
berry, navy, and raised gold ink are also
very popular on this paper. A lovely matte
gold liner is available for the parchment
inner envelopes, which is a nice touch with
any ink color, but especially when the card

Recycled
Grey Paper
choose
any design
for the front.
|
#8
"Recycled Grey" is a very
soft-looking, sophisticated paper,
a flecked grey stock with a hint of blue,
which shows off black or blue inks nicely.
The double envelopes are made of matching
paper. If you want to
use black ink to hold down the cost of your
order, the recycled paper is a nice choice
because the paper adds texture and interest.
We recommend silver accents with this
paper. The ink color you select is used for
the inside text as well as the design on the
outside. This is shown with "cobalt"
ink and design GR09. Use
this paper with any of the
13 Classic Designs
pictured at the bottom of this page.

Soft White Vellum
with Deckled Edge
choose
any design
for the front.
|
| #9 This
soft white vellum paper, with its deckled
edge, adds a touch of elegance to any design
you choose. Not a bright white like #1, 3
and 4, but not as dark as ecru, this is more
of a "cream" color. Great
with darker inks, especially claret, bordeaux,
violet, and the hunter green shown here. Raised
gold ink is also a very nice choice on this
paper. Select from any of 13
Classic Designs
below! The soft white paper is shown here
with design GH09, which has a "seniors"
crest. Comes with matching inner and outer
soft white envelopes, which also have the
deckled edge. |

Classic
Shimmer Section
The
four Classic designs in the section below are
slightly different from those above.
|
|
-
These are not French-folded
cards like those above. The Classic designs
below (10 - 13) are printed on an un-folded
piece of very heavy card stock which has an
iridescent finish and rounded corners. The
back is blank; printing is done in thermography
(raised ink) on the front only.
-
The designs for these four
cards are limited and are slightly different
from those shown below for Classic designs
1 through 19. Instead of 13 designs, there
are only 6. View
them at the bottom of the page.
-
The designs are printed in
the location as shown on the card; several
have room for either a mascot or a senior
photo seal, which complement the design. The
Senior Photo stickers are sold on this
page. They are
$21.90 for the first 20 and $8.00 for each
additional sheet of 20.
-
Because the design and text
share the front of the card, the number of
lines of text is limited to either 10 or 12
lines, depending on the design chosen. The
information about each design gives specific
instructions about the number of lines offered.
- All of these Classic Shimmer
cards come with white inner and outer envelopes.
The inner envelopes are offered with an optional
liner in black, gold, and silver. The envelope
liners add $5.00 per package of 25. They are
offered on the order forms.

Hydrangea Shimmer
Card
choose
one of five designs
for the front.
|
#10 Hydrangea
Shimmer
This is a lovely color for
a female graduate, and perfect with black
ink. The color is a "purplish" pink,
close to a lilac shade. The ink color must
be a dark color to show up on this paper;
we recommend black; our order form also offers
navy and violet. Choose from the six
designs offered for the "Shimmer
Collection," below. The "seniors"
design shown here, GAP09, does not have a
year on it. It is designed to be used with
a photo sticker, sold separately. This design,
used with the photo
sticker, can effectively be used
by groups holding a graduation -- the sticker
takes the place of the name card to personalize
an announcement that is the same for everyone
in the group! |

#11
Golden Shimmer
The color of this card
is a shimmery, golden taupe, shown with
the Mocha ink. Black ink also works well.
Shown with design GAK09, but you may choose
from any of the 6
designs shown below
. If this design is chosen, there
is room above it for a photo sticker or
mascot, and room below it for 10 lines of
text. Price includes inner and outer white
envelopes, and the gold lined inner envelope
is a nice addition!. If you choose to print
your return address on the outer envelopes,
the design shown here may be included on
the envelope for free, and it is also offered
on our printed napkins! |

Scarlet Shimmer Card
choose
one of five designs
for the front.
|
#12 Scarlet
Shimmer
The color of this card is
difficult to describe, but it is beautiful!
Not a bright, "fire engine" red,
this is more like a deep cherry color. The
raised black ink offers the best contrast.
Select one of the
6 designs shown below.
The design shown here, GAN09, does
not have room for a photo sticker or mascot,
but for a coordinating look, the same design
is offered for your outer envelopes. If you
choose to print the return address on the
back flap of the white outer envelope, this
design may be printed above the address at
no additional charge. |

Shimmer
"Iridescent
Silver-grey" would be another way
to describe this card. Choose any of
the six
designs
shown in the "Shimmer design
collection" below. This is shown
with navy ink and design GAL09. If this
design is chosen, it may be printed
in the location shown, with room for
either a mascot or a photo
sticker above it and ten
lines of text below it, or it may be
moved to the top of the card so there
is room for 12 lines of text below it.
Sold with outer and inner white envelopes.
The inner envelopes may be lined with
silver, which matches the color of this
card. |

**Note
about the designs with double asterisks: These designs
have "screened" areas,
which means that the ink color you choose will be a
lighter shade on some parts of the design, giving the
appearance of two ink colors. This effect is very nice,
but keep in mind that if you choose one of these designs
with red or claret ink, the screened area
will appear to be a shade of pink. |
