Card Sales are Booming & We Create Our Own!

More people are buying and sending cards this year than before! Birthday cards have always been the top seller  - but now sympathy cards are big sellers too. We can't attend funerals like we used to and we can't give hugs - so mailing a card seems more important and necessary than ever. We want to send a heartfelt message - more than just a text or a facebook message - something tangible that can be held and read over and over again. Encouragement and thinking of you cards are increasing in sales too! We make a greater effort to connect with together —— this is an important time to do that Making a handmade card speaks to the effort the sender put into making it communicates along with the message - communicates how important that person is to you! Real cards are often saved for a long time —- how many of you have been going though boxes of parents belonging and come across cards & letters saved? Will you be doing that with a love ones Facebook in the future? Some say its because we engage different senses with a card - touch, smell, feel and sight -those make emotional triggers. You might put that card on display in your home too - and be reminded of that special relationship every time you see it.
