Greeting Cards
Greeting cards are the heart and soul of the Strong and Hardy brand.
They aren’t like any greeting cards you’ve ever seen or read before and we’re hoping they’re a breath of fresh air in the sea of boring, trite, insincere and predictable Hallmarkesque cards that have been littering the greeting card landscape for decades. To purchase, please visit our Etsy shop or find us at a 2024 Expo or art festival. We offer custom personalization with all online card orders and can mail directly to recipients.
