Being a designer is a curse. Why? Because everything around you looks like crap. That includes menus, signs, websites, business cards, and worst of all, greeting cards. Go down the greeting card aisle in any drugstore, and you’ll soon be overloaded with banal cartoons, flowers, and kittens. And don’t even get me started on the typography.

So where can you find tasteful greeting cards that don’t gouge out the eyes?

Try these independent greeting card printers and designers. They won’t have the Hallmark crown on the back. But that’s a good thing.
