Conscious Correspondence: Fun, Fresh And Fabulous Recycled Greeting Cards

It’s no secret that I have a love affair with my internet connection but opening up the mailbox and finding a handwritten note that made its way across the miles just for muah makes me giddy each time.  Because I have a ‘thing’ for paper and especially unique cards & stationery, I absolutely love it when I come across the recycled sort.   But don’t get me wrong, I don’t gravitate towards the dried petals and chunky paper pulp variety.

Jennifer Ramos, artist & founder behind the fun, colorful and eco-friendly notecard line, Made By Girl says “creativity is everything to me” and believes we are all environmentalists.  “We all love sunny days and clean beaches, so we all need to be apart of the solution”.

All cards are 100% post consumer recycled and envelopes are 50% recycled and 30% post consumer waste.  The paper is made in a water-powered mill manufactured with 100% clean renewable hydroelectric energy and a percentage of profits are donated to StopGlobalWarming.org.
