The fronts

A golden, somewhere
you love at Christmas.

Six places, each drawn in loose pen and ink and finished in watercolor: a Florida boat parade, a New England harbor, a mountain lodge, the California coast, a Texas ranch and a city brownstone. Your dog takes the golden's place — or keep our golden.

Your dog takes the golden's place — or keep our golden.

Inside

Your words,
set like the front.

Pick a greeting — Merry Christmas, From our pack to yours, Peace on Earth — then change any word, or write the whole thing yourself. Sign it the way your family signs, dog included.

Your message is set in a script and a serif chosen to sit with the front's lettering, so the card reads as one piece. What you see in the maker is exactly what prints.

The card itself

Heavy card.
A sketch and a paw print.

Folded 5 × 7 inches on heavy 350 g/m² card, printed front, inside and back, with an envelope for every card. The inside left carries the scene's first pen sketch; the inside right, your words — signed with an inky paw print, as if the dog stepped in the ink.

Printed to order. Every card in a pack is the same.

Good questions

Before you
order.

Can I use a photo of my dog?

Yes — that's the idea. Upload one clear photo (one dog, face and eyes visible) and we paint your dog into the scene in our pen-and-watercolor style. It takes about a minute, and you get three tries. Or keep our golden.

What if it doesn't look like my dog?

Try again — three tries are free — or try a clearer photo. A person also looks at every painting of your dog before the cards print, and if something's off we'll fix it with you first.

Can I write my own message?

Yes. Start from any greeting and change any word — or clear it and write your own. The greeting, the message, the sign-off and the names are all yours, and the paw print is optional.

Are all the cards in a pack the same?

Yes — every card in a pack of 25 has the same front and the same words inside. Want two versions? Make the second one and add it as its own pack.

Can I get the ornament and mug to match?

Yes — after you see your card, add the ceramic ornament and the mug with the same painting of your dog. Orders over $99 ship free.

Can I use emoji?

Emoji and a few symbols can't be printed in the card's lettering, so the maker leaves them out and tells you. Letters, numbers, accents and punctuation all print.

When will my cards arrive?

Cards are made to order and are usually on their way within a week, plus shipping time. Leave extra time to address and post them to friends and family. Order early for Christmas.
