The high-quality notepads and cards from Black Ink showcase Maker Patti Black’s signature, classic style. Patti has her own custom stationery boutique that specializes in weddings, so she is the right person to nail the balance between function, quality, and looking fantastic.

The paper feels thick and smooth, and it’s Made in the USA. A page from a dense notepad can pull double duty by letting you move between to-do lists and writing letters. Fold a heavyweight sheet to fit into a standard envelope, and—voila! It’s now fine stationery. The note cards come envelope-ready, and they, like a dense notepad, make for a perfect, ready-to-go gift—for teachers, hosts, or friends—that will be reached for time and time again.
