Connect with a card

During the coronavirus crisis, I am offering a free service of writing your message on the card of your choice and mailing it straight to your friend or family member.

During the coronavirus crisis, I am offering a free service of writing your message on the card of your choice and mailing it straight to your friend or family member.

You compose it, I send it

Let's face it, social distancing can be lonely. While we're all staying home and self-isolating, let me send greeting cards from you to your friends and family. This is also a way you can support my art while orders from stores are at a standstill.

FREE SERVICE: During this strange and stressful time, I will hand-write your message on any card you purchase through this site, then mail it to your recipient for free. This will reduce potential exposure to the Covid-19 virus—and they will get your card that much faster.

HOW IT WORKS: Browse my 80 card designs. Order up to eight different cards, then email me. For each card design, include the recipient’s full name, mailing address and the message you would like to send. Once I receive your order, I will hand-write your messages on the cards you have chosen, hand-address the envelopes, attach a cute frog stamp and mail them. I’ll enclose a business card that says, “sent directly from Makino Studios.”

SHIPPING: Your shipping cost includes hand-writing and addressing your cards and the $0.55 first-class stamp for each card. Shipping is $3.50 for up to four cards or $4.50 for five through eight cards. For domestic orders of $35 or more, use code FREESHIP35 at checkout for free shipping.

DETAILS: Cards are mailed via US first-class mail. Applies only to cards mailed to US addresses. Offer good through April 30. Limit eight cards addressed and mailed per order.

Take good care and stay safe, dear ones!
