Card Stock Choices For Greeting Cards

I would really like to have paper/card stock "choices" for greeting cards. I am not happy with the shiny card stock that is heavy in weight, glossy and creases easily. I request that FAA would have some paper choices, i.e., some textural/matte paper choices. I do a lot of textural/painterly work that would look their best on selective card stock.

I agree. There are many images that are just not suited for the high gloss coated stock.

I hope Abbie and Sean will see this thread.

I agree as well, I prefer my images to be printed on a matte finish card. Maybe with all of the new products and recent changes, they will consider this request. :)

I sure hope so!!! I would NEVER select this shiny glossy paper stock for my greeting cards... I think it should be a "choice" as is frames/mats, etc.

I put the request for other paper options for cards in the weekly suggestion thread a few weeks or more ago. I recommend being sure to also put this suggestion there since those definitely get seen by Sean.

I've already made the suggestion so I hate to put it in again (and can't this week anyway since it's one per person) but I wholeheartedly agree. I'm not a fan of the gloss period. And it looks so lonely in the shop menu on the AW with only one option under greeting cards. ;-)

Maybe if he hears more people asking...
