A snail mail club celebrating community, creativity, and self-care.

A 4 × 6 inch hand-printed greeting card made using the linocut printing technique. Each design is carved, inked, pressed by hand, and inspired by the month’s mental wellness theme. The card is printed on cardstock and left blank inside, ready to be mailed, shared, or saved as a small piece of art. Envelope is included!
-
A hand-folded, eight-page black-and-white mini booklet featuring creative contributions from members of the Cartas & Care Cub community. Contributions may include short poems, photographs, affirmations, drawings, reflections, or other small creative works.
Members can submit their work through our Submit page for a chance to gift one free month of Cartas & Care Club to a friend.
Please note: Until member submissions are received, the community zine will feature original creative work by the founder.

A small reflection card holding three intentional prompts inspired by the month’s mental wellness theme. Designed to invite self-reflection and gentle conversation, it becomes a ritual you can return to whenever life (or a friend!) calls.

Meet Our Founder, Yaz
Hello, I’m Yaz!
I’m a poet and photographer born and raised in Dallas, TX — shaped by Mexican and Southern traditions, and deeply rooted in community.
I’m also the oldest of eleven, which means I’ve spent much of my life holding space for others — and learning, slowly, how to hold space for myself too.
Cartas & Care Club began as a way to share what has sustained me: writing, creating, and quiet moments of care. Each month, I send thoughtfully curated envelopes — filled with paper goods containing poems, photographs, and reflections — as an invitation to take a breath and come back to yourself.
My hope is that with every letter, you’re reminded that you are not alone — that you matter — and that somewhere out there, someone else is unfolding the same envelope, sitting with the same words, and finding their way home too.
One carta at a time.
