I don't, at home. I take them to a normal printing press and they run through like cardstock. I provide them with the art. I cut them up at home kind of on an as-needed basis. Since the sheets are stored stacked and sort of sealed, the cedar stays fresh and retains it's color. Otherwise the cedar oxidizes and mutes in color.

Here they are.


Interesting story behind this last order of card sheets. I ordered my normal variety of species, but mostly cedar. I asked really nicely of she could hand-pick from the cedar, all the really wild grain figures.

Amazing what she got me. Some of the sheets would just make you drool. I take them to my printer, I tell him, THIS is the side to be printed on.

Of course, he printed on the other side. I can see how both sides could look the same to someone who's not into wood. It still made a great card, and the backsides of my cards are fabulous.
