About these Simple Birthday Cards
Not every birthday card should be trying to be funny. These are the plain ones: clean type, plenty of white space, and the name or the number doing all the work. They suit the people who would find a joke card embarrassing, the relationships where you are not quite sure of the tone, and anyone who just wants the card to look like it was chosen deliberately.
This is also where the foil earns its money. On a busy design the foil competes with everything else. On a plain one it is the only thing happening, and it looks it.
Made to order in my studio in Mallow, County Cork, on heavyweight cardstock, blank inside, with a kraft or white envelope. Real foil is pressed by hand one sheet at a time in gold, silver, rose gold or holographic. Dispatch is 2 to 4 working days by An Post. See also foil keepsake cards and 50th birthday cards, where this style tends to suit best.

Simple Birthday Cards questions, answered
What size are the cards, and what do they cost?
Most designs come in two sizes. A6 at 10.5 by 14.8 cm, from 3.99 euro, and A5 at 14.8 by 21 cm, from 4.50 euro. A few designs are A6 only. The sizes and prices available are shown on each product page.
Can I add a name?
On personalised designs, yes. Type the name into the box on the product page and it is printed on the card. Premade designs are printed exactly as shown, with no name.
Is anything printed inside?
No. The inside is left blank so you can write your own message. Any personalisation is printed on the front of the card.
Does it come with an envelope?
Yes. Every card is sent with an envelope included in the price, kraft or white depending on the design.
Are the cards foiled or printed?
Both. Most designs are printed on 300gsm card with a smooth matte finish, and some are finished with real foil pressed by hand. A few are scratch-off. The finish is stated on each product page.
What if I spot a mistake in the details?
Message me straight away. If it has not gone to print yet I will fix it at no cost. Once it is printed and dispatched, a replacement is a paid reprint.
How long before it arrives?
Made to order and dispatched within 2 to 4 working days, then standard An Post delivery within Ireland.
