Funny online birthday cards, and more
Stephen and Susan combined their watercolor and poetry design into posters that appealed to the early 1970s hippie culture and convinced a local bookstore to carry the posters, which quickly sold out. Other stores quickly followed suit. Stephen and Susan subsequently turned their artistic talents to the development of Blue Mountain Cards greeting cards and were the first to develop blank all occasion greeting cards for personal messages. They also changed the content of preprinted greeting cards from the then prevalent rigid and formalistic poetic style to the expressive freeform poetry that Susan favored. The product line eventually expanded to include calendars, stationery, and gift books, and their customer base grew.
