Embossed

Embossed postcards have designs slightly raised above the card's surface. Heavily embossed cards have almost a papier-mâché style, that stands greatly above the surface.

​Novelty cards typically belong to categories exhibited elsewhere (such as Greeting or Comic) but have been placed here due to media type, method of manufacture, or both.
