Fabriano – Medioevalis Blank Cards & Envelopes – Folded Card & Envelope 170 x 230 mm Pack 20

Give your artwork space on the front and your message space inside. This Fabriano Medioevalis pack contains larger folded cards and matching envelopes for personal greetings, invitations and small editions of artist cards. The ivory surface and deckle edges suit both a simple stamped motif and a more detailed illustration.

Made in Italy using a cylinder mould process, the 260 gsm acid-free card has a gentle texture. Use the blank front to frame your design and keep the inside for a handwritten note, event details or a dedication.

Size and pack contents

• Cards: 20 folded blank cards, 260 gsm.
• Open size: 170 × 230 mm.
• Finished folded size: 115 × 170 mm.
• Envelopes: 20 matching unlined envelopes, 120 × 180 mm, 120 gsm.

The product-name measurements describe the open card. Your front design needs to fit the 115 × 170 mm panel, with a margin around the printed area.

Projects to try

• Birthday and Christmas cards: print a botanical design, an animal or a seasonal scene on the front.
• Illustrated invitations: add a drawing or watercolour detail outside and write the practical information inside.
• Artist card editions: repeat a favourite linocut motif across the pack, then sign each card for a personal finish.

Getting a good result

Make a paper template of the front panel before carving a new block or arranging several stamps. Keep the fold and the natural edges clear when planning borders or lettering. For printed or painted fronts, protect the inside with clean scrap paper. Try one card with your chosen ink and pressure before working through the pack, and allow every layer to dry before adding colour or writing.

For the same finished size without a fold, see the 115 × 170 mm single cards and envelopes.
