About Postmarked

Postmarked was created by Christina, a lifelong card-sender with a soft spot for the little things that make people feel seen. She runs the brand from her home in Pittsburgh, with tech support from her husband Brad and supervision from their cat, Mini.

Christina has always believed in the power of a real card. The kind you hold in your hand. The kind that you keep coming back to. Not everyone knows what to say. But, with Postmarked, everyone can make someone feel special.

Our cards are sourced from independent artists and small creators, chosen for their quality, design, and character. Each card is printed, packaged, and mailed by our inky little assistant. Penelope definitely runs the show around here. She is powered by an AxiDraw machine, dark roast coffee, and a little sprinkle of Postmarked magic. She writes your messages with a real pen, seals envelopes with care, and gets into more than her fair share of mischief.

Postmarked is built on the belief that thoughtfulness should be easy to give and even easier to receive.
