You can create greeting cards for any occasion, any celebration.

Whether you choose to celebrate the big moments or the small, blank greeting cards are perfect for sending those spur-of-the-moment “thinking of you” cards, announcing your upcoming nuptials to faraway friends in a way more meaningful than a text message, or even celebrating your child’s high school graduation.

  • Birthday cards
  • Get well wishes
  • Congratulations cards
  • Graduation
  • Wedding / Engagement
  • Birth announcements

You can sell your own art cards.

For artists and photographers, selling photo cards with drawings, paintings, or prints of their original work can be a great way to make money at art fairs or craft shows.

The beautiful thing about our photo insert cards is that they are made of high archival quality, acid-free paper stock. They are an inexpensive upsell at your booth, and can even be used as lightweight photo mats for framed 5×7 photographs or art prints.

Like the card, but want to add your name or logo? For an added charge, we’ll imprint your name or photography studio info in foil on the back cover of your photo cards.

Don’t forget to protect your investment; we also sell acid-free clear greeting card sleeves with an adhesive flap to seal and to protect your photo cards. They are the perfect packaging at art fairs, outdoor farmer’s markets, craft shows, and when selling on consignment.

It’s a fun card making activity for kids.

Let the kids in on the DIY card making fun, too! Set up a day where they can take their own photos of nature, their pets, themselves, (or any subject they choose) and print out their favorites to include in a few cards.  They can even draw on the inside cover and write a special message.

Photo cards made by kids are a great gift idea for the grandparents, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day. White mailing envelopes are included with your order so you can send your handmade cards out to friends, family, and teachers.

You can create personalized party favors and special event giveaways.

With custom imprinting, we can print a personalized message in your cards. They’re great for wedding thank you photo cards, summer camp mementos, donor and volunteer appreciation cards from fundraisers and non-profits, or customer appreciation cards.

Adding a short story—or even a simple quote—inside the card helps connect your customers to your brand and keeps you top of mind. Share a blurb about the specific impact of your fundraiser, and include a photo of an actual person (or animal) that their contribution helped.
