Boston Weddings Magazine 2008

The Boston Magazine thought Jack Cards would be the perfect 'planning made simple' service for busy brides who need to find a safe and convenient place to store all their contact information. Elizabeth Tingue wrote in the Wedding Spring/Summer Issue "Sending out 300 thank-you notes can be a post-honeymoon pain. Enter Boston-based Jack Cards, a new greeting cards company that handles the heavy lifting." We also think that Jack Cards is the perfect correspondence service for newly weds who go on to live happy, full and hectic lives celebrating significant milestones ranging from 'Happy House Warming', 'Congratulations on the Promotion' through to 'It's A Boy' and 'We'd Love to Attend Your Wedding!'. Names, addresses and milestones are all stored in one simple online place for every imaginable event. Did someone say "Planning Made Simple"?

Jack Cards: The Wall Street Journal

2007-12-05T09:00:00.000-08:00

Jack Cards was reviewed by the Mossberg Solution in the The Wall Street Journal today, written by Katherine Boehret.

Katherine Boehret tested the Jack Cards service and site, signing up and even purchasing some cards. We were so happy to hear that Katherine thinks that "even the hippest e-cards...are no match for paper cards with thoughtfully penned sentiments." Katherine noted that "...the cards looked even better in person, created by about 40 designers who left me both scratching my head over some of their humor and cooing over their beautiful designs....The weight and quality of the cards, along with their artistic attributes, made them feel more special than something that has been picked up from a shelf and opened by a hundred passersby."

We're busily working on Jack Cards v2.o which will incorporate Katherine's suggestions and more, we'll keep you updated on our progress!

In the meantime we'd love to hear what you think of the article and if you have any further suggestions, ideas, thoughts for us! We're all ears!

A Black Pearl Press Exclusive

2007-10-13T13:43:00.000-07:00

Black Pearl Press Founder, Elisabeth Warman, has designed two stunning greeting card collections "imaginary botany" and "picnic in the park", exclusively for Jack Cards. Elisabeth hand-prints her letterpress collections using antique presses, one color and card at a time, in her own studio in Boston's South End. Her "happy way of making things" and signature simplicity shine through in every detail from her elegant illustrations and patterns, to her combination of modern styling and delicate old-world craftsmanship.

Zodiac Cards For Everyone

2007-09-15T10:23:00.000-07:00

If you’re a star sign buff, or even a skeptic, you’ll love Bob's Your Uncle's Zodiac Collection, featured in the September 2007 issue of Country Home Magazine along with Jack Cards. The collection is based on extensive research by the designer, Martin Yeeles, who was originally a skeptic but once he researched more he started to find that traits in his friends and family really did correspond to their star signs - scary! According to Martin, each card "describes how people perceive you rather than how you perceive yourself". The cards are blank inside so that you can send them for any occasion, not just birthdays. They're great reminders of what you love best about your friend or relative, so they'd be a lot of fun for Mother's Day, Father's Day, as a Thank You or Just Because!
