During the pandemic when in-store shopping was not an option, many discovered that the  convenience of browsing and ordering greeting cards online was a less expensive and more enjoyable experience.   I've been creating greeting cards through Greeting Card Universe since 2015 and recently added more than a dozen new cards  for 2024.  It's still exciting to be able to send my cards to friends and family and see my art so professionally reproduced on greeting cards.  It took a while to understand the card designing process but the helpful GCU team patiently helped me through the many scripting, classifying and problematic image issues that often came up during the submission procedure.  As a result, I've gradually become a better artist and more able to identify designing flaws that may have otherwise gone unnoticed. If you have never ordered online greeting cards through Greeting Card Universe, you can watch their video to see for yourself as to just how easy it is.  You can

If you've never participated in a Secret Pal activity, you've been missing out on the fun and joy of reaching out to others.  Whether it's the elderly lady down the street, a co-worker, a friendship group or social networking acquaintance, it's a great way to bring smiles and curiosity to someone's life.  Many believe it involves leaving anonymous gifts for someone to discover, but in most cases an unexpected card in the mailbox may be all that is needed to let someone know you are thinking of them.  I've just added 13 new Secret Pal greeting card designs to my online card shop hosted by Greeting Card Universe you'll want to check out.  Best of all, you can have them mailed for you if worried about the local postmark giving away your identity.  The easiest way to find my cards is to click the image below and type "Secret Pal" into the store search.  All the cards will pop up with descriptions and prices.  As an added bonus, you can also personaliz

I hadn't stocked up my home supply of greeting cards for almost a year and it really irked me to purchase 3 cards from my local department store while shopping for groceries.  The cost of the cards was twice the amount I normally pay for my own designer cards and they were smaller, printed on thin cardstock and the inside verses were rather trite.  So I went home, checked my events calendar and remaining card stash, sat down to my computer with a cup of coffee and ordered enough cards to see me through a year of upcoming events.  Best of all, I could personalize the inside verses and many of the card fronts for free.  Since I ordered a quantity of cards, shipping was free and I took advantage of card pricing.  Not only are the 5"x7" card printed on high quality card stock with a glossy finish, they are also perfect for framing and crafting.  You'll often find discount promo codes on sites like RetailMeNot for additional savings that can be applied at the checkout.  My
