Gourd Out Notecard

From Note to Glow
A playful ode to autumn, the Gourd Out Notecard captures the warmth of the season through paper and light. Each card is paper-cut in our East Hampton studio to reveal softly marbled suminagashi paper—an ancient Japanese technique where ink drifts across water to form organic, tide-like veining. When paired with a tealight, the pumpkin silhouette transforms into a softly glowing lantern that celebrates the harvest season’s charm.

A Pumpkin, Reimagined
Crafted in a rich pumpkin hue, this notecard brings a touch of fall warmth to any setting. The cut-out Gourd Out lettering adds a playful twist to its timeless form, while the marbled paper backing ensures that no two cards are ever alike—each pattern a reflection of ink, water, and hand.

Artisan-Made and Ready to Gift
Every card includes a blank interior liner for your personal note and an embossed CEDAR Y SAND envelope, presented in our signature packaging. To illuminate the card as a lantern, simply pair it with our Autumn Glow Tealight—sold separately—to create a flickering centerpiece or cozy accent for your autumn tablescape. Whether given as a note of gratitude or paired with seasonal blooms or wine, it’s a thoughtful gesture of handmade artistry.

Part of the Suminagashi Paper Series
The Gourd Out Notecard continues our Suminagashi Paper Series, where floating ink meets hand-cut form. Each piece merges Japanese marbling tradition with modern silhouette design—a reminder that every gesture, like every pattern, carries its own rhythm and light.
