Creative Ways to Use Vellum
If you’ve worked with vellum, you already know it’s versatile, which is one of the reasons it’s so popular. Vellum’s delicate-looking transparency belies its sturdy nature. Use it alone or in conjunction with other paper or card stock as an overlay. Decorate with it, print on it, create things with it. It’s a favorite of scrap bookers and paper craftsmen.
Besides a great selection 8 1/2 x 11 vellum sheets in a variety of clear, pastel and bright colors, small vellum overlays are also available to enhance handmade invitations with an extra layer of elegance. These overlays can also work as an easy printing solution if your invitation uses a thick or textured backing card that is difficult to print on. Check out these simple invitation wraps where a single sheet of colored vellum makes all the difference.

Do I need a special ink or printer for my vellum invitation?
Our rich, high-quality vellum stocks will work on most inkjet and laser printers. The printer compatibility for each vellum type is noted on the product page. You can simply place the paper in the printer as you would any regular paper and print your document or text onto it. It is highly recommended to test out paper samples before committing to printing a large quantity of invitations or card stocks. Please note: For optimal results we suggest using the manufacturer’s ink instead of refurbished or refilled ink cartridges.
For best printing results with inkjet printers, we recommend using The Perfect Printing Pouch. This pouch allows users to get flawless ink application by simply wiping the surface with the pouch before printing. Find easy step-by-step instructions on how to use The Perfect Printing Pouch.
Other helpful tips:
- Select "economy", "draft" or "speed" print mode (depending on the specific printer). This will lay down the least amount of ink possible, making it harder for the ink to smear.
- Let the ink dry before handling the vellum.
- Use "transparency" mode in your paper type settings if your printer has it.
