Set of ten creme colored cards and envelopes placed inside a beautifully crafted brightly colored treeless paper case with bamboo closure. The stationery is handmade treeless paper. The envelopes are 7 1/2" x 5 1/2". They are fairly traded.

REMEMBER to specify the case color of your choice, in the drop down list to the left.

The handcrafted cases come in fuchsia, royal blue, navy blue and wine.

These cards are meant to be hand delivered and not go through the mail. The envelopes do not contain a sealant. The cards would lend themselves to be home made greeting cards or stationery, of course.

From Distant Village Packaging about the Philippine Artisans who make the paper:

"We gather abaca fibers, cogon grass from the hills, dried leaves and flowers from the meadows. We use only natural materials in our handmade paper. We don’t use tree pulp in the paper-making process. This is how we help to preserve the environment. Our handmade paper is a unique tree-less paper. We cut the natural fibers, mix, scoop the mixture with mould and deckle, and sun dry each paper by hand.

Every single handmade paper has its own simple beauty. Young men and women who otherwise would be jobless and housewives who are the breadwinners are trained and developed to make the paper. We believe that you will appreciate and enjoy the exceptional quality of these paper products.

We dedicate our creative work to people with fine taste and kind hearts. For every purchase of these handcrafted items, a child is sent to school or a family is able to have food on the table."
