Looking for a Job in Card making.. What is out there?
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if any of you know what type of degree a person needs to get to work at American Grettings or Hallmark Card making company. I very much enjoy making card and think this might be a cool career. Are any of you in this business or know someone? Please let me know.
Thank you!
p.s. also wanted to ask if there any other card making companys out there and where are they located?

Quotes from Writers Write
“Looking over the cards in gift shops, one might think so. “Hey, I could have written this,” you tell yourself.” “There are three companies that command a staggering 85% of the marketshare; these companies being Hallmark, American Greetings and Gibson Greetings.” “Unfortunately, it is unlikely you will sell a freelance card idea to one of these big three companies in this industry. American Greetings and Hallmark do not accept unsolicited submissions and competition is fierce in the larger and higher paying markets. If you want a role in writing cards for these companies you might be better off considering a staff position at the company. Each of these companies’ websites contains job pages that you might consider watching if this is what you are interested in.”
