Our Story

Based in Minnesota, 4ever Notes Co. brings you stationery that is lettered with love and created to last. We hope to inspire you to write the message, send the card, and spread the joy.

It all began years ago (many years ago) when our creator Amanda Arndt was in high school and had discovered her love of writing. It was a love affair with poetry, to be specific, and dreams of someday having her own greeting card line started to manifest. Life happened, busyness set in, and these dreams stayed just that...dreams.

After the unexpected passing of her sister Stephanie in February of 2024, Amanda's whole world changed, and dreams that once glimmered were now given the chance to sparkle. 

4ever Notes Co. was created and inspired by the life of Stephanie, who never missed the opportunity to send Amanda a hand written note (as they lived in different states most of their adult lives). Birthday cards, Christmas cards, "Just Because" cards were all delivered to Amanda's mailbox marked with a stamp from Bayonne, NJ, where Stephanie was living. Every note always brought joy, inspiration, support and encouragement to Amanda as she read them. And now, more than ever, these handwritten notes are worth more than gold.

Our name is also very symbolic and tells a story: growing up it was Amanda, Steph, mom and dad. Just the 4 of them. After Stephanie's passing, Amanda had a tattoo done of a picture of the two of them, followed by a message that Stephanie had written in a card she sent years before. Stephanie's handwriting and message will last forever on Amanda's arm. We're obviously in the business of notes and stationery, but the music notes in our logo are inspired by Stephanie, as she was blessed with a wonderful singing voice. 

Amanda carefully designs each card and print with your sentiment in mind. Be sure to read the description of each item, as some pieces have been inspired by Stephanie's own art, writing and life's experiences. And just as Amanda still has the notes and letters Stephanie wrote to her over the years, it is the hope of 4ever Notes Co. that you will find the value in making your words last. Who knows, to someone, someday, they could be worth more than money can buy.
