Boxed Cards

You know what it’s like...

You’ve got a special day coming up. A shop card just isn’t ’special’ enough. You want something they’ll remember - and keep, or better still, treasure.

No problem! Why not ask me to make a special card designed with them in mind? They’ll appreciate the care you’ve taken and it doesn’t cost the earth.

If you would like something special for a special someone or for a special occasion - we can produce a 3D collage card with a selection of items that relate to the recipient and make the card special for them. Perhaps they cook a lot, like gardening, watch a lot of films, collect things or do up classic cars - just give us the clues and we will create a 3D montage for you and create a card that is also a delightful gift they will want to treasure. A confection of tiny elements that are personal to them, or simply a beautiful card.

The card is presented in a paper lined card box with a lid featuring a personalised name panel

Prices start at £15 (excluding postage & packing) - about the same price as a small bouquet but this will mean so much more and last so much longer!

Details from Worldpay:
Online transactions
Security is probably one of the most significant concerns for both the shopper and the retailer during an online transaction. In reality an online transaction is probably more secure than a card transaction in a shop or conducted over the telephone or by fax, as the information transmitted online is highly encrypted using complicated logarithm combinations.

The WorldPay payment system uses a combination of both established and innovative techniques to ensure the security and integrity of all sensitive data. Furthermore, our public web servers are certified by Thawte, a public Certificate Authority, ensuring that both the shopper and retailer can have confidence that nobody can impersonate WorldPay to obtain confidential information.

Transaction Encryption
The transfer of the purchase details from the retailers site to Worldpay are encapsulated using our own encrypted and digitally-signed protocol. This uses a combination of standard methods such as PGP, RSA and MD5 to ensure that the information passed is secure and tamper-proof. Security for the Shopper Any communication between the shopper and WorldPay is also encrypted to the maximum strength supported by the shopper's browser using TLS or 128 Bit SSL.

Shopper are also protected from fraudulent use of their card in a "card not present" environment, by their card issuers. The card issuers provides the right for shopper to dispute a transaction if the goods/services did not arrive or if the card was used fraudulently.

Data Storage
Data storage on WorldPay systems, and the communication between WorldPay and the worldwide banking networks, is regularly audited by the banking authorities to ensure a secure transaction environment. We also ensure that we stay up-to-date with the latest versions of any third-party code we use, and continually review our own proprietary code.

Product design
As most of our designs are made by hand, not machine, a certain amount of variation is to be expected and this is part of the charm.
No two pieces are ever exactly alike, although we aim to make them as consistent as possible.

Although every care is taken to ensure products offered on this site are of a high standard, Black Mouse makes no judgements, claims or guarantees regarding products which are produced by third parties and offered for sale via this site. Your statutory rights are not affected.

Should these goods prove unsatisfactory however, they should be returned to Black Mouse in original condition (see returns below) for replacement or refund.

Substitutions
We try to be as consistent as possible, but it is sometimes necessary to use alternative materials depending on availability at the time. Black Mouse reserves the right to substitute items of similar or higher value, where appropriate, should the need arise. We always ensure that the design is not compromised in any way.
On bespoke orders, you would be advised of any availability issues and offered alternatives or the option to cancel.

Quotes are fixed for a period of 30 days. A new quote can then be issued if required. Delivery is not included in any prices and is charged separately.

You may add or change your ideas while a design (not production) is in progress - such is the nature of the design process.

Changes while a production order is in progress may incur extra charges and prolong the production time.
