We asked ourselves, what difference can we make in the world by sprinkling a bit of inspiration where we live, work, and play? With each gift we create, we hope to find out just how much good we can share.
JUST THE BEGINNING
The exploration of this simple belief is where our story began in 1985. Excited to discover the possibilities, we started to dream up tangible ways to add hope and unexpected delight to each day. Soon, our first pop-open cards were born—small window cards with thoughtful messages hidden inside.
REACHING FAR
A wave of inspiration can ripple from community to community. And our powerful little pop-open cards quickly made their way around the world. Astronauts carried them into space and submarine crews took them to the bottom of the ocean. They were handed out to courageous response teams at Ground Zero after 9/11. They have been given to teachers and cancer patients, and continue to be shared with anyone who could use a spark of inspiration. Wherever these little cards show up, they lift spirits and warm hearts.
A LASTING IMPACT
Our desire is to create meaningful moments with gifts that inspire. Now, millions of our joyful messages—found in greeting cards and children’s books, guided journals and customizable keepsakes—have touched the lives of people around the globe. Through their impact we discovered that a bit of inspiration can, in fact, make a big difference. We invite you to join us on our journey—to empower, delight, inspire, and care. And to find just how much goodness we can put into the world.
