Cardnotes – A Heartfelt Way to Connect with Loved Ones
Rediscover the joy of handwritten notes with our custom Cardnotes — the modern twist on classic postcards that bring back the charm of sending heartfelt messages by mail. Whether it's a quick hello, a birthday wish, or just a note to say "I'm thinking of you," these A6-sized notecards make it easy and beautiful to stay connected with the people who matter most.
Made from premium 250–350 gsm cardstock for durability and elegance, each notecard comes with its own matching envelope — both fully customisable so you can add names, quotes, illustrations, or personal messages. Inspired by old-school postcards but designed for today’s meaningful connections, these are perfect for anyone who appreciates the art of letter writing, without the fuss of a full letter.
What Are Cardnotes Used For?
These elegant, A6-sized notecards are more than just paper — they’re small but powerful tools for connection, creativity, and communication. Here are some of the most popular uses:
-
Sending Thoughtful Messages
In a world dominated by digital communication, receiving a handwritten note feels special. Use your Cardnote to send a short but sincere message to someone far away — whether it's a thank-you, an apology, or simply a “just because” reminder that you care.
Because they're compact and easy to write, they encourage spontaneous acts of kindness and regular correspondence — making them ideal for long-distance friendships, family members, or even pen pals.
-
Personalised Thank-You Cards
Whether you're thanking a friend for their support, a teacher for their guidance, or a colleague for their help, a personalised Cardnote makes the gesture feel more intentional and memorable. Add a name or a short quote to make it extra special.
-
Mini Greeting Cards for Every Occasion
Birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, or just because — these notecards fit perfectly into any celebration. Their size makes them easy to send and display, and the thick, high-quality cardstock ensures they feel substantial and well-made.
Many customers use them as alternative birthday cards, baby shower announcements, or holiday greetings — especially when paired with a matching envelope for a polished look.
-
Keepsakes & Memory Jots
Use your Cardnote to capture a moment in time — a quote that inspired you, a memory you want to keep, or a goal you’ve achieved. Because they’re sturdy and made to last, many people collect their favourite notes in a box or frame them for inspiration.
-
Easy-to-Send Stationery for Minimalists
For those who love stationery but don’t want to carry around a whole journal or write lengthy letters, Cardnotes offer the perfect middle ground. Just enough space to express yourself, and simple enough to drop in the mail without delay.
Did You Know? Studies show that receiving a handwritten note can boost mood and reduce stress — making Cardnotes a simple but powerful way to spread positivity.
Product Features – Designed for Quality & Personalisation
Each Cardnote is crafted with care and built to stand out in a sea of digital messages. Here's what makes them unique:
-
A6 Landscape Format (148 × 105 mm ± 2 mm)
This classic landscape size is reminiscent of vintage postcards — perfect for jotting down a few lines of text, adding a small sketch, or including a mini quote or photo. Compact yet expressive, it’s the ideal format for quick but meaningful communication.
The horizontal layout gives you a little extra width for creative expression, making it great for artists, poets, or anyone who likes to play with design alongside words.
-
Thick, High-Quality Cardstock (250–350 gsm)
We use only premium cardstock materials to ensure your message arrives looking sharp and feeling luxurious. The thick, durable finish resists bending and creasing — so your note stays in great condition from desk to mailbox.
The weight of the cardstock also makes it perfect for fountain pens, markers, or light watercolour work — no bleeding or warping, just smooth writing every time.
-
Matching Custom Envelopes
Each Cardnote comes with a coordinating envelope that can be fully customised with your preferred text or design. You can match the envelope to the card or go bold with contrasting colours and fonts — the choice is yours.
Personalising the envelope adds an extra layer of thoughtfulness, making your recipient feel excited to open it before they even read the message inside.
Fun Fact: The A6 size is often used for postcards and gift tags — proving that big feelings can come in small packages!

Customisation Options – Make It Truly Yours
One of the best parts of using our Cardnotes is the ability to personalise them to reflect your personality, relationship, or occasion. Here’s how you can customise your set:
-
Front of Notecard
Choose what appears on the front — your name, a meaningful quote, a date, or even a drawing. This is your chance to set the tone for what’s inside, whether it’s playful, sentimental, or motivational.
-
Inside Writing Space
Leave the interior blank for your handwriting or pre-print a message if you're creating a batch of cards for a specific purpose — like encouraging notes for students or daily affirmations for a friend.
-
Envelope Personalisation
Match the envelope to the theme of your note or make it a surprise by printing something unexpected. Many users choose to include the recipient’s name on the envelope — giving it that extra personal touch.
Fun Fact: People often reuse envelopes for DIY crafts, scrapbooking, or as part of gift wrapping — so your personalisation might live on far beyond the original message!
