Born in Canada. Loved across North America.
Not mass-produced. Not an afterthought. Every card is designed, printed, and shipped from a real studio made for the moments that deserve more than whatever's left at the checkout line.
Birthdays. Thank-yous. The "I saw this and thought of you" ones. We've got all of it.
The card that makes them stop scrolling through their phone and actually laugh out loud.
Playful art. Wit that lands. The kind of card that gets passed around the table before it ever makes it into an envelope. Every Ink & Paper design pairs a real idea with real craft because the people in your life deserve something that actually says something.
Built to be kept, not recycled.
Thick, rich cardstock. Bold colour that doesn't fade. A feel you notice the second it's in your hand. These aren't cards that get read once and land in the recycling bin they're the ones that end up on the fridge, the desk, the mirror. The ones people hold onto.

The goal? Make someone laugh, make someone cry, or at the very least inspire them to write more than "from all of us."
A few things people ask before buying greeting cards from a small Canadian shop run by one human, one printer, and a suspicious amount of cardstock.
Most Ink & Paper cards are 4.25" x 5.5", which is the classic A2 greeting card size. Small enough to mail easily, big enough to say “I tried,” which is really the sweet spot.
Every card is designed, printed, and packaged by me in my home studio in Alberta. No outsourcing, no big-box vibes, no mysterious card factory where the fluorescent lights never sleep.
Yes. They are blank inside so you can write something heartfelt, unhinged, poetic, or just “from all of us” if the group chat gave you nothing.
Cards are usually shipped within two business days. I move pretty fast for someone who is regularly distracted by paper samples, printer settings, and the emotional complexity of envelopes.
Yes. Each card comes with an envelope, because handing someone a card without an envelope feels a little too chaotic, even for us.
That’s totally fine. The card already did some of the heavy emotional lifting. Add a sentence, sign your name, and act like you had a plan the whole time.
Probably not. But it might be a very charming start. Sometimes a good card can do what a paragraph text message absolutely cannot.
Because the goal is to make cards people actually want to keep, display, and maybe stick on the fridge beside a grocery list, a questionable magnet, and someone’s school photo from 2017.
Yes. You can ship directly to someone else. Just make sure the shipping address is their address, not yours, unless your plan is to receive the card and emotionally hand-deliver it like a Victorian messenger.
