In a world where messages are pinged across screens in seconds, it might seem old-fashioned to send a card. But at Fruit Salad Studio, we believe greeting cards are more important than ever. They’re thoughtful, tangible, joyful little objects that make people smile (and maybe even do a little happy dance). Here’s why popping a card in the post is still the loveliest way to connect.
Real-Life Joy You Can Hold
There’s something magical about holding a card in your hands. The paper, the design, the scribbled handwriting inside — it’s so much more special than another text bubble on your phone. That’s why we design all our cards to feel like a mini celebration on thick, tactile card stock. They’re the kind of thing people pin on the fridge and keep for ages.
Cards are like tiny mirrors of your personality. Maybe you’re a bold-colours type, maybe you’re a pastel-loving softie, maybe you’re all about the cheeky puns. Whatever your vibe, choosing a card shows you’ve really thought about the person receiving it. Our Everyday Card Collection is packed with designs for “just because” moments — so you can surprise a friend out of the blue with a little burst of you.
Cards Become Little Keepsakes
Unlike a WhatsApp message, a card doesn’t disappear. It stays. It gets propped on shelves, tucked into scrapbooks, or rediscovered years later with a smile. And if you're anything like me, I love to frame interesting cards and use them as mini artworks.
Writing a card slows you down. You pause, pick up a pen, and really think about what you want to say. That mindfulness is a gift in itself.
Supporting Creativity & Small Business
Every card you send supports real humans — not faceless algorithms. From the sketchbook to the cutting table, our designs are dreamt up, printed, and packaged with care. Choosing a card from us means you’re backing indie design and keeping creativity thriving. And when I say us, I really mean me!
It Feels Good to Send, Too
We’ll let you in on a secret: sending cards is just as heart-warming as receiving them. Whether it’s a Congratulations Card for a big win or a Sympathy Card for tough times, putting kindness on paper lifts your mood as much as theirs.
Greeting cards aren’t old-fashioned. They’re timeless. They’re small artworks filled with big feelings. They connect us, slow us down, and remind people they’re loved.
So next time you want to send a smile, skip the text and post a card instead. Whether it’s a birthday, a thank-you, or just-because, we’ve got you covered with designs that are colourful, bold, and always brimming with joy.
