The Elements
Guiding Mission
The Cardist Studio seeks to cultivate connection through intentional, hand-written words that acknowledge the unique spark in each of us.
We do this through commissioned messages in cards and, by extension, through education, affirmations, and consultation.
- TCS is a woman-owned & operated business, as are our vendors. We're looking to add BIPOC letterpress card vendors, so recommendations welcomed!
Commission process
"Why did this person come to your mind?"
We're listening to this answer.
It creates the heart of your message, with an added dose of Cardist magic that translates your feelings into words. Our messages are heartfelt.
Message length is between 140-200 words, which we write for you into a card or can email a "Words Only," using The Cyrano.
Community Values
20% of all money collected is donated to BIPOC organizations. Additionally, items from the Community category are 100% donated into the BlPOC community.
Current Community Fund recipient: the Audre Lorde Project's 3rd Space Program
I believe in reparations while not mistaking this for them.
