Shop: Cards

Welcome to my new Greeting Card & Gift Boutique.

All the cards and other designs you see here were designed by Meriah Kruse. In addition to helping ultra-small businesses become more savvy marketers, I also have a love affair with greeting cards — always have. Maybe you’ll fall in love with one of the five collections you’ll find below. scroll down…

Make someone’s day! Rekindle friendships, make new friends, express sympathy, celebrate with your peeps, say “I love you,” send best wishes for a quick recovery or a happy holiday, enclose a pressed flower, a favorite poem or quote.

What’s in my mailbox today?
Something more than bills, I hope!

a handwritten message can go a long way!

All designs available in 6-Card boxes.

For quantities of more than 24, contact us for a special price arrangement.


In today’s busy world many of our messages to each other take the form of tweets, brief texts with auto-misspelled words and email messages adrift in the chaos of our Inboxes. Today more than ever a greeting card from a friend — arriving in our ACTUAL mailbox — can seem like a shining beacon of kindness and friendship. Sending a friendly message to a friend or family member, a business associate or client will brighten their day — especially if they’ve been cooped up or isolated because of covid-19. This simple gesture will give BOTH of you a good feeling!

We currently have 45 designs available here, and will continue adding new (and former) designs each month, so visit us on the first of every month to see what’s been added! Many designs are derived from tiny original acrylic or watercolor paintings, line drawings, and others from collages combining painted fragments and designer papers from Nepal, Japan, Thailand, and India from Mulberry Paper Company. More recently I’ve added a couple of cards using photography. All are printed in Lexington, Kentucky, USA, by Beau Graphics, a veteran greeting card printing company with over 35 years experience, on heavy high quality white Kromecote, glossy on the cover to make the colors shimmer and matte finish in the interior for ease of writing.

Each card measures 5 x 6.5 inches (some are vertical, some horizontal in orientation) and comes with its own bright white envelope. Each design is available in boxes of 6 for $28, with FREE shipping in the U.S.. If you want to buy cards in bulk quantities (20 or more) OR for us to ship outside the U.S., send me a message and I’ll make a special arrangement for you.

When making greeting card designs, the ideas come from everywhere and nowhere. I rarely have an idea in mind of what I’m making; each card tends to make itself. For practical and artistic reasons, I give each card a title; still, I suggest you feel free to interpret the drawings, paintings and collages any way you like.

This can be a pleasurable exercise for your imagination! For instance, I call this design “Clays Mill Road: The Bee’s View.” But what do you see?


SEE the LOVE IS IN THE AIR Collection

SEE the OCEAN, WATER & SHORE Collection

This collection of cards began as a series of Valentine’s Day cards. I wrote a story about an unusual encounter with LOVE on the uninhabited side of MAUI, and it inspired a collection of nearly a dozen designs centered around a heart motif.. Many are made as collages incorporating unique handmade papers from around the world.

As a Pisces, water is not only essential to my Life in a biological sense, it’s also my emotional go-to place. Whether it’s a creek, river, lake or ocean, I want to be there, either wading, swimming, or floating on a kayak, rowboat, ski boat or cruise liner. This ever-expanding collection is all inspired by water in one way or the other.


SEE the FLORAL, NATURE, and PEOPLE Collection

SEE the WINTER HOLIDAY Collection

This collection is loosely based on impressions and passions ignited by time spent with flowers, nature, people, and their cultures

Share some holiday spirit! Certainly off the beaten path, nothing here literally says “Merry Christmas,” or “Happy New Year,” but they make sensational, unpredictable holiday cards. By September we’ll have 20 designs in this category… sample a few today.


You can also shop for tote bags, weekender bags, mugs, and aprons using some of the same colorful designs
