Strength Cards
I won't talk them up, although I will say that these are a tool I use all the time and find extremely useful, not only in my personal life but also in my counselling practice with both kids and adults. We've also had some fantastic feedback from both professionals and individuals saying how great they've been.
Here's what people are saying about Strength Cards:
“I LOVE the strength cards, as soon as I received them I had so many ideas how they can be used. My students, family and myself will all benefit immensely from these inspirational cards. Thank you for creating such a powerful tool to help build strength and confidence”
“Thank you so much for these cards! As a creative I feel much more motivated to use them as they are stylish and look cool unlike a boring black and white book or sheet of paper. They sit on my bedside table and every few nights I reflect on a few cards. Very smart and useful idea :D”
“I wish to thank you so much for making these simple little treasure messages available . It is amazing how one little word can bring back the positive thoughts in times of doubt. They are definitely a valuable addition to my tool bag of knowledge and tricks :)”

With these cards you no longer have to rely on analytical thinking to find your strengths and qualities to work on. The designs are carefully crafted to reflect each strength and the luscious 350gsm card with soft cello glaze finish means they are also tactically beautiful to handle.
By using great design, relatable colours and a gorgeous tactile experience means more parts of the mind are triggered leading to a much more impacting and meaningful experience.
YOU’LL ALSO FIND THEM EXCELLENT FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL USE
- Luscious, thick 350GSM card stock
- Celloglazed surface front and back makes them feel really nice to touch and use
- We've found that the 50mm chrome ring is the best size to keep them bound together well yet loose enough to be practical.
- Portable business card size for use anywhere, whether in the office, on the bedside table or even in your bag.
