In this heartwarming and practical solo episode, Delores shares how greeting cards—those humble, heartfelt pieces of art—have quietly become one of the most consistent and joyful income streams in her creative business.

She reflects on over 30 years of experience designing, selling, and licensing cards, from her first handmade pieces in local gift shops to a surprise contract with Hallmark. 

This episode is packed with thoughtful insights for artists at all stages—whether you’re looking for your first small win or playing the long game in creative income.

You'll learn:
 ✨ Why greeting cards are an ideal starting point for artists
 ✨ How to design cards that feel meaningful and polished (with layout tips!)
 ✨ The story behind her Five Cards in Five Days Challenge
