As I set about making this season's holiday cards, I found myself getting a bit turned around by all the options. So I made a little reference chart. Here it is. Hope it helps anybody getting lost in all the options.

Types of foil cards

  • Foil holiday card, 5x7, flat, combines foil with other elements, foil is only on the front, found under Greeting Cards in blanks

 

  • Foil invitation=foil holiday card except it is found under Invitations in blanks

 

  • Standard foil card, 5x7, has an inside, foil (no other elements) on both front and back, i.e. simple foil card. Inside can be anything including photo and background color. Found under Greeting Cards in blanks

 

  • Foil holiday postcard, 4.25" x 5.6" i.e. smaller than other foil cards. Found under Postcards in blanks.

Thank you, this is really helpful! I've often been frustrated trying to find the type of card I want, even the regular non-foil cards. I really wish there was a drop-down that had something like: Color only, Foil with color & Foil only, and sub-menus similar to: greeting cards, flat cards, invitations, postcards, etc. It's so hard to find things now. One night I spent probably 15 minutes trying to find a regular greeting card with foil and color on front and then finally remembered we don't have them yet (wish we did, especially before Christmas). Thanks again!   

I'm glad it helped. 😎 There are so many types of cards that it can be a real needle in a haystack hunt trying to find the exact card you want.
