Be An Artist

Interested in joining our family of Independent Artists?

Since the beginning, Recycled Paper Greetings has always looked to outside artists and designers for your unique points of view, for the unconventional style you bring to greeting cards. We value the diversity and creativity that comes from such varied influences and take great pride in our family of independent artists, a family we are always looking to grow.

To Submit Your Art:

We believe that design and message go hand in hand and we want the complete experience your artwork offers, so we request that all submissions mimic a complete greeting card…

  • Artwork should be packaged with its message in mock-up format (standard vertical is 5”x7”).
  • Please send up to 10 ideas (labeled with your name, address and phone number) for the following: Birthday, Friendship, Thank You, Miss You, and Thinking of You. Please do not send holiday-specific cards, as we work far in advance of holidays.
  • Do not send slides, disks, tear sheets, or original artwork. Recycled Paper Greetings is not responsible for any damage to artwork submitted. We suggest submitting color copies or photographs of your art.
  • Do not send previously published cards.

Please include a self-addressed stamped envelope large enough to hold your submission.

The review process can take up to 2 months. Simultaneous submissions to other companies are perfectly acceptable. If your work is chosen for test marketing, we will contact you to discuss final art preparation, procedures and payment. If your work is not selected, we will return it to you.

Thank you for your interest in Recycled Paper Greetings. Please send your submission to:
