I saw this cardinal and thought of your bird feeder. I miss our Saturday walks.

Call me this week?

A hello, a reason you thought of them, and a plan to talk.

What Is a Friendship Card?

A friendship card is any card you send a friend without waiting for a holiday or a birthday. People also call them just because cards. The best ones have a picture on the front and nothing printed inside, so the words are all yours.

Friendship Cards by Theme

Playful Cats: four watercolor cats among flowers, for the friend who sends you cat videos.
Assorted Dogs: twelve dog breeds in one box, so you can match the card to their dog.
Birds of America: six backyard birds with their names in script, for the friend with a bird feeder.
Marine Sea Animal and Nautical Lighthouse: watercolor sea life and lighthouses, for beach and lake people.
Vintage National Park, American Wilderness and Natural Wonders: twelve parks per box, for hikers and road trippers.
Butterfly Garden, Boho Rainbow and Ladybug: bright patterns for a note that should make them smile.
Christian Cross Greeting Cards: a cross of small blue flowers, for a friend from church or Bible study.

Messages for a Friendship Card

Just Because

Today felt like a good day to remind you that you are my favorite.
I had a cup of coffee this morning and wished it was with you.
You came to mind for no reason at all, which is the best reason.

For a Friend Far Away

Your time zone is wrong, but you are still my first call.
I walked past our favorite bakery and bought two cookies out of habit.
Sending this card because a hug will not fit through the mail slot.

For a Friend Going Through a Hard Time

No advice in this card. Just love, and a standing offer to bring dinner.
Take your time with everything. I am not going anywhere.
When you are ready to talk, or not talk, I am around.

Keep a Few on Hand

A box of 12 lasts a long time when you keep it near the front door with a book of stamps. When a friend comes to mind, you can write three lines and have it in the mail the same afternoon. For help with the envelope, see how to address an envelope.

Quotes for the inside

Quotes for a friend.

A short quote can open the card. See our friendship quotes. For a friend going through a hard time, see these words of encouragement. To thank a friend, see our gratitude quotes.
