Wanted New Cards: Thank You Host Family Exchange Student.
November 22, 2018
Wanted Cards – Thank You Host Family Exchange Student
It is a big responsibility and a lot of work to host a foreign exchange student. Although most or all of their expenses may be covered, just the responsibility of having another person in the household adds extra work and concern. The best of host families really roll out the red carpet to immerse the student in the host country’s lifestyle – dining, sightseeing, shopping, traveling, etc.
For many exchange students, it is a once in a lifetime experience that they will never forget … as well as for the hosting family.
Please consider creating cards for this new category from the student to the host family:

Nuts and Bolts: Design Challenge Feedback
November 16, 2018
Nuts & Bolts – Design Challenge Feedback
As we come to the year’s end and the final Design Challenge of 2018, we look forward to the Founders’ Choice Awards which is a time for GCU to look back on all of the amazing card submission of 2018.
GCU runs the Design Challenge every month with each challenge having a different theme. It is a great source of new card designs for GCU, a fun opportunity for artists to challenge themselves and design outside of their norm, and inspiration for artists looking for new ideas.
Heading into 2019, GCU would love to see more artists enter the challenge each month as well as see more artists enter for the first time.
We’d like to get artists’ feedback and suggestions on how to improve the Design Challenges for 2019. How can GCU make the challenges more interesting, easier to enter? Would you like more time, better rewards, input on themes, better communications or reminders to enter, etc.?
By 12/15, please share your feedback in the comments / reply below or if you’d like to send them privately please send an email titled “Design Challenge Feedback” to mindy@greetingcarduniverse.com.
Thank you in advance!
The difference is made in the details!

Wanted New Cards: Thank You Blood Donor
November 15, 2018
Wanted Cards – Thank You Blood Donor
There are many different needs for blood – everyday. Supplies are not just needed when we may think they are in high demand like accidents and natural disasters. The majority of blood is needed everyday for surgeries, organ transplants, treatments for blood disorders and other non-emergency uses.
Blood donations are always in need to have supplies of blood at the ready and is one of the most precious gifts that anyone can give to another person.
Some people may be regular blood donors, others may donate when there is a specific need, or others when they are aware of a blood drive nearby.
Please consider creating Thank a Blood Donor cards for this new category. Before designing, please take some time to research appropriate messages for thanking a blood donor.
