Single Card
One handmade card with its envelope. Pick the occasion — or the glorious lack of one.

Handmade · one at a time
Cards worth keeping in the drawer.
Small-batch greeting cards, cut and inked by hand at a sunlit kitchen table. For birthdays, for holidays, and for the ordinary Tuesdays that deserve a little more than a text.
The Cards
Pick a card. Or let me make one.
Every card is folded, inked, and signed by hand — so no two are quite identical, which I think is the whole point.
Box of Five
A mixed box of five, so there's always one in the drawer the moment you need it. No two the same.

Custom Card
Tell me the moment and the person. You get one card that exists nowhere else in the world.
$15/ made just for you
Commission yours
Founding members: order before our first market table this autumn and I'll tuck a free blank card into your parcel — my way of saying thank you for being early.
How it works
Three small steps, one good card.
Tell me
Send one email — the occasion, the names, anything you'd like written inside. No accounts, no forms.
I make it
I cut, ink, and letter your card by hand at the kitchen table — usually the same afternoon I read your note.
It arrives
Wrapped in tissue and posted within 48 hours, ready to slip into a pocket, a bag, or that trusty drawer.
A note from the maker
"I started Card Canvas because the best things I've ever been given were small, handmade, and meant for me — and I wanted to make more of those for other people."
Every card here is something I'd be happy to receive myself: good paper, real copper ink, a fold pressed by hand. It's a young little shop, and you'd be one of its first customers — which honestly means a lot.

If a card arrives bent, or it isn't right, I'll remake and resend it free — just reply to your order email.
Good to know
A few honest answers.
How soon will my card arrive?
Stocked singles and boxes go in the post within 48 hours of your order. Custom cards take a touch longer — usually two to three days while I draw and ink them — and I'll always tell you the date when you book.
How do I actually order?
One email does it. Tell me which card, how many, and where it's going. I'll reply with the total and a simple way to pay — no account to create, no checkout maze.
What can a custom card say?
Anything that fits the moment — an inside joke, a birthday name, a few lines of your own, a colour you love. Send me the details and I'll letter it by hand. If you'd rather it stay blank inside, that's lovely too.
Can I change my mind?
Of course. You can cancel a custom order any time before I start cutting it. And if anything arrives damaged or not as you hoped, reply to your order email and I'll remake it free.
Will you be at local markets?
That's the plan — the first market table is coming this autumn. Email me if you'd like a heads-up on the date, and I'll let you know where to find me.
