For years Mary Engelbreit's loyal followers have wondered why they can't find her greeting cards in independent retail locations. The "Queen of Cute" had heard rumors that fans wondered if her business had actually evaporated! Hardly. It seems that American Greetings, which is the licensee for ME cards, places them in stores like CVS, Walmart, and KMart, but not in neighborhood gift and card stores.
To rectify the situation, and reach her loyal fan base, Mary took matters into her own capable hands and launched the Paperworks Collection. You'll still be able to find her cards in big box stores, but the new Paperworks Collection is available online, and soon, in a retail location near you.
The collection includes two sets of boxed cards, Mary Engeldark, showing Mary's edgier side, "because nobody's bright and cheerful ALL the time, even Mary Engelbreit!" above,
and the Chronically Unprepared Box Set, above, for weddings, birthdays – whatever occasions pop-up during the year. Each set contains 10 cards with10 different designs, $16.95.
The Paperworks Collection website includes a coloring book for children and adults with twelve 8 1/2 x 11" perforated pages (just one drawing to a sheet), $10.95. Mary has found from personal experience, and the wildly-popular book attests to the fact that "coloring is a great stress reliever." There are individual greeting cards too, including one I should take to heart: "Yeah that Happened. Now Move On," $3.50.
Order any of the new products here, and mention Mary Engelbreit's Paperworks Collection to a shopowner near you (there is a link on the website for retailers). Mary is planning to add new items to the collection periodically, so check her website often.
