Thanks a Boatload | Thank You Card Set
Lobster boats are an unmistakable part of Maine’s coastal landscape. Their familiar silhouettes have become enduring symbols of the state’s working waterfront, representing a way of life that continues to shape communities up and down the coast.
We loved the lobster boat design and wanted to find a way to bring it into the thank-you collection. The phrase “Thanks a Boatload” felt like a natural fit. Like the lobstermen who work Maine's waters, the boat represents hard work and dependability—qualities that often inspire gratitude in the first place.
To create the card, we selected dark blue and green matte cardstock for the hull and trim, white cardstock for the cabin, and black cardstock for the windows and outline details. Fine-point black ink creates the penned “Thanks a Boatload” sentiment, giving it the look of a handwritten note.
The result is a note of appreciation that’s shore to delight.
