What is special about grass paper?

Grass paper is a particularly sustainable material with a natural character. For its production, 40% of the conventional pulp is replaced by grass fibres from regional areas. Therefore, the grass defines the entire character of the paper and give it not only its special colour and concise inclusions, but also a pleasantly natural feel. The basic tone of the paper is beige with yellowish to greenish tendencies, the inclusions stand out in darker tones. Due to the fact that grass paper is a natural product it is subject to slight colour variations. Another special characteristic of the material is the light scent of hay.

In our online shop you will find a paper quality in DIN A4 and two cardboard qualities of grass paper, each in DIN A4 and DIN A3. Furthermore, there are grass paper envelopes and cards in multiple formats available. The shop category grass paper shows the entire range of this sustainable material. Perfect for getting to know it is our grass paper tester pack. With the included samples you can test printing and individual processing.

Small format with a big impact – greeting cards in mini format

The grass paper mini cards and envelopes are perfect for designing small self-made greeting cards for friends, family or other close persons. The possibilities are as numerous as the occasions for which personal, endearing messages bring joy to your beloved ones. You can use the minis as birthday cards, congratulations or thank-you cards. They are perfect to convey get-well wishes, or simply say “I’m thinking of you”. The blank cards are sufficiently neutral to be used for a wide variety of events and topics, such as Valentine’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day and Christmas.
Plus: With the practical sets of 25, you are always perfectly prepared to send spontaneous little messages and greetings.

Due to their small size the cards and envelopes can be designed as gift cards or gift tags and are also excellent as an add-on to presents. For example, you can put them in a bouquet of flowers or on a box of chocolates. They give every gift and souvenir a personal, individual touch.

However, the mini duo is not only suitable for classic greeting cards and can be designed in many different ways. We will show you 2 x 5 design ideas and inspirations for the creative use of grass paper cards and envelopes!

5 design ideas for the grass paper mini duo

Motifs: Floral motifs emphasise the natural character of grass paper. Besides classic flowers and blossoms, meadow grasses also look great on the material. Drawn or painted flower wreaths come out beautifully on the square format.

Colours: You can create particularly harmonious designs on grass paper with natural colour palettes. The warm yellow and orange tones of the sun, soft green and light sky blue – the colours of nature are the perfect inspiration. But don’t worry, the material also supports bright colours.

Minimalism: Reduced designs with clear lines and sparse details give the cards and envelopes a pure aesthetic and let the simple beauty of grass paper speak for itself. The mini format also helps you to get to the heart of your message.

Rounded corners: With the square mini duo, you choose a super modern format. The grass paper cards look even more special with rounded corners. You can easily cut them with scissors; however, they turn out particularly elegant and neat with a special punch.

Painting mediums: You can use a lot of different painting tools on grass paper. But you shouldn’t work too wet, as the material is not as absorbent as watercolour paper, for example. We particularly like coloured pencil drawings, water soluble crayons or gouache on grass paper.

5 inspirations for the creative use of mini cards and mini envelopes

DIY bookmarks

The mini cards can be used as original bookmarks, because their handy size fits into any book. Individually designed, they are a special detail and a great gift for book lovers.

Recipe cards

Use the mini cards to create a collection of short recipes that can be neatly stored in a small wooden box or a design carton. You can combine it with a bottle of the recipient’s favourite spirit and get a particularly creative gift with inspiration for delicious drinks.

Place cards

Whether for a wedding, garden party, birthday, workshop or other occasions: a pretty table decoration also includes matching place cards. Simply create individual letterings with the names of your guests on the grass paper mini cards and welcome them to the table in a personalised way.

Greetings from nature

The grass paper mini cards and envelopes already carry a piece of nature in themselves. That’s why they are perfect to store findings from nature and handing them to your beloved ones. You can decorate the cards with colourful feathers, leaves or clovers to conserve memories of a joint walk or as lucky charms.

Inspirational quotes

The mini cards can also be used for inspirational quotes to share positive messages. The small cards can serve as affirmation cards for mindful daily routines and can be pinned to the fridge or desk.
