Generally photos look best on photo paper. We like the glossy photo cardstock and buy Office Depot brand in the 100 piece box when they have it on sale. Only drawback is that you can't print on the back (matte finish) side - the ink never dries! :( So for greeting cards I use a seperate piece of paper with the inside message printed on it and glue it inside. You can also get prescored cardstock in glossy and matte finish for cards. What I used had a "peel and stick" strip for attaching the message sheet. Brochure paper might be another option for greeting cards. Heavier than regular paper and can be printed both sides, it comes in glossy and matte finish. Your printer and its settings will determine the outcome so you will need to experiment with different papers and settings to see which work best on your printer. Jill

Very cute,Thanks for the card. This gave me a good idea. My co-worker ,who loves gardening, is off recuperating from surgery. This would be a cute Thinking of You card.

I used to buy the Edward Gorey cards at bookstores in NYC and then one day I discovered them at Barnes and Noble. I looked in my local B&N and didn't see any. Oh my - I just checked on Amazon. I should sell mine instead of sending them. Amazon has a box of 20 cards for $55.00. eBay has 4 cards for $10.00. Here is a link that might be useful: goggle images of Gorey cards

I would look at a thrift store for a frame from the era....and buy a piece of acid free mat board and attach your card with stamp hinges. It really has no monetary value...or not much. But can have sentimental value to you. any glass is fine....but if you want to keep it from fading, don't put it facing a window.
