These 5" X 7" cards are just stunning! Everyone who has seen them ooohs and ahhhs over them. They are very expensive-looking. The laser cut snowflake is so delicate and has some tasteful silver highlights. One of my main reasons for purchasing these cards was because they have no message on them.. They can be used year round for a variety of purposes. If you can catch them on sale using a promo code, they are relatively affordable. The silver cord at the top is a nice touch. The only downside is that you have to assemble the cards yourself, which would be time-consuming if you purchased a large quantity. I purchased only 25 so it was just a minor inconvenience. The actual color is darker than the photo ..it's a very dark navy. The inside paper and envelope are a light ivory. The navy lining of the envelopes extends beyond the flap about a half inch, again adding a nice touch. Highly recommended.
