A Chinese seal on a greeting card can act as a small finishing mark. Before stamping, decide where it belongs in relation to the message, artwork, and fold so the impression feels planned rather than crowded.
Choose the card and placement first
Look at the card flat and folded. Leave a clear margin around the text and any illustration, and consider placing a trial mark on a similar scrap before working on the finished card. Paper texture and absorbency can change how an impression looks, so a test is more useful than assuming every card stock behaves the same way.
Keep the inscription readable
Start with a name, initials, or short wording. If the mark is being designed for you, Seal of East’s Design Your Seal page shows Chinese seal and English script options and explains that a digital proof is sent before carving. Check the spelling, character choices, and overall layout in that proof.
Compare current seal examples
For an existing piece, review the current descriptions for the Amber Glow Seal and Amber Orange Qilin Seal; the product pages list their own details and do not promise that a specific card stock will produce a particular result. Browse the full Seal of East collection before choosing.
For a card with sentimental or archival value, consider a separate insert instead of making a permanent mark on the card itself. A little planning keeps the greeting legible and makes the seal an intentional part of the design.
