I have been making my own Art Cards for a few years now and they are becoming more and more popular. I actually enjoy making them myself. It is a bit time consuming but well worth the effort. The process is simple: I use a high-quality, acid-free card stock, usually an ivory colour with a deckled (torn) edge and envelope to match. The paper has a distinctive texture which is lovely to write on. I use printed images of my paintings and then hand-sign each card with the Painting title and my signature. The inside of the card is blank.
I have thought about having them printed professionally but it takes away from the handmade and personal element of this product and I find that the quality is superior compared to what you would get from a printer.

If anyone would like to order my cards, locally they can be purchased in Faro Yukon at the Discovery Store and in Whitehorse they are available at Yukon Artists At Work on 120 Industrial Road. To mail order the cards, I will send an order with a minimum of 6 cards for $38.00 shipping included.
