The semi-opaque material we know as vellum - translucent paper for crafts, invitations and other functions - was, centuries ago, originally made from calfskin or pigskin. Craftsmen processed the skins by soaking them and treating them with lime, removing fur and stretching the skins onto a frame for drying to create the parchment-like material.
The version we use today is as beautiful and functional as it was then. However, because it is now made from cotton, the streamlined process means that, once you adjust for inflation, modern inkjet paper vellum is far less expensive and much easier to come by.
CutCardStock.com carries varieties of inkjet paper vellum and Stardream metallic paper that is perfect for creating beautiful "save-the-dates" and other printed greetings.
Why not buy in bulk at a discounted price, or stock up on cardstocks, papers and other materials that are already clearance priced? If you are the creative sort, or have even a basic mastery of computer graphics, you can very quickly create blank invitations, letters and crafts with colorful and high quality papers - such as vellum translucent paper for crafts, invitations and more - that you have in your own personal supply. That way, the next time a birthday, anniversary, wedding or shower rolls around, you won't have to rush off to the store to pick through the meager offerings on the card rack, or special-order expensive cards.
You can use a favorite example from cards you have given or received in the past as a model to create a custom card for any occasion. With a little help from CutCardStock.com, you will never be without greetings for anything.
