Cards they’ll cherish as much as the gift.
We pride ourselves on our insanely high-quality card stock. Forget the flimsy computer paper most companies print their cards on - we print our cards on luxurious and weighty 130lb cardstock with a silk finish that makes graphics pop.
The receiver of your card will be thrilled to hold this satiny paper in their hands.
Most importantly, heavy cardstock means that our cards are DURABLE. They can withstand travel, writing and unwrapping.
Never worry about bending or creasing!
Since all of our cards are based on original artwork and are printed on quality paper, they can be framed after gifting. No more single use cards - the card can be a gift in itself!
Features & Details:
- Blank inside for you to personalize
- All cards are 4.13 inches x 5.82 inches
- Back of card features my logo
- All cards come with a white envelope and are enclosed in a clear sleeve.
Note that actual colors may vary slightly due to differences in screen settings.
Our process:
- All designs are original and illustrated by hand. They are later digitalized on Adobe Illustrator so that they can be reproduce and printed onto cards, stickers - anything you can think of ! Digitalization allows our art to live a life beyond the confines of paper - it also helps us to keep our costs down and provide the world with affordable, original artwork.
- Depending on the image and color content, cards are either printed in our studio, scored and folded by hand, and placed in a cello bag for protection. If the card is not made in our studio, it is sent out to be printed in a local printer. Afterwards, we cello each and every card with love and care, checking for any imperfections along the way.

What people are saying about us :
“I bought five cards from this shop and I'm super pleased. The paper quality is superb and better than most homemade cards!” - Josephine, November 8th, 2017
“These cards are perfect! Well-made, adorable, well-packed ... I am so pleased. Already looking forward to my next order. :)” - Amanda, October 30th, 2017
“…We love The Paper Cicada! If you’ve ever stood in the aisle at a Hallmark store trying to pick the least shitty card, then check out TPC. Prior to finding Gabriella’s art this past fall, our household was mainly Papyrus shoppers. The cards are nice enough, but expensive and many times the inside sentiment isn’t quite right. With TPCs cards, you have a blank slate to say what you want, but you have this great, funny front to open the door for you…As for the quality, don’t hesitate - the card stock is hefty, the print quality is really excellent, and any recipient will say ‘WHERE did you get this?’. This will not be an Etsy purchase that you regret.” - Rich, November 28th, 2017
