Printmaking is particularly suited to greetings cards because you can make multiple copies from one design. You create the matrix on either an etching plate, a silkscreen, a lino or wood block and then print as many as you will need. You can also draw or paint individual cards with our ready-to-use blank greetings cards and envelopes. And we now stock Strathmore inkjet cards for making reproduction prints of your paintings to use as greetings cards.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/Art_Departments-A-Z_All_Departments-Printmaking\/c2129_2128_2119\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/xmas.linocut1-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas linocut Locke-Caves\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-14928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/xmas.linocut1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/xmas.linocut1.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We have a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/Art_Departments-A-Z_All_Departments-Books_for_Artists-Printmaking_Books\/c2129_2128_498_25204\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Printmaking Books Department<\/a> that will help you get started with inspiration or instruction and we have a growing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/Art_Departments-A-Z_All_Departments-Printmaking\/c2129_2128_2119\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Printmaking Department<\/a> with a variety of tools and inks to choose from, which now includes an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/Art_Departments-A-Z_All_Departments-Printmaking-Etching\/c2129_2128_2119_12552\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Etching section<\/a> and new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/?p=15376\" target=\"_blank\">Gelli Plates<\/a> for monoprinting.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/Art_Departments-A-Z_All_Departments-Printmaking-Lino_and_Block_Printing\/c2129_2128_2119_12410\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/BCUTTERS-300x99.jpg\" alt=\"linocutter\" width=\"300\" height=\"99\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-15454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/BCUTTERS-300x99.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/BCUTTERS-620x205.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/BCUTTERS.jpg 735w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>TOOLS AND INKS<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/Art_Departments-A-Z_All_Departments-Printmaking-Lino_and_Block_Printing\/c2129_2128_2119_12410\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Lino Print:<\/a> We carry a selection of Lino tools and inks for relief printing which works great for printing your own greetings cards.
