Love! Love! Love!Valentine’s season is our favorite time of year here at Waterknot! We love helping people spread the love. To that end we have just added 15 new love-themed cards. That means we now have 41 ways to say “I love you” on Valentine’s Day.
Our new Love Brand collection brings together delicious treats of all kinds with a whimsical play on package design. We’ve also added new love cards to our Coffee, Outdoor Adventure, Retro Romance and Music collections.
As always, our line includes some great Thank You cards and Birthday cards for guitar enthusiasts, outdoor adventurers, gardeners, nature lovers and lovebirds with a soft spot for days gone by. We also have some great cards for kids.
As you look through the catalog please keep an eye out for the 2 icons below to help you find new and popular styles:
Brand new design! Our best-selling styles!
Treading lightly on the earth and taking care of each other is paramount for us at Waterknot. That is why we only print on 100% post consumer recycled paper. Our envelopes are 100% recycled (80% post consumer) and our clear sleeves are made of a plant-based compostable plastic. We also donate at least 1% of the sales of our cards to organizations working for sustainability, peace and social justice. In other words, you and your customers can feel great about buying our cards.
Please have a look through the catalog and feel free to send us an email or give us a call if you have any questions. When you are ready to place an order just let your rep know.
Thanks for your time. We look forward to working together.

About our Letterpress printed cArdsOur cards feature original art, design and writing by Josh Nusbaum and Jenn Pagliaro. Each card is created to be a treasured keepsake. To that end, we mix most of our inks by hand and use only extra-heavy cover stock (at least 120lb.). Each card is printed, one at a time, on our 106-year-old Chandler and Price letterpress. It’s a labor of love and you can see and feel the difference.
All cards are blank inside and measure 4.5” x 6.25” (A6). Every card comes with a beefy kraft paper envelope and a retail-ready compostable clear sleeve. All cards wholesale for $2.50 each.

PLaCeS We Love
Urban farming, bike riding, craft brewing, great wine and locally-roasted coffee help define subcultures far and wide. Great for the tourist and locavore alike. Make it your own. This card can be customized with a minimum order of 48 cards.*
*Please allow 3 weeks for initial customization. Re-orders will be filled per our usual 1-2 week lead time.
This card celebrates the many bridges that help define our home town of Portland, Oregon. If there are specific places or landmarks in your area that you think would make great cards, let us know — we’re always happy to give you a quote for a custom project.

GuitarS & muSiC (Birthday)
A guitar-player’s guitar says almost as much about that person as the music they play. Whether acoustic or electric, made for blues or rock, each guitar has its own voice, style and charm. These cards say happy birthday to jazz cats and metal heads alike.
