Cat Greeting Cards from The Paper Cats, Cards that are ART!

I have said this a zillion times and I will say it for the zillion and ONE time, one of the MANY things I love about blogging are the talented people I am blessed to meet along the way.

A few weeks back, an auction was held for "The Baby" from The Katnip Lounge, and I was the incredibly LUCKY, highest bidder of greeting cards that were created by Lisa-Lin from the blog:

I must have been living under a rock, because I had never known about Lisa's blog until the auction! Now I am not only thrilled to have made a new friend, but I am EXTRA THRILLED to have learned about Lisa's  beautiful shop on Etsy:

From Lisa's shop:Welcome to The Paper Cats--a place for the cat lover you know and/or the cat lover in YOU.Once upon a long ago time, before e-mail even existed, and postage stamps were just 8 cents, my life was in a small Iowa town, I had 50 pen pals all over the world. My favorite spot was a drawer stashed with stationery. The two best presents my parents could surprise me were a Nancy Drew mystery and a box of new stationery--especially if a cat graced it. I loved which paper to use for each pen pal. My love of cats continues to evolve on other items--and stay tuned to The Paper Cats!

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?

I RECEIVED 18 CARDS!!!

There were 5 different styles

Lisa's cards are so beautiful and are made on such superb quality card paper, that to me, they qualify for ART, rather than just greeting cards. I am hoping that I can bring myself to use them!!!  I just might have to frame one of each type and then send the rest. Brilliant idea if I do say so myself!!!

THANKS SO MUCH LISA AND I AM THRILLED TO HAVE MET YOU!!!

No More Store Bought Cards For Me! Not Since I Found Greeting Card Universe!

I was first contacted by a lovely woman from Greeting Card Universe back in September. Before I visited their site I was skeptical, that didn't last long. After one visit, I was sold!

When I first agreed to do a review of their cards I was given the opportunity to select five free greeting cards. Four of these in this photo were what I selected. I chose the Holiday Card Category featuring Cats because whenever I would search in the stores for holiday cards that featured cats,  they were few and far between.

When the cards arrived I was so pleased that when it came time to order my Jewish New Year cards, rather than purchasing cards from the store, I chose to order my custom cards through Greeting Card Universe! Those were selected and purchased by me.

Also, when I first agreed to do a review of their cards I was not an affiliate for Greeting Card Universe. Guess what? As of Sunday, I am! I chose to become  an affiliate because I am more than satisfied with the selection of cards, the number of various card categories, the quality and the price. (If you wish to purchase any cards check out the widget on my side bar.)

I had become tired of purchasing cards at mainstream venues such as drug stores and grocery stores. My husband and I had a running joke of seeing how many cards we could purchase each year that were  duplicates of what we had given each other in the past!!
Thankfully those days are long gone!

You can "find any card imaginable!" on Greeting Card Universe. You can search or click through their categories. You can buy your cards "as is" or customize your cards with your own photos, verses, etc.
