For years prior to joining GCU, I was selling blank cards, however creating greetings with text was a new experience for me and one that I struggled with for months. Coming up with what to say has never stumped me, it was applying text to my artwork and having it legible, eye-catching and yet subtle enough to not overpower the image that was my challenge.  The first step of tackling text on greeting cards requires experimenting with fonts.  Though there are a tremendous amount of fonts out there that offer free commercial license, just because a font looks cool doesn’t mean it’s a good choice for a greeting card.  Look at best selling card styles and you’ll see that the font styling blends well with the mood of the card.
