One of my passions has always been printed stationery. Whether it’s bolder and colorful, or monotone and more subdued…I just love writing on designed paper. I used to write all the time when I was a kid, and I would even print my own little stationery, rudimentary as it was. But I enjoyed it. With the onset of technology and my affinity for the computer, I lost some of that and I wanted to get it back. I do always have note cards on hand that I buy from somewhere…but I realized that I needed to start making my own stationery again–whether to print at home for personal notes, or to have professionally printed for more special use.
There are so many sizes to choose from, so I narrowed it down to the ones that make the most sense for me:
- 8.5” x 11” (US Letter) because—notebooks and binders!
- 5” x 7” is good for bigger greeting cards, or as backing for a smaller photo (this is a popular frame size).
- 6” x 4” is great for sets of smaller blank note cards (“thank you,” “thinking of you,” “you’re not great at parking,” etc.)
- 5” x 5” is a cool square card that can be ordered online—but I mostly chose this size because it can *also* be scaled down for 3×3 sticky notes, I love that!

- I also personally really like the US Letter half size (5.5” x 8.5”), but I’m thinking that it may be even more of a personal preference than the other sizes, and it does not translate well to having images printed onto cards via professional printers. (And it’s also not as useful as the full US Letter size.) So I decided to use this size to offer the freebie downloads on my website, which are just recipe cards and lined stationery in this particular size.
As for now, I’m keeping the paid versions on Etsy, and the freebies on my website, so they are separate. They are each kind of their own concept, so I won’t be making every image in both versions. However, if you have a request for one of the freebie images to be incorporated into stationery to be listed on Etsy, send me an Etsy message at my shop and I will work on it. 🙂
