Inspiration Station: 2014 Greeting Card Trends

May 6, 2014 8:15 am

By taking inspiration from growing trends, artists can tailor their designs to suit emerging markets – in other words, give your cards even more commercial appeal by giving shoppers what they want to buy.

Stationary Trends on-line magazine has an interesting article you should read – Market Style Update: The Stroke of a Pen. You’ll find food for thought here including wedding trends. Their e-newsletter has a lot of good information as well. We recommend checking out the site including the archives.

For more creative ideas, visit CardMaker magazine on-line. The Editor’s Blog is frequently updated with lots of pictures letting you in on the latest in handmade cards – a great source of inspiration.

Have fun and get inspired for 2014!
