I just love how they turned out!
After completing the artwork, I took picture each one and formatted them to fit on a piece of folded colored card stock. Then I had them printed at our local print shop on premium white paper.
Of course, I could have printed them myself, but placing two art pics on one sheet of paper is so inexpensive to print compared to using a home printer, and the color is beautiful and dependable.
Cut the art prints to leave about 1/4 inch all the way around.
Our images were 5.25" x 7" for 5.5" by 7.25" cards (folded). Of course, your dimensions are up to you.
Simply cut them out and glue them on the face of the folded cards. We used glue sticks so they would stay flat and not wrinkle.
Now you can write in them as they are, Or, for darker cardstock, you can fold a slightly smaller sheet of white sheet of paper inside for your message. Simply add a dab of glue to the paper near the center fold to keep it in place.

We used purchased (5.75" x 8.75") peel & stick greeting card envelopes, which you can find at any stationary or big box store - ours came from Walmart.
