Collections Created for American Greetings
I was fortunate to have been a contributor to the American Greetings company where I was able to take my passion for surface design to lead in the development planning, designing and execution of everyday and seasonal gift wrap, gift bag and other gifting formats for national retailers including Wal-Mart, Target and CVS for 20 years. While at American Greetings I also earned 4 design/merchandising patents.
Greeting Cards
Here are a sampling of greeting cards I designed for American Greetings.

Patents
Tongue Waggin Wishes
These fun cards feature colorful animals with wacky googly eyes and a really cool surprise. With a pull on the tongue, the animal pops up and sings a silly tune. Designs include a Hoppy Birthday frog, a dog sharing wishes for a tail-waggin' good time, a super sweet cow and a monkey that wants you to have a banana-fana fun day!
Gift Bags with Removable Parts
This bag collection includes wearable attachments that the end-user can remove from the bag and wear.
You get to join in on the fun and wear a matching disguise
American Greetings Rose Bow
This bow was created for American Greetings incorporating a rose which is a part of the companies logo and history.
Gift Wrap Display
This patent was given for a unique merchandising display. Each section of a 40’ run contained this distinctive “gifting boutique.” A one-stop-shop for all your gift wrapping needs.
