I'm afraid JKR has said that this can't be the case. Taking this
from JKR's webiste, rumour section:
"The Order of the Phoenix communicates using chocolate frog cards
"This is such a great idea that I was in two minds whether to shoot
it down; however, *a chocolate frog card, or any object that would
have to be remembered and carried on the person, would always be
vulnerable to loss, destruction or trickery*. The Order communicates
in a way that requires *nothing but a wand*. You saw the Order's
method of communication in use even before you knew about the
existence of the Order; it was employed by an Order member."
