Description

This card is matte, 270gsm and features a natural, lightly textured finish, which makes it feel lovely and thick in your hands compared to other cards of the same weight.

Bordeaux is a dark red, burgundy wine colour and is available in card, paper and envelopes in a range of different sizes to suit the needs of your project. If you’re looking for a lighter, brighter red, we can suggest Ruby (fire engine red) or Chilli Red (light red).

5 x 7 Card fits comfortably into our 5 x 7 envelopes when folded or cut in half. However, the size doesn’t measure exactly 5 x 7 inches, it’s a touch smaller so that if you’re posting via Australia Post, it can be sent as a standard size letter (saving half the postage cost for the sake of a few millimetres).

The wide range of vibrant colours in the Kaleidoscope range is sure to inspire your creativity and spark plenty of new ideas for cards, scrapbooking, invitations, menus and more. As an added bonus, the Kaleidoscope range is made from 100% recycled fibres and delivered to us with much less packaging than other brands. The card and paper are compatible with both laser and inkjet printers and suitable for embossing, foiling, varnishing, laminating and many other treatments, but we always advise testing first.

Diamond ‘Happy Birthday’ card designed by Linda Shrimpton, using Kaleidoscope Bordeaux and Champagne.

Notes from our team

Kaleidoscope is my favourite of all the ranges we stock. It holds a particular place in my heart because we spent more than a year searching for the perfect range of coloured card and paper at the right price. Our shelves were bending under the weight of samples that we received from mills all over the world and I think in the end we chose well because the colours are fabulous, the light texture gives it an edge over smooth card, making it a little special and it’s surprisingly affordable. If you ask me for a paper recommendation, 9 times out of 10 I’m going to have Kaleidoscope on the shortlist because it’s perfect for everything from wedding invitations to craft projects. – Serena
