River Linen 230 Greeting Cards

Greeting card paper

Amber Trumpower, Oct 20, 2026

I have tried several greeting card papers, and there are absolutely none that can compare to the red river linen. The colors are so vibrant. I’ve only received great reviews from my customer customers on these cards.

A welcome surprise

When I ordered several boxes of 5x7 photo and matte paper I included River Linen 230 which I had never tried before.

While everyone seems to be producing papers with the same range of surfaces and whiteness, River Linen has a very attractive textured surface that is reminiscent of papers that were popular in the middle of the last century. If you want to frame and display it you may be tempted to skip the glass.

It can be used for any image that you would print on matte paper. The texture is subtle and barely visible unless you are looking at it in the "wrong" light. The paper has a medium thickness but stiff enough to pass around.

And to top it off, it is a bargain at any size.

Excellent quality

I create fine art greeting cards featuring reproductions of my original oil paintings, and the quality of the paper is incredibly important to me. I used to purchase less expensive card blanks, but I was never truly happy with the finished product. The difference since switching to Red River's linen cards has been remarkable!

The colors are beautiful, the details in my artwork really pop, and the subtle linen texture gives each card an elegant, professional finish. They feel like something special rather than just another greeting card.

As an artist and small business owner, I take pride in everything I create, and I want my customers to feel that same sense of quality when they hold one of my cards. These blanks have helped me create a product I'm genuinely proud to put my name on.

They're worth every penny, and I won't be going back to cheaper alternatives!
