Offhand Cards for Common Situations
For small mercies, emotional subpoenas, and full stops
Not every sentiment fits inside a Hallmark “thinking of you.” These cards speak more candidly—when the moment calls for something else. Some soothe. Others provoke. Each one is designed to echo the words you’d offer yourself—if only you could find them.
From bittersweet goodbyes to stubborn encouragement, every card carries layered meaning that shifts with the giver, the recipient, and the moment.

About Offhand Cards for Common Situations
Printed on premium cardstock, each of our Offhand Cards for Common Situations blends carefully chosen text with either original illustrations or restored public domain artwork. Every design explores the in-between spaces—where sentiment meets truth, and where giving a card becomes both an offering and an act of clarity.
These cards are designed for real moments: encouragement after setbacks, quiet goodbyes, small mercies, and overdue reconciliations. Each piece carries a handmade, art-print quality—making it as collectible as it is thoughtful.
Together, they form a candid collection of small gestures that comfort, confront, or simply acknowledge what’s hard to say aloud—perfect for writers, artists, and introspective souls who prefer meaning over convention.

Fox & Thistle Studio seamlessly blends curiosity, creativity, and sustainability. Rooted in the idea that simplicity speaks volumes, our essence is embodied in the paradoxical, insightful, and endlessly playful nature of finding and creating.
