Handmade in Mallow, Co. Cork

Cards for Grandparents

Birthday and occasion cards for grandparents, grandads and grandmothers, handmade in County Cork, Ireland from €3.90, with a warmer, more sentimental tone than the average shelf card. Cards are printed in full colour on premium cardstock, with real foil used on a portion of the more formal designs. A5 and A6 sizes are stocked, and many of the illustrated grandad and grandparent cards use line-art styles built around family moments rather than generic birthday clip art.

Cards come in A5 and A6 with an envelope included, from €3.90, in printed colour or real foil. Filter by occasion, relationship and style.

About these Cards for Grandparents

Cards for grandparents get read more carefully than almost any other card, and they get kept. Nana, Granny, Grandad, Mamo and Daideo all appear here, because what a family calls them is rarely what a shop assumes. That naming is the whole point of a personalised card, and it is the bit a supermarket cannot do.

The designs stay warm rather than clever, and the type is set generously so it reads easily without glasses, which matters more than any foil finish. Filters cover the occasion, the relationship and the style.

Made to order in my studio in Mallow, County Cork, on heavyweight cardstock, blank inside so the grandchildren can write their own message. Real foil is pressed by hand, and gold suits these designs best. A5 is worth it when more than one person is signing. For something that stays on the wall, the personalised home prints work well, and there are matching cards for grandson and cards for granddaughter.
