Wanted New Cards: Coronavirus / COVID-19
First we would like to send a message of support and concern to all of our artists to be safe and healthy. We find having an entire artist community of mobile workers and online shoppers comforting in a time of chaos. GCU HQ employees are working remotely. And as of today, our printing partners are still in production. Of course, conditions can change from one day to the next.
Not to make light of a very serious situation, but levity goes a long way in easing anxiety, stress, and worry. This may also be a good creative outlet for artists to express your support, perspective, compassion, frustrations, humor, etc.

We’d like to put a call out for any cards that are Coronavirus themed. They all should reside here that will serve as a catch-all category. Shoppers will find them via search so your keywords and titles will be key:
Collections >> Health Awareness >> Coronavirus / COVID 19
Consider occasions like Get Well, Miss You, Thinking of You, Birthday, Anniversary, hygiene awareness, quarantine, social distancing, TP shortage … you name it.
Remember, when you’re submitting your new Stock Card, add a little note about the intended category in your Notes to Reviewers. Be inventive, be colorful, be clever, be creative.

Elements of this image infringe on copyrighted, trademarked and licensed materials. Specifically, cards that contain references to or images of Volkswagen vehicles cannot be sold on Greeting Card Universe. This includes the manufacturer’s trade dress rights which bars the use of any silhouette, picture, caricature, or reproduction of the shape or appearance of the manufacturer’s vehicle.Car image cards must be abstract or partial in nature so even the defining body lines and profile can not be identified. This is due to Trade Dress laws. Antique/Vintage cars of the 20s and 30s will be considered with a softer eye ie: Model-T but still must not contain any logos, emblems, make & model names.
