Confetti Stationery How-To
![]() With its perfectly round silhouette, the circle is as fundamental to graphic design as flour is to cake batter. Enter our spirited stationery collection, which puts confetti on display in all its roly-poly glory. Tools and Materials Stationery How-To 2. Print the invitation and reply card on heavy paper (cover weight or similar; see our choice below) in white. Use a craft knife and a metal straightedge to cut between the crop marks (do not cut all the way to the edge of the paper; this will leave the crop marks available for subsequent cuts). 3. For the reception card, print onto heavy paper (cover weight or similar) in a bright color, and punch out using a 3-inch circle craft punch. (Turn the punch upside down so that you can see the text in the opening to guide your cut.) 4. For envelopes, use an A7 envelope (5 1/4 by 7 1/4 inch) for the outer envelope, and a 4-bar envelope (3 5/8 by 5 1/8 inch) for the reply card. We used a smaller circle craft punch to make confetti to slip into the envelope. 5. To make coordinating seating cards, use craft punches in various sizes (the largest circles are made with a 3-inch punch) to make rounds out of cover-weight paper. Use a hole punch to make holes through several layers, and join with a paper fastener (sometimes called a brad).
