We proofread every order.

Homeschool Diploma.com has received Carlson Craft's Distinguished Dealer award for the past 9 years for the work we do to assist our customers! You are ordering from a small business with excellent customer service, NOT from a computer-generated system where your data goes direct-to-press without human intervention!

Announcements are not submitted for printing until we have e-mailed or called you with any questions or suggestions about your text which are beyond the scope of what you give us permission to edit.

#1
This delicate Bright White Vellum paper is perfect with lighter ink colors. It is especially nice with violet, thistle, pink, sage, or silver ink. The ink color you choose will be used for the inside text as well as for the cover design of your choice.(16 designs are available for the front of the card; see them on this page.)   Shown here with raised fuchsia ink, and design #GB12, this bright white card comes with matching bright white outer envelopes. The inner envelope may be added, if desired.

#2
Black Vellum paper has a smooth finish and looks great with silver or gold ink. Black seems to get more and more popular every year! This sample is shown with design #GBC12, although any of the 16 designs shown on this page may be used for the front of the announcement. Choose silver, gold or white ink for the printing. (These inks are flat, not raised, on black paper, and the paper color will influence the ink colors somewhat, so that white ink will appear more grey.) With this paper, you can select your envelopes: single grey outer envelopes add a contemporary look with the silver ink. If you are using gold ink, we recommend the white envelope.

#3
The Silver Deckle-Edged paper is a fresh, bright white vellum with the silver deckle along the bottom edge of the card (or along the right edge when used with one of the vertical designs). The outer envelopes, which are included, have the same silver edging along the square back flap.  This design, #GF12, is shown here in cobalt ink, but is also very nice in bordeaux, hunter, navy,or the pastel colors like sage or lilac. For a sparkling silver effect, try raised silver ink on this paper!  Start with the button below to order this silver-edged paper with any of the designs shown on this page.

#5
NEW for 2012 - this rich navy paper is offered with white or silver flat ink. It is shown here with the new design #GAU12, but you may choose any of the 16 Classic Designs. The navy vellum card comes with single bright white envelope (an inner envelope is available for an additional cost, if desired).This sample is shown with the white ink. Keep in mind that the dark paper color will influence the finished color of the ink. Here, the white ink has a light blue look.

#6
This soft white vellum paper, with its deckled edge, adds a touch of elegance to any design you choose. This is not as dark as ecru, but more of a "cream" color.  Great with darker inks, especially claret, bordeaux, violet, and the hunter green shown here. Raised gold ink is also a very nice choice on this paper. Select from any of 16 Classic Designs, The soft white paper is shown here with design #GH12, which has a "seniors" crest. Comes with matching single soft white envelopes, which also have the deckled edge.

# 7.
This paper is a dark, slate grey with a matching envelope that looks great with a silver foil seal. The sample is shown with "blue" ink and design # GAR12. Select from any of 16 Classic Designs. We recommend the deep ink colors like black, navy, and blue (which are raised inks), and also silver ink, which is flat. Keep in mind that the dark grey of the announcement will change the tint of the ink somewhat -- for example, the blue ink is normally a very bright color, but the grey paper tones it down considerably.
