Hi, I'm Janine!
Kwohtations is proudly a woman + Asian-owned business.
I started making cards to address the real-life ups and downs that so many of us experience, but don't always talk about. My cards are for those of us who sometimes feel alone or "other" in some way, and my hope is that they bring a smile (or laugh) of recognition and a feeling of being seen.
I believe in creating meaningful goods with intention—I print each card one-at-a time on an antique printing press, and then paint in all colors by hand, so each card is unique. Like you.
Printed on heavy cardstock, I actually have it standing on a wooden base. The message is truth and at the same time makes me snort-laugh when my eyes land on it. Packed with care and love.

If you've ever experienced a loss, these cards get the gamut of emotions you feel. A card you never want to have to send, but perfect for if you do.

The best stickers, hands-down. I love sprinkling these throughout my planner! Super high quality, and I love that they’re transparent. Thank you!

This is a high quality item. 👌 Honestly, it's more robust than any store-bought card I've ever held in my hands, which is appreciated because I have a feeling it will be read and re-read many times due to the lovely message.
