A prayer card is the wallet card a parish hands out by the hundred: a prayer transcribed on one side, a name and two dates on the other, left blank on purpose. These nine cover three occasions in three printing traditions — engraved holy card, plain modern card, watercolour card. Ask for a different occasion and the same three traditions carry it.

  • a memorial service handout
  • a keepsake for a baptism
  • a first communion favor
  • a wallet or missal card
  • a parish office print run

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each card is drawn at standard prayer-card proportions (roughly wallet size) with an even margin, so it prints clean on cardstock and trims easily.
Can I get a different occasion, like an anniversary?
Yes — the direction field takes any occasion, and the same three printing traditions render it.
Why is the name panel left blank?
The blank panel is deliberate: a family or parish adds the name and dates by hand or by their own printer after the card is printed.
What's the difference between the three printing traditions?
The engraved holy card uses fine line work and a formal border; the plain modern card is a clean contemporary layout; the watercolour card sets the same prayer over a soft painted ground.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
