<p>Snail mail and greeting cards have assumed a renewed importance in American life that has been absent for decades upon decades. Just ask Paper Source, whose CEO Winnie Park told <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-coronavirus-chicago-greeting-cards-holidays-20201009-wncnn2ey5jgitmwfomvsh2hpxy-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-coronavirus-chicago-greeting-cards-holidays-20201009-wncnn2ey5jgitmwfomvsh2hpxy-story.html">The Chicago Tribune</a> last week that online greeting card sales have increased tenfold compared with the same time period last year. Meanwhile, at Etsy, greeting card searches have jumped 73% over the last three months.</p>



<p>That means that the act of just getting the mail from the mailbox is now an event, and if you want your card to make the equivalent of a red carpet appearance upon arrival, well, check out what&#8217;s new from <a href="http://www.yeppiepaper.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="http://www.yeppiepaper.com/">Yeppie Paper</a>! </p>



<p>The California maker has just released 13 new designs, as well as custom printed patterned envelopes, its creator Jennifer Lee Gregoire described. &#8220;They are locally made in Los Angeles and vibrantly printed in full color on the front and back. We&#8217;re all striving to send more mail these days — on the one hand to help support the USPS, but also to stay socially connected while we have to remain physically apart. I hope these fun envelopes will brighten mailboxes all over the country.&#8221;</p>
