Can’t find greeting cards that live up to your design standards?
Check out Paper Culture, a new greeting card company co-founded by my friend and former MetaDesign colleague, Hui-ling Chen. The cards are modern, cute, and delightful. Best part, you can even personalize them with your own photos or text.
Right now, a majority of the cards are baby-oriented. But I expect to see a larger variety of different event cards once the business gets going.
Here are some more sample images:

Thanks for the great post.
I have a feeling that Hallmark will always exist though…

Hmm, I posted a comment earlier, but it never came through. Anyway, I wanted to say that these are very creative cards … from the photos, the paper quality also seems nice. I never shop at Hallmark .. usually go to Papyrus.

Very cute cards. I loved the intergalactic party card best. I think these could create quite a ripple. I don’t think we are quite ready to wave hallmark bye though ;)
Thanks for sharing, Gayathri.

It’s really not a sad goodbye to Hallmark, but eventually it makes us feel happy that their greeting cards are really adorable and beautiful. Hallmark will always be in our hearts. :)

Go for something with a bit of spark! Life is too short to be Hallmark.
I design and print cards too and the fact big commercial card companies call me too alternative for them is quite a compliment.
These cards (above) are restrained and elegant, well done! Best of luck with them. : )

I love going to hallmark around the holidays. Like for instance around Christmas, they have the little singing decorations and they are the only place I can find a decent deal on ” The Simpson’s” ornaments. We collect the Simpson ornaments for our tree and they are the only place we can find them. So I hope hallmark does stay around for good.
