How do I change a card's style, layout and background?
By Nimanto 2 min read
In short
Open the card studio and choose Style. It lists Envelope, Paper, Lining, Wax seal, Page background and Design. Tap one to choose from its options; the stage shows the envelope sealed, the lining close up or the card open in the layout as you pick.
Every card arrives in its design's own style: its envelope, lining, seal, page background and layout. The Style tool lets you change any of them.
The Style menu
- 1Open the card studio and choose Style.
- 2Tap one of the cards in the menu: Envelope, Paper, Lining, Wax seal, Page background or Design.
- 3Pick an option. The stage changes with each tap.
- 4Choose Back to all style options or All style options to return to the menu.
Envelope, Paper, Lining and Wax seal are described under Card envelopes.
Page background
The page your card lies on when guests open it. Choose The design's, the card's own painted wash, or one of the surfaces painted for Nimanto: textures such as linen, marble and kraft paper; nature such as pressed petals and eucalyptus; celebration such as confetti and fairy lights; holidays such as Diwali lamps, Christmas and Eid lanterns; occasions such as baby booties or caps and diplomas; and dark grounds such as starry midnight and emerald velvet. Filter pills narrow them: Painted, For this event, All and the groups. The Painted group holds the backgrounds and envelope papers of every published card, each named after its card. On a dark background the page's small lines turn light by themselves.
Design: the open layout
Where things sit once the card is open:
- Flat lay: the card in the middle on its open envelope, the details either side.
- Bento: a grid of detail cards, the reply across the top.
- Stacked cards: the details in one column.
- Frosted glass: the details on panes of frosted glass over the page background.
On a phone every layout puts the card full width first, then the details below it. A part the invitation does not have is left out.
What it costs
A free card comes in its design's own style, layout and cover. Changing any of them, or giving the envelope another card's painted paper, lining or background, is one flat add-on, paid once when you send the card, however many you change. Use the design's own puts everything back and the charge away. A premium card, a plan that includes cards, or an invitation already upgraded pays nothing more. Plain papers, seals and linings are always free. See Card prices.
