I used colored paper for my home use. I print out my cards on card stock and sent in the mail to friends or give them to special people. I get lots of complaints on the cards and how lovely they look. They like to what is printed on them.. I have a card making software on my computer. they are many different designs I can print out. I also type out a verse and put it inside the card that I make. It is fun to get different verses that will help you put them in words and than print them out on the colored paper.
