Good Impressions:

"Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Love more, and all good things will be yours" -Swedish proverb

Small, intimate letterpressed cards (not much bigger than a calling card) with 4 word phrases taken from the above Swedish proverb. The blank cards are meant for giver to write a note to the recipient, and kept as a keepsake by the recipient.

I imagine the cards being blind debossed (example above) with the phrases. A possible border or edge treatment might be considered as well.

I see the size being similar to these "just a thought mini notes". 32 2"x3.5" notes for $12.

By using a blind deboss, the message would keep it's intimate and subtle quality while not taking away from the hand-written note to the recipient. Additionally I see the texture of the deboss as something that can be rubbed—like worry stones. Something to keep idle hands busy during times of needed encouragement. A colored edge would allow the card to be easily found in a wallet.
