Kathmandu Valley Co. Nepali Cherish Greeting Card & Envelope Box Set, 15 Cards, Handmade Lokta Paper

A Special Tradition - Following a handmade paper-making tradition of over 1,000 years, these Lokta paper all-occasion greeting cards are a special way to send a special message and feature cornflower petals added during the creation of the paper. Sustainable Paper - The paper comes from Lokta bushes which grow in the Himalayan mountains of Nepal. This tree-free bush grows back quickly when cut, making it a sustainable source. The fibrous inner-bark is cooked into a mash and then spread by hand across boxed screens, forming the paper as it dries and hardens in the Himalayan sunshine. A Beautifully Unique Texture - Lokta paper has a unique texture with one side showing the intricate pattern from the screen used to create the paper, and the other side, called the sun-kissed side, shows a more natural and varied texture. Lokta paper has a fabric-like feel making it a special choice for invitations, thank-you notes, or other special greetings. A Great Gift Set - The greeting cards come with matching envelopes which are also hand made with Lokta paper. The cards, envelopes, and gift box feature cornflower petals added in the creation of the paper. Say Thank you in a Special Way - Send that special note of gratitude or use the set as a gift along with the included gift box. The fibrous nature does allow for some feathering and ghosting if writing with pens with heavy ink.
