Open when cards with 40 prompts, love notes and envelope wraps, 3x5 and 4x6

Open when cards let you leave someone you love a note for just the right moment. They are sized as true index cards, 3 x 5 in or 4 x 6 in, rather than full page letters, and you fill them in, wrap them and file them in a card box. Over 32 undated pages you get 40 numbered prompt cards, plus love notes, reasons I love you cards and blank notes, coordinating lined and dot backs, envelope wraps and dividers for the box, with crop marks throughout.

It arrives as an instant PDF download in US Letter and A4, with nothing shipped.

How open when cards make your words easy to give

Forty moments are covered, from lonely nights and sleepless ones to birthdays and days that call for a pep talk. Each prompt gets a card of its own with a number and a short, tender line, plus spaces for who it is for, who it is from and the day it was opened. You only write the message itself, on the lined reverse. The guide page has a checklist of every prompt, so you can see which notes are still waiting.

If you want to say even more, there are cards for love notes with gentle starters, numbered reasons I love you, and plain blank notes. Each envelope wrap fits a single card. Sort everything behind three dividers, one for unopened notes, one for love notes and one for the ones already read, and the box becomes a keepsake you will reread for years.

Who these love note cards are for

• Couples living far apart, or anyone about to be away for work, travel or deployment
• Friends saying goodbye to a best friend who is moving to a new city, starting college or a new job, with notes for every high and low
• Moms and dads who tuck small notes into a bag for camp, a class trip or a brave new start
• Anyone who wants a birthday, Valentine's Day or anniversary surprise to last well beyond the day itself

Design and printing

• A clean, elegant style with white pages and soft blush pink touches that use little ink
• Roomy margins on all sides, so your home printer will not trim anything
• Two exact trim sizes with crop marks: 3 x 5 in, about 7.6 by 12.7 cm, printed three per sheet, and 4 x 6 in, about 10.2 by 15.2 cm, printed two per sheet, on US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) or A4 (210 x 297 mm)
• No dates, so they suit any occasion in any year
• For two sided printing, flip along the long edge and the lined and dot grid backs match the fronts
