Materials we use to make our own greeting cards:

Here are the card stock and paper companies I use for my business and recommend:
- Red River offers high quality card stock for artists, illustrators and photographers. My favorites are their River Linen and Polar White Matte card stock: https://www.redrivercatalog.com/cardshop/?a_aid=5fb841d12a2cf
- Unfortunately one of my recommended store for lower quantity card stock is going out of business. My current go-to supplier is (lower cost but you have to commit to higher quantity): https://www.thepapermillstore.com/card-stock/sizes/8-1-2-x-11-card-stock
It took me a couple of years before I started buying card stock in bulk once I committed to a single type of card stock. It's ok to start with small quantity even if the cost per sheet is higher, but do make sure you cards are profitable!

ENVELOPES
- Premium Euro Flap A2 Sized that you can buy individually: https://www.cardsandpockets.com/a2-euro-flap-envelope.aspx?aff=123
- If you can commit to 50 or more envelopes, this is a more economical option, especially when you can combine shipping with your card stock order: http://shrsl.com/2ywjw.
- Most economical option if you just want kraft envelopes: https://amzn.to/2RVJ52x​
