Kathmandu Valley Co. Nepali Cherish Greeting Card & Envelope Deluxe Box Set with Handmade Lokta Paper from Nepal, 25 Cards (Cornflower)

So. It seems that I am getting old, because at a mere 40 years old, I fondly miss the days of getting handwritten notes from people. Sure, texting is convenient and quick but we lose so much. So, in giving out gifts to my friends' young children, I decided to give a handwritten note along with a silver dollar to each of them. (Yes, a note reflecting on the previous year and a good old-fashioned silver dollar. I *AM* only 40 years old!)Well, this paper is beautiful. It's not something I would necessarily send through the mail, but it's fine for giving in person. I also bought a nice wax seal kit to give it another special touch. The paper itself is soft and textured, and the artistic flare is beautiful. I was concerned that the liquid ink pens I prefer would bleed right through the soft paper, but there was no bleed at all! Soft, elegant, beautiful, and durable, I expect these notes to still be in great condition when the kids read the notes in 20 years! Here's hoping they cherish the thought for a moment before tossing the note in the trash and pawning the silver dollar for cash! :) Whatever they do with the gifts is their business but I am thrilled with the artifact I was able to share.

This stationary is so lovely. I love the natural, delicate texture and there are just the right amount of petals throughout. I always receive compliments when I send notes on this paper. The only possible downside is that there isn’t any glue on the envelope to seal it, but it’s no big-I just use my kid’s glue stick.

These are so sweet and I love the homemade paper feel to them. They made great ‘Thank You’ cards.I will definitely but again.

I LOVE this set of cards and envelopes and the way they feel. I would definitely recommend this for gifts too. The only drawback is that the envelopes don’t have any sealant but that’s not a problem for me. There’s no reason to seal them unless you’re mailing them. There is always the option to tuck the flap inside or get wax and a personalized stamp for the wax when either gifting in person or including within a gift when mailing.

Made from Lokta plant... flowers in the paper and envelopes. The box is beautiful and makes this a stunning 🎁 gift!!! I love this!

I save these for people who would understand what went into making this paper. The flowers are perfectly suspended in the pulp. Magical! The paper is very soft, almost like fabric, and highly textured. The envelopes do not have adhesive, but I use double sided tape to seal them when I mail the notes. The responses from friends who received them is pure delight!

This stationary is beautifully made. I have written with really heavy ink on these and there is no bleed through. The paper is soft but durable and makes for beautiful letters. I’ll definitely be purchasing again.

Not sure why but this product arrive smelling kind of odd. Not sure if it got damp in transit but I cannot get rid of the stale smell. They are really pretty tho
