I only buy cards from Papyrus because they’re beautiful and so well constructed. Worth the few dollars more. And the envelopes are thick paper with a pretty matching/coordinating lining. This bouquet card does not disappoint- very colorful with glitter and gem decorations that sparkle and shine and with real ribbon around the front. It just surprised me that it doesn’t open up like a typical card. I thought the front would lift up but it only goes so far. So if you’re planning on writing a lot inside the card you may want to choose another one. I love it though and still using it.
