The Problems a Notecard Subscription Box Can Solve

 A monthly notecards subscription can solve several problems you might have when it comes to buying cards. Here are a few:

1. Lack of Time to Shop for Cards: Many people struggle to find time to browse for the perfect card, especially during busy times of the year. A subscription provides a convenient solution by delivering a fresh set of beautifully crafted cards directly to their doorstep, saving them time.

2. Last-Minute Card Buying Stress: Last-minute shoppers often find themselves scrambling for the right card. A monthly subscription ensures that they always have a selection of cards ready when they need them for birthdays, holidays, or special occasions.

3. Not Finding Unique or High-Quality Cards: Generic, mass-produced cards don’t appeal to everyone. A subscription to handmade notecards provides unique, high-quality, and personalized options that reflect a customer’s taste and style, offering something special they can’t find in stores.

4. Forgetting to Send Cards: With the hectic pace of life, it’s easy to forget to send cards on important occasions. A subscription serves as a reminder and ensures customers are always prepared with the right card at the right time, helping them maintain thoughtful connections.

5. Limited Creativity or Inspiration for Card Writing: Sometimes people get stuck when it comes to writing meaningful messages. Receiving a monthly supply of diverse and artistically designed cards can spark inspiration and encourage more frequent, heartfelt correspondence.

This subscription can truly take the hassle out of card-sending while enhancing the personal touch you want to convey.

From Hobby to Etsy

 Do you ever wonder how Mynotecards came to be?

Today, I want to take you on a journey from the birth of our humble beginnings to what we are now.

Once upon a time my card making was just a hobby.

In fact I started out creating a lot of small watercolor paintings as a teenager. I had a collection of them They were never framed (what a shame) To me having all this creativity and drive to constanlty create seemed pointless if I wasn't going to share it with anyone.

What was the point of making all this stuff and sticking it in a notebook for no one to see.

In the meantime I grow to love letter writing and would spend time writing letters to cousins, friends and my penpal in the Netherlands

Finally in 1982 , long after those teen years were over,

I rediscovered my love of watercolor painting.

It was a way of relaxing after chasing a toddler and  attending to  new born all day.

I was a stay at home mom with no car and a husband that worked 14-16 hours a day 6 days a week.

My inability to travel to the card store to buy any cards caused me to make my own thank you

for the baby gift cards.

My aunt had gotten one of these cards and said she loved it and framed it

Then something amazing happened - we saw how much joy my notecards brought to people, and we decided to share it with the world!

And the rest is history!!!!

CARD DESIGNS AND STYLES

  

Depending on your message and the mood you want to convey, there are a variety of styles and designs you may be more prone to buying when you are picking up that special card.

I have chosen to briefly discuss 9 on them. 

Down below there are examples of  the 9 designs styles.

There is also photos down below .

Starting from the top row form left to right

you'll be able to see the examples.

 

1.Retro Vintage style that was popular during the 1950's⁠.

This design style reminds of my childhood

 

2. Abstract cards perfect for the true art lovers.

These types of cards can often be saved and framed by the recipient

 

.3 The Gothic style card often makes it's appearance around Halloween. However this style can be popular around valentines day because it often uses black sexy lace to make a statement.⁠

Often these cards have a "Moulin Rouge" vibe to them

 

4 The Mdern Contemporary style

is the one I am more prone to creating. ⁠

These cards are noted for being simple usually

one layer cards with not a ton of embellishments

.⁠

5.Art Deco, also called "Style Modern Movement"  in the decorative arts and architecture that originated in the 1920s

 

6 Steam Punk style! Steampunk is a retro futuristic style that is inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery.

It's a kind of grunge of the 1890's

 

7.Shabby Chic is a style noted by it's multiple layers of lace, flowers,ribbons and embellishments such as pearls and gems. Very pale pastel colors are used to create this very ornate look.

 

8.Rustic Style is a natural looking style usually made from kraft paper

.The illusion of real wood can sometimes give

that look together with fibers like burlap and twine.

 

 

9 Zentangle style is an abstract drawing created using repetitive patterns. Many of the Adult coloring books are zentangle designs.
