I have ten years of experience in the stationery industry, but my love and fascination of greeting cards started when I was a kid. As proof of this, I recently came across this Easter card I crafted from cut construction paper for my Grandmother back when I was 12. It's a multi-page card, depicting the various trials the Easter bunny had to endure in order to deliver this card. I even added a logo on the back, Aries, drawn with black marker. (Funny I chose Aries, considering I was a Virgo - I think I just wanted an excuse to draw a cute, stylized ram with curly horns.)
It's been over a year since I left Papyrus, and I miss creating cards. Just for kicks, I designed a few cards and uploaded them to one of those do-it-yourself print-on-demand sites that are becoming popular. The technology is phenomenal. It lets anyone create fun product and feature it on their own online store in a matter of minutes. Not too many cards up yet, I just started - but you can check out my Zazzle.com shop here.
More on cards and trends in future posts.
