Ahh, the look on the face of our benevolent cover bear says it all, doesn’t it?! As the new Passages card reads, “Wishing you a day of pure pleasure … whatever you do, wherever you roam. Happy Birthday” While our world may not be out of the woods quite yet, all of us in this industry can feel very good about the part we continue to play in it. As cardies tell us every day, cards and expressive little gifts like magnets and art prints have never been more important to them.

They count on us to continually provide them with new kind and clever and consoling ways to reach out to connect with and support each other. Or, as more than one cardie has put it, “Sending one of your cards feels like sending an envelope full of big bear hugs.”

Let's meet the many challenges our businesses face with a sure sense that what we do matters. We loved how Cardie Ann John put it so graciously, “New Babies. Birthdays. Graduations. Weddings.

Anniversaries. Life Challenges. Serious Illnesses. I walk over to If It’s Paper here in Columbia, SC, look through the Cardthartic section and soon have the perfect cards for all my people. Thank you for making my life easier and always making me look like the great friend that I aspire to be.”

Onward & upward!

“I really appreciate the way you folks conduct your business and it makes me very happy to be carrying your cards. Many blessings.”

Kathy Kopfer The Sea Trader, Gualala, CA

“Cardthartic has its heart and passion so firmly rooted in bringing heartfelt sentiments to the consumer.

You make my day!”

A NOTE ABOUT

Alas, our Pretty Words line was not producing the pretty sales we anticipated for all involved, so we did not include it in this Big Book 2022.

Because the cards, art prints, magnets, and boxed notes did turn well for some retail partners, those products will be available on cardthartic.com while inventory remains.

As we once heard a Gatorade executive sagely say, “Sometimes the juice just ain’t worth the squeeze.” On we go!

MBD #94057 FAMILY BIRTHDAY

BELOVED MAMA and CUBS Mother and daughter Rosemary Tolliver and Jenni Betz (far right) have authored 22 popular Cardthartic cards so far. So how cool that sister Kate Shelley has taken up card writing, too!

MBD #93809

MOTHER’S BIRTHDAY

and even luckier that you showed me how to be a mom.

Happy Birthday

•

A nurse as well as mom to two wee ones, Kate is surely busybusybusy, yet she found a quiet moment to email Rosie and Jenni, “The baby didn’t let me sleep last night, so today I was channeling you both a lot. Here’s a sentiment for a card you guys should make: ‘My kids are lucky to have you as a grandmother, and even more lucky that I had you as an example for a mom.’”

My kids are lucky to have you as a grandmother …

Replying to Kate and copying Jenni, Rosie wrote, “I watch you both as mothers and wish I had been as loving and wise for you!” Jenni responded, “Mom, you were / are the best.”

She then forwarded the whole loving thread to Cardthartic, hehe, without copying Mom or Kate, so the new Mama Bear and Cub Mother’s Birthday card 94057 could come as a complete and lovely surprise to the women Jenni loves and admires most :) We recommend Jenni’s betzfamilycolumbus.blogspot.com every chance we get because it’s full of her beautiful musings about this remarkable family.

“Crazy busy,” Jenni wrote, “is a tempting armor, but we shouldn’t be so far out in front of life that the truth of how we’re feeling — what we really need — can’t catch up with us. Huddling close and holding hands, taking walks and taking naps, and trying to make it all easier for one another when we can.” Keep on, Jenni! Well done, Rosie! Yay for you, Kate!

Mom, there really are no words ...

for just how much I love you.

WEDDING SHOWER

NO BET TER FEELING Wedding design 94041 above came from the loving life experience of Cardie Sherry Schultz. “Back in 2020, I learned that Cardthartic accepted proposed messages from the Cardie Community,” Sherry explained, “and my words just flowed onto the submission form.

WEDDING

Cardie Sherry Schultz with inspiring husband Gary

•

“I suggested the message, ‘There is no better feeling in the world than knowing your best friend will forever be by your side’ because that is exactly how I feel about my husband. And when Cardthartic’s Creative Team reached out to say they loved the message and sent me the proposed photo of a couple bikeriding, I said, ‘Wow, that is perfect! My husband and I would both tell you that our favorite thing to do together is ride bikes!’

“I believe gratitude is the most important expression of all that is good in life. It captures the love you feel for that special human, the compassion you have when they are hurting, the relief when help has arrived. Even when someone has lost a loved one and is feeling immense grief and sorrow… a card can help them also feel gratitude for having had that loved one in their life.

“Having just celebrated our 40th year together, Gary really is my best friend. In fact, the biggest card surprise I ever received was when my husband made up his own words for me in a card. He captured his thoughts so beautifully that I had to get out the Kleenex. Sometimes, the right card just fills you with emotion ”

LIT TLE ALTARS EVERYWHERE In the Fall of ’17, Cardie Donna Hopkins emailed us to say she’d discovered our cards in our retail partner, Mongrel, in Richmond, VA. “Wondering if any of my photographs might be a good match for your cards. Worth a look, I hope.”

Donna didn’t mention that she is as powerful a writer as she is photographer.

The angel on 94063 is the second of Donna’s images we’ve published and, to date, we’ve published six messages she penned. On donnamhopkins.com you’ll see more of Donna’s talent at play, including this story she agreed to let us share with you from her Little Altars Everywhere series. Donna writes so poignantly:

“On long days when it seemed all I did was travel back and forth to sit by my mother’s side, to the hospital or nursing home, I found solace and comfort in my photography practice. Whether coming or going, I took the long way. Driving slowly. Taking different, less direct routes.

Weaving along side streets, up one and down the next. Stopping the car, getting out. Walking aimlessly along sidewalks, through neighborhoods, treading gently on garden and forest paths.

All those seeds of love she scattered …

“At first, I simply took pictures of things that interested me, things I loved. But, as the days turned into weeks and then months, I began to see the whole of this experience, and what I’d been seeking ... little altars everywhere.

“Created during the heart-wrenching season when my mother began her downward spiral, these photographs saved me. My mother has dementia. The added trauma of a broken hip and surgery became the catalyst for a cascade of health issues that sent her quality of life plummeting.

We can’t find the words to match our sadness ...

“With each press of the shutter, I offered up my prayers. ‘Please let her come home. End her suffering.’

CARDIE FOR LIFE “Back in 2019, while on vacation in Ashland, OR, I saw Cardthartic cards, fell in love, and bought several of them. Two days later, I received word that a former co-worker had died unexpectedly. One of the cards I had purchased shows a garden chair with a hat and shawl on it and reads, “She …” and, on the inside, “was quite a lady.” The card could not have been more perfect. It is understated while powerful, and full of heart and soul, conveying the very essence of someone so precious and now gone.

“In a world full of technology and social media, we seem to have lost a bit of the personal touch. I love nothing better than sitting down and writing a note and sending it to someone I love. It feels like someone got right inside of my heart and wrote so many of Cardthartic’s cards. They are simple, beautiful, and express exactly what needs to be said. Heart and soul, I am a cardie for life!”

INSPIRATION The lovely new card to the right is dedicated To The Queen of Kindness, Dr. Marie Denise Gervais. What an inspiration she is! Even more amazing than her ability to practice medicine in five languages is her love for her fellow man. For no matter how up-toher-beautiful-eyeballs she may be with her patients in underserved communities or her medical students at the University of Miami, Marie Denise always makes time to reach out and be so very kind. See her cardie profile on cardthartic.com.

With her camera, she beautifully captures those blink-of-the-eye moments that the rest of us miss, like the cat contortionist here. :) The gifted photographer first submitted her images in June of 2020. Maybe because it arrived during the tumultuous time following the death of George Floyd, the dear one below quickly caught our eye.

Magnet #777

A few years ago, an old friend brought the new woman in his life over to meet me. Thinking he’d give the two of us a little space to get to know each other, Jack soon wandered off into the kitchen. He returned with a glass of water and big grin, “For CliffsNotes on Jodee, go read the fridge.”

Once he mentioned it, I saw how true that is! Seriously, if you happen to be a magnet lover like me, you might want to go have a look at what your fridge front has to say about you.

NEW!

We are who we are and here you have me ...

“This is your world. Shape it or someone else will.”

“Make yourself at home: Clean my kitchen!”

“I chose the road less traveled. Now where the hell am I?” “I don’t expect everything to be handed to me; just set it down wherever.”

And my favorite: “My therapist thinks I’m too judgmental, but that’s because he’s an idiot.”
