Make it personal without making it generic
Help the recipient reduce one of their sketches into a bold motif and sign the edition discreetly on the back.
Presentation
Wrap the blank cards and practice block together with one test print as the top sheet.
Check the practical fit
- Space
- Needs a protected table and a flat drying area for twelve cards.
- Skill
- Suitable for a careful beginner with appropriate supervision and a simple one-block design.
- Maintenance
- Clean tools and brayer immediately as directed and store the carved block flat for future prints.
- Accessibility
- Offer pre-cut shapes, a bench hook, thick handles, or stamping instead of carving when fine motor demands are unsuitable.
- Sustainability
- Use a reusable carved block, recycled-content cards, and a limited edition matched to actual recipients.
- Timing
- Begin early enough for design, carving, printing, drying, addressing, and postal delivery.
