What envelopes can a Card invitation come in?
By Nimanto 2 min read
In short
A card arrives sealed in an envelope addressed to the guest, and one tap opens it. Six paper envelopes and six luxury envelopes each open in their own way. Choose one under Style in the card studio, then its paper, lining and wax seal; luxury envelopes keep their own.
The envelope is the first thing a guest sees: sealed, addressed "For their name", with a stamp and postmark drawn from the card's own painting. A tap anywhere on it starts the opening.
The twelve styles
Paper envelopes
- Wax Seal Envelope: the seal cracks, the flap lifts on its lining, the card rises.
- Airmail Letter: a striped border and a tear strip along the top.
- Glassine Sleeve: frosted see-through paper and a string wound between two buttons.
- Tear-open Wrap: a printed wrap that tears apart down the middle.
- Tissue Layers: a keepsake box, the card under sheets of tissue that fold back.
- Tuck-in Envelope: handmade paper with a flap tucked into a slot.
Luxury envelopes
- Velvet: deep crushed velvet with a gold wax seal.
- Velvet-lined: smooth paper with a velvet lining and a copper seal.
- Laser-cut Lace: filigree over white vellum.
- Pressed Botanical: handmade cotton paper with a dried sprig and a pearl seal.
- Foil Crest: velvet with a gold foil crest round the hosts' initial.
- Gilded: a gold-edged flap and border over the design's lining.
Each is one object from the first look to the end: its own opening, the same envelope resting open behind the card, and Put it back, which plays the opening backwards. Every opening finishes within a few seconds, and on a computer the sealed envelope leans toward the pointer.
Choose yours
- 1Open the card studio and choose Style, then Envelope.
- 2Tap a style. The stage shows it sealed with a sample guest's name; Watch it open plays the opening.
- 3Choose Paper (only on the Wax Seal Envelope and the Tuck-in Envelope): This card's own painted paper, or the painted paper of any published card.
- 4Choose Lining: the design's own, Gold stripe, Polka, Foil, or a painted lining from the library. The stage shows the lining close up.
- 5Choose Wax seal: the design's own, Terracotta, Burgundy, Gold, Forest or Ink.
A luxury envelope comes with its own lining and seal, so those choices are not offered on it.
Why it does not match the catalogue tile
The tile's envelope is plain cream on every card so the painting stands out. Guests get the style you chose.
