“You are Loved”. I absolutely adore stationary. In our world of hi-tech devices, stationary is an art form that is not appreciated.
Thank you for the lovely time we had together but now it’s time for you to leave
I like double-duty cards. I’ve always wanted a card that has a crossword on it and the remaining letters are the message for the recipient.
You know, make them work for it.
“Why are you so AWESOME?!”
No, really, why is Design Milk so delightful? I love beautiful stationary! *crosses fingers*
“You are spectacular.” I like ways of saying thank you without really saying “thank you.” I also enjoy the personality and casual feel behind it, rather than just a generic ‘thanks’. I think if I were to receive this card, I would feel like I was truly appreciated by someone.
“I’m no rocket surgeon…”
Thanks for letting me be awkward.
Honestly… do you think i could ever live without you?
Employees and loved ones alike have been know to give a little swoon over that one!
You’re my lobster.
I’m always looking for a greeting card that says: “Sorry it took me so long to send you this card. I kept meaning to get to the post office but I never actually got around to it. Three months late is still good though, right?” Something to that effect.
“get well now”
sorry i havent emailed, called, or written but….
“Thanks for lovingly putting up with my insanity”
or the flipside
“Sorry you didn’t take the great advice I gave you”
I’ve wished for both of those more than once.
I adore you.
or
You’re amazing.
Oh Dear Buffalo.
“Ooh child, things are gonna get easier”
“I love you so much, I don’t even mind your ___________.”
Where the hell have you been?!
“Happy Half-Birthday!” One of my best friends has her birthday on my half-birthday (and vice-versa) and I’ve always wanted to send her a half-birthday card.

I’m a jerk . . . Sorry I pissed you off.
“Thank you for the $10 grandma, now I can buy a beer with it.”
OH my GOD – I’ve been looking for that card for years!
“Thanks for talking me down”
Thanks for understanding that I had horrible PMS this weekend.
I love you!
I’m always looking for a card that says “Happy Happy Day!” (Happy Day is the day I was adopted.)
Something that is not so corny and sappy that it hurts my teeth. I like sarcasm paired with design, but never if it’s cheesy.
I’m always looking for a way to show I care without being sappy!
I rarely find good, clean designs! And my sister said that finding a decent looking Mother-in-law card for mothers day was impossible!
“I hate Mondays”
i would love to see a card that says “Don’t Tell Me What I Can’t Do!”
Best Puppy Ever!
Congratulations on the new furr baby in your family!
There’s some really great and funny ideas here.
Thanks so much.
Dan Savage recently got a letter from a reader who had sent an e-card saying “I’m sorry for farting in your mouth.” It would be nice to see that printed on classy stationery.

I’m so happy for you!
Hoppy Birthday!
with bunnies all over.
“Sweet!” That could lead into many different subjects…
“I can’t believe I never told you that…”
I would love to find a card so suspenseful yet so flexible!
i love you.. i know it sounds simple but just that..
“Thanks, but no thanks! “
“i need you
”
j.
How the hell are you?
“Thank you for the thank you card gift certificate — as you can see, I’m putting it to good use!”
See, you can’t be that mad at me… I’m sending you a card!
more that are for from a group.
The cheesy, glittery terribleness of the Mother’s Day cards I perused this weekend made me yearn for some beautifully simple cards.
I’d like art appropriate for a man.
You go !!! College Days are the best but remember home is rate around the corner.
“I can’t imagine my life without you”
Love this giveaway!
I want a card that says “sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t” for all of my teacher friends when they are having a bad day and their kids are driving them crazy.lol.
“So sorry I missed your _________, but we both know I’m terrible at this.”
Yeah. I send a lot of very belated gifts. :/
Thanks!
