Submission Guidelines

Calypso Cards, Inc publishes and distributes several lines of sophisticated, contemporary and innovative greeting cards. We work with a handful of talented freelance artists and illustrators to provide fresh, original artwork that approaches the greeting card from a new angle. Before submitting please take a look at our website to make sure that your work fits with our style.

Generally text is added after the artwork is selected.

Submitting Digital Art (Preferred)

Send low resolution jpegs with contact information (your name, date, address, telephone number and email address) prominent in the text of the email, and on every page. Please compress larger files to save space and avoid corruption. If we decide to use your designs we will contact you for original files. Please submit to: [email protected].

Submitting Physical Art
