So much to say and so less time – if this is the line that describes you; rest assured that you are not alone. Years and years of forgotten birthdays, missed anniversaries, angry girlfriends and last minute card shopping are now considered as things of the past. The concept of online greeting card has changed all that!
The arrival of the internet had already revolutionized the method of communication. When was the last time you sent a ‘letter’ to someone? In an age of males and females sending only emails – the arrival of the online greeting card is like an added bonus. Suddenly a whole new world of communication was available right there at your fingertips. Now, expressing emotions that you always felt but could never put into words was really convenient and tailor-made to fit your needs and that too with just the click of your mouse.
There are many card making companies that have come up with a card for every occasion starting from cradle to the grave situations. But soon the convenience of having a card for every occasion was also not enough – thanks to the extremely busy lifestyle of today. People then wanted solutions that would snugly fit into the limited time budget of their hectic timetables. Online greeting card went a step further and delivered the solution right onto their laps! Now the need to make time and physically go to a gift shop and browse through array of greetings cards was eliminated for the people faced with a severe time and energy crisis. The online greeting card had arrived.
Overnight many websites cropped up to meet the increasing demand of the online greeting card. The websites not only provide a vast range of occasions and emotions to choose from but also have additional features that add to the charm. The features include the option of ‘creating’ an online greeting card and having the luxury of instructing the website to automatically mail the card at a predetermined date and time. Now forgetful Joneses have one excuse less – the ‘I forgot to mail your card’ excuse! You can now keep an online greeting card ‘ready’ with the receiver’s name, address and time of delivery even months in advance. Rest assured that your ‘card’ will reach exactly in time to wish your spouse on her birthday, even if you don’t!
The really creative ones with no talent for say, drawing, also have a field day with the online greeting card. You can customize your card starting from the background and text colors, right down to the last full stop at the end of your text. Further the animated greeting card provides an added dimension to your creativity. Depending on your relationship with the recipient, the card message could be put across in a naughty, fun, mushy, wicked or simply sarcastic way with added audio visual effects to enhance the joyous experience of receiving a card.
The popularity on the online greeting card has reached to such an extent, that many computer users can be found browsing through various websites of greeting cards – even without the need of sending a card. The online greeting card has become a source of humor, jokes, quotations and a virtual library of ‘emotions put across in the right way’. As it continues to play the role of bonding relationships in the most creative and convenient way – the online greeting card is definitely here to continue being an important part of our relationship management efforts.

If you aren't sure where to start, I really, really recomend the book "Artists and Graphic Designer's Market." I included a link to this year's copy. It not only has suggestions for how to submit, but addresses to every greeting card company in America as well as the guidelines for submitting to each. Be warned, though, they're really selective. My boyfriend and I each submit to dozens of things a year, and only every once in a while do our submissions get accepted. The bottom line, though, is to keep trying. If your work at it hard enough and if your art is good, you'll make progress.
Caed stock is available at Staples, Ofiice Depot, WalMart and stationary stores in a variety of sizes. You may be able to find the ones for cd's with holiday themes there too. I found them at Staples for the cd's I'm giving as gifts.
Try Vistaprint, iPrint, Zazzle
Good luck with the greeting cards.
Hi:
You might try to find examples on HGTV and DIY's websites. I don't think there is an individual card making show, but I know I've seen spots on Carol Duvall and other craft shows that have cards made from various materials including die-cuts, cardstock, fabric, rubber stamps, and many other unusual items. I make my own holiday cards from my pastel paintings that I take digital images from and then print them out on usually Strathmore deckle edge cards, and use vellum envelopes to mail them.
Hope this helps and gets you started.
Great talent Der Mann.
You’re really good man. You’ve got excellent talent.
Excellent work. Pleasure to watch. Perfect music

i have then stored away like you do. Some people would say throw them away, but when you read them they bring back fond memories, which are priceless….perhaps some day you would sort them out, it is a personal choice really
Incredible! He looks so life like. Just amazing…and what a beautiful subject
Nice work, you did pretty good.
Hallmark sells a package of blank greeting cards that's 85 lbs. You can buy it at Hallmark or from various stores online.
I have encountered people using e-bay before. Try it.
You don't need a factory. Just contract a reduced rate with a printing company to handle your designs in low volume with the hope of increasing business as yours grows. In slow economic times like these, you can negotiate great deals like this. That frees you to spend more time on designs and distribution. Not a bad idea right now so go for it.
whoa!!it looks like a PICTURE!
ur an amazing painter!:D
*sub*
You'll have to look around to find them, but there is a charity that accepts greeting cards
