Holiday and Thank-You Cards You Print and Fold at Home
A handwritten card still stands out in the mail, and printing your own makes it easy to keep a few on hand. This guide covers how fold-and-send cards work, what the holiday and thank-you card packs include, and how to print and fold them at home on a regular printer.
How a print-and-fold card works
Each card is a quarter-fold card. You print the page, fold it in half and then in half again, write your message in the left inside panel and sign it. Every card has a printed message inside and a blank panel for your own words, so you can send it as it is or add a personal note.
The holiday cards
The Holiday Card Pack Printable has 12 foldable seasonal cards. The wording suits many celebrations: happy holidays, season’s greetings, warm winter wishes, new year, thankful and more. It also includes an envelope template and a page of message ideas.
The thank-you and all-occasion cards
The Thank You and All-Occasion Card Pack Printable has 12 cards for the notes people mean to send: 5 thank you designs, congratulations, graduate, thinking of you, welcome little one, anniversary, good luck and just because. It also comes with an envelope template and a page of message ideas.
Printing and folding at home
- Download the file and print at 100% on paper or card stock.
- Fold the page in half, then in half again.
- Write your message in the left inside panel and sign it.
The US Letter cards fold to 4.25 x 5.5 in, and the A4 cards fold to A6. The designs are patterns and typography only, so they print cleanly in color on a home printer. Card stock gives a sturdier card, but the files work on regular paper too.
Use the message ideas
If you are not sure what to write, the page of message ideas gives you a starting point. A short, specific line, such as what you appreciated, is usually enough to fill the panel.
