In today’s increasingly digital world, where digital art populates social media and AI-generated art is on the rise, a handwritten thank you note can feel like a breath of fresh air. It’s a small gesture that conveys a big message: gratitude, appreciation, and a touch of personal connection.
But let’s be honest, sometimes a plain white note card can feel a bit…well, plain.
This is where art note cards come in!
By incorporating beautiful artwork into your thank you notes, you can elevate the experience for both you and the recipient.
Here’s why art note cards are the perfect way to express your thanks in a stylish and memorable way.
The Power of a Personal Touch
Art note cards add a personal touch to your thank you message. Imagine sending a thank you note to your friend for hosting a dinner party. A generic notecard might say “Thanks for the meal!”
However, a thank you note written on a card featuring a vibrant still life depicting a delicious spread of food adds a special touch. It shows you put extra thought into your message and connects the artwork to the occasion.
Art that Speaks Volumes
The beauty of art note cards lies in the vast array of artwork available. From classic landscapes to modern abstracts, you can find art that reflects your taste and the sentiment of your message.
For a heartfelt thank you to a family member, a card featuring a warm and inviting scene, like the MFA Prendergast Notecard Box, featuring Maurice Prendergast’s “Sunset,” could be the perfect choice.
A Lasting Impression
Art note cards become keepsakes. Unlike a disposable email or text message, a handwritten note on a beautiful art note card is more likely to be saved and cherished. The recipient can display the card on a fridge or bulletin board, or even frame it as a piece of art.
The Museum of Fine Arts Boston offers a variety of boxed notecard sets like the Kawase Hasui: The Seasons Notecard Box or the Wolf Kahn: Hours of the Day Notecard Box, featuring the works of various artists. These sets provide a beautiful selection of art to choose from for any occasion.
Beyond the Words: The Art of Choosing Your Note Card
With so many art note cards to choose from, how do you select the perfect one? Here are some tips:
● Consider the occasion: For a formal thank you, a more traditional landscape or floral design might be appropriate. For a casual thank you to a friend, a more whimsical or modern design could work well.
● Think about the recipient: Choose artwork that you think the recipient will appreciate. Do they have a favorite artist or style?
● Read the artwork: The artwork itself can inspire your message. For example, a card featuring a scene of cherry blossoms, like the Kazuyuki Ohtsu: Cherry Trees Boxed Notecards, could inspire you to write about the beauty and fleeting nature of life.
