Autumn Cottage Card: Happy New Home Greeting Card

Autumn Cottage Card shows “HAPPY NEW HOME” in bold capitals above a small pink cottage, and those words speak straight to anyone who has just moved in. The scene feels settled and welcoming, the way a first evening in a new place can. It is made for friends, family and couples who are starting over in a home they can call their own.

Ships with a kraft envelope; envelope color in photo may vary.

The print at a glance

A small pink cottage sits at the center of the card, its walls soft and its roof a deep charcoal. Two chimneys rise from the roofline, and six white-framed windows and a white arched door give the house a friendly face. A pale cream path curves from the front step down to the bottom edge, inviting the eye to follow it into the picture.

Around the house, tall trees stretch up in shades of golden yellow, ochre and sage green. Their bare branches are drawn in thin dark lines, which gives the forest a delicate, hand-painted look. Low shrubs and small flowering plants fill the foreground in rust, coral and muted green, so the autumn season feels present at every edge of the card.

The lettering across the top is a clean, spaced-out sans serif in near-black, set against a warm cream background. Its simple shape balances the busy trees below. Together, the words and the cottage make a quiet picture of a home waiting for its first visitors.

Who it is for

The people most likely to notice this card first are the ones who have just moved. A friend who has rented their first apartment, a sibling who has bought a house, or a couple settling into a home after a long search will all read the words and recognize the moment immediately. The cozy cottage gives them a picture of the place they are building.

You can also send it to someone who is helping with the move, or to a neighbor who is new on the street. It works just as well when the new home is a small flat as when it is a country cottage, because the message is about the fresh start rather than the size of the house. Anyone who loves autumn scenery will feel the seasonal warmth in the trees.

Occasions to use it

A housewarming visit is the natural moment for this card. Tuck it in with a small plant or a bottle of something for the kitchen, and it becomes part of the welcome. It also fits a moving-day message, sent the day the truck pulls away, so the new arrivals find it waiting when they walk in.

You might also send it a few weeks after the move, once the boxes are unpacked and the new routine has settled. A card like this reads as a warm check-in for someone who has had a busy season of change. Autumn itself makes a good time to send it, since the golden trees match the feeling of settling in before winter.
