I only need one copy.

They do it but your need to put the 2 pictures together on something like photoshop first so there kinda like one image and then use it like that cos you can only add one image on moonpig
Other than that its good quality and cheapish and glossy :)

Online Greeting Cards - www.facebook.com My name is Merle Braley. You're about to learn how you can show someone your thinking of them with a ...

Or even just heavy weight paper.

I have several original art pieces that I would like to have made into greeting card sets that I can sell, but all of the papers I've found so far that places online are using is lighter weight card stock (and glossy!). What I'm looking for is somewhere that prints on linen or heavy weight watercolor papers that are left matte.

Unfortunately local printing places are not an option. They don't have this kind of paper either.

You can print on linen fabric or watercolour paper yourself if you have an inkjet printer:

Or you may like to search for an online commercial printer who prints on different mediums, like this one:

I've started my own greeting card company and am having a little trouble figuring out retail and wholesale pricing. I design my own cards. Each card is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Heavy weight glossy. What do you think?

Best thing to do is to visit several card stores and see what cards resemble your style. Its best to chose the ones that label handmade or a bit fancier than the plain flat cards. Then decide from there. Make sure you account for your time and materials. GL

I am order last minute greeting cards from walmart.com and my only option is to get the luster finish. Otherwise I have to pay 15 extra dollars to have them here by tomorrow. Will the luster finish look nice on my greeting cards, and what do you think of the luster finish. Any input would be helpful! THANKS!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Luster is my choice.

I want them to look professional. I bought some inkjet cards from strathford but they are too thin. I would like something heavier and glossy on one side but not sure if something like that exist that is compatible with an inkjet printer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

For a normal ink-jet printer you need heavy weight paper from 110 to 180 gramweight. (anything heavier will clog up the printer).
I usually use 100S-180g. white or off-white cardboard for my greeting cards.
For special cards almost any nice looking paper that catches your eye can be used.
(The cardboard that is glossy on one side is too heavy and usually gets "stuck" in the printer (at least the only one I've found). Not all papers accept the ink jet ink correctly, on some glossy type papers the ink runs, on others it looks "pale".
You can replace the glossy cardboard with a heavyweight photographic paper.. Just make sure it's one with a plain reverse side (some have the brand name printed on the back).
Elephant skin paper (110g.) has a satiny finish and is excellent for cardwork, so are the "marbled" papers...
I often use the pink and blue marbled ones for baby announcements.
I printed my daughters wedding invitations on grey marbled cardboard, and it gave them a very lovely effect. (Most of the marbled papers have matching envelopes).
One that gives good results and looks very elegant is a heavy-weight tracing (vegetable) paper. (the kind architects use).It is a semi-transparent paper, reminds one of parchment. Be careful when folding it, the lesser weight one folds better
I sometimes print my cards on 2 pages...the outer one in cardboard, and the inner page on heavy tracing paper. It looks very smart (also great for wedding menus).
