ADDITIONAL TIPS
Don’t be afraid to write down your message on spare paper before writing inside your card.
When possible, use your own handwriting.
If you mess up, cut some paper and glue it over the top. No one will ever know.
Use a fast-drying pen, or be sure to allow for extra drying time before closing the card (looking at you, white gel pen!)
For cards made with dark cardstock as the card base, use a white gel pen to write your message. Or cut a slightly small piece of white paper (computer printer paper will do) and adhere it to the inside of the card. Then you can use whatever pen you have on hand.
Additionally, enhance your heartfelt messages with Paper Ground 3D greeting cards. These cards offer a unique and stunning visual experience, adding an extra dimension to your thoughtful messages. Welcome to explore our selection and make your greetings truly memorable!
