Printed cards are boring. So we did something about it.
Scribble is a handwritten-card service that turns anyone into the artist behind the card. You design the inside. A handwriting robot writes it in real pen on real card stock. We post it for you.
Made by an art kid who couldn’t stop.
Scribble was started by Luke Emery, who had a problem with the inside of every card he’d ever bought: there was nothing in it. A pre-printed message and a blank space asking him to fill in the gap. He thought handwritten and hand-doodled cards were a much better answer — and that anyone should be able to make one, even if their handwriting looks like a doctor’s prescription.
Luke has been running art businesses for years. Before Scribble, he founded vanwoof.com and a number of other novelty-art ventures that have, between them, sold over 30,000 novelty pet portraits and other oddball pieces of art to customers around the world. His work has been featured on the BBC and across a range of news outlets covering the stranger corners of the internet.
Scribble is his next thing. The premise is simple: take the joy of handmade cards, combine it with a handwriting robot that actually nails the look of pen on paper, and put both in the hands of anyone with an internet connection. You don’t have to be an artist to send a card that feels like it came from one.
Three things, mostly.
Real beats printed.
Pen on paper, every time. No fonts pretending to be handwriting. No fake-looking flourishes. Real ink, real card stock, real envelope.
Anyone can be the artist.
500+ doodles to drag in. 30+ handwriting styles to choose from. A freehand canvas for your own scribbles. You don’t need to draw to make something worth keeping.
The post is part of the gift.
We stuff. We stamp. We mail. They open a real envelope and hold a real piece of paper that someone real (well, mostly) made just for them.
