From lovely patterned domestic pets to abstract wild beasts and pretty flowers and even cards featuring keyboard keys ('I Could Really Use a Backspace Right Now' is the perfect apology card), they're all beautifully designed.īergen Place is named after the first street that designer Jane and her husband lived on together in Red Bank, New Jersey.
There are so many cards to choose from at American Greetings, for every occasion, that you can even find one to give to your favourite vegetarian.Īnimal Charm Designs is a greeting card and gift company that's mainly all about animals and nature-inspired designs and they are simply adorable. Its major brands of American Greetings, Carlton Cards, Papyrus and Recycled Paper Greetings can be found both online and in retail outlets all over the world, with something for every occasion, and often feature beloved characters like the Care Bears, Holly Hobbie and Strawberry Shortcake. What you may not know is that American Greetings are FSC-certified, something close to our hearts at Northern Cards too. Since being founded as a one-horse-cart operation way back in 1906, American Greetings has led the way with the creation and manufacture of many innovative social expression products, including cards, gift wrap, party goods and more recently with digital greetings. I have spent many enjoyable hours perusing what they have to offer and I hope you have just as much fun surfing their websites too. I am delighted to bring to you my following list of favourite US card publishers. When it comes to my favourites, both small, independent retailers (including Etsy sellers) and huge corporations feature, and I am equally attracted to both kinds and everything else in-between.
In one of my past articles, My Ultimate Guide to Canadian Greeting Card Companies, I had a blast writing about my favourite Canadian card publishers, ranging from Audities' Cards in Quebec to Regal Home & Gifts in Mississauga and Yellow Bird Paper Greetings in British Columbia. I also thoroughly enjoyed writing about my favourite UK companies across three articles in the recent past, too, in My Top 50 UK Greeting Card Publishers - Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 - including London's Deadpan Cards, Canterbury's Noel Tatt and The Great British Card Company, which is based in Gloucester. What I may have failed to mention at the time is that are so many other greeting card companies outside of Canada and the UK that I love as well, and for this article, I wanted to delve into my favourites that are based in the US.Īs you'd probably expect, what with the US having the monopoly on the greeting card business, and especially with having the most successful ones like Hallmark and American Greetings, there is an awful lot to choose between, but these are simply the ones with their own websites that I find to be my favourites - the businesses that I go to when I want a particular style of greeting card or ones that I know to have a great range of high-quality cards on offer online.
