Say "Grazie a tutti" with our handprinted linocut cards

Expressing gratitude or sending a thoughtful message often calls for something more personal than a typical mass produced box store-bought card. Our new handmade greeting cards, created by linocut printmaking, offer a unique way to share your sentiments. Each 4.25"x 5.375", or A2 sized, card is a small work of art, carefully crafted by hand using traditional printmaking techniques. These cards don’t just convey your message—they become keepsakes that recipients can cherish and display. Each card comes with an A2 sized envelope.

The Art of Linocut Printing


Relief printmaking is a centuries-old technique that involves carving an image into a piece of wood, or a linoleum block. The raised areas of the block are then inked and pressed onto paper to create a print. For each print, the inking and pressing process is repeated. We use a printmaking baren instead of a printing press to hand-print each card on high-quality, archival museum-grade cotton rag paper. This paper is thick, durable, and designed to preserve the print’s clarity and vibrancy over time. The result is a card that feels substantial and looks like a piece of fine art. Since our cards are made using this method, each one is completely handmade by us in our studio.
