From Note to Glow
Crafted by CEDAR Y SAND in our East Hampton studio, this autumn set celebrates the season’s warmth through paper, light, and traditional craft. Each notecard is hand-cut to reveal softly marbled suminagashi paper—an ancient Japanese technique where ink drifts across water to form delicate, tide-like veining. When illuminated, the patterns come alive, transforming a simple card into a gentle lantern of shifting light and texture.
A Season, Cut and Carved
The duo pairs two autumn silhouettes: a pumpkin-colored “Gourd Out” design and a butternut-toned “Fallin’” leaf motif. Together, they capture the playful spirit of the harvest season—one bold and rounded, the other airy and organic. No two marbled backings are ever alike; each carries its own rhythm of ink and water, echoing the quiet motion of falling leaves and glowing gourds.
Artisan-Made and Gift-Ready
Each card includes a blank interior liner for personal notes and embossed CEDAR Y SAND envelopes, presented in a kraft box with two LED tealights (batteries included). Thoughtfully designed for sharing gratitude and warmth, this set makes a perfect host gift—simply write your message, return the cards to their box, and present it as a gesture of thanks. Once received, the host can display both cards as softly glowing lanterns across their tablescape. Pair with an autumn bouquet or a favorite bottle of wine for a gift that is both personal and luminous.
Part of the Suminagashi Paper Series
This lantern card set continues our exploration of Suminagashi—where the floating ink process meets hand-cut form. Each piece merges traditional Japanese marbling with modern silhouette design, blending the quiet art of paper with the spirit of the season. A small reminder that warmth can be written, sent, and shared in light.

FAQ
FAQ
Q: Can I actually mail these cards?
A: Yes. The kraft box that holds the set is designed to be a mailing box. Simply remove the jute string and hang tag, add your address label, and it’s ready to send as a thoughtful gift by post.
Q: How do the lantern cards work?
A: To illuminate, place the lit LED tealight between the opened notecard—positioned in front of the interior liner and behind the cut-out front of the card. The marbled paper will softly glow through the design, turning your card into a flickering lantern perfect for an autumn tablescape or evening display.
