Earth-friendly cards are here
Bare Cards UK has created a tri-fold, self-sealing greeting card that requires NO packaging and NO envelope! Designed to be repurposed as artwork, Bare Cards can eliminate the single-use waste associated with traditional cards. Printed in the U.K. on sustainable paper, their new Josephine Wall collection features a range of triptych and single-image cards with either black or white borders. See them in this month's issue of Greetings Today or on the Bare Cards website.

Visiting time!
I was delighted to have the opportunity to travel to England last month to meet my clients Karen Addison and Lesley Anne Ivory in person for the first time! Seeing Lesley Anne's original work up close, I was able to get a real appreciation for the fine details she's able to capture, sometimes using a brush that has only a single hair. Of course, I also made time to visit with Josephine Wall and her husband, Bob, during which time we also welcomed the owner/operators of "The
