JULY 11, 2019 – It’s fun to show you this warm-hearted new Friendship card — and even more fun to give you one! Just add it to your order by July 19, and you’ll receive one FREE. And what a wonderful backstory it has …

One of 32 NEW designs recently released, it’s one of the 15 composed by our Cardies. Yep, it’s a “Sarah Ashley Posch Original.”  Sarah Ashley first emailed us last August to say, “When my aunt passed away, my family received your cherry blossom card that reads, ‘When you’ve loved someone your whole life … you can be sure their love surrounds you still.’ The words put a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. I’d set it down only to pick it up and read again. That card stays with me, right there in my heart, everywhere I go. That’s what a card is meant to do.”

From the card back, Sarah Ashley found our site and dove right in to our Submissions form. “I’ve always loved writing and knew it was part of what I wanted to do and be,” she emailed us, then submitted three different times — around 20 messages in all — until her Play Laugh Dream birthday design came to be this past January. “I am thrilled my words have now become a Cardthartic card!” she said at the time, then went on to submit more. :)

“This message was written for a second cousin that I ‘discovered’ recently,” Sarah Ashley said of this new card that’s now dedicated To Nancy Ann. “And, no, I didn’t find her through DNA. :) My mother’s extended family was large and scattered, and she never knew any of the cousins on this side of the family. An old letter sent me searching for them online, and that led me to Nancy Ann. Our first phone conversation lasted almost two hours! She, in turn, led me to several other cousins I couldn’t help loving before I ever met them. Now my life is so much richer knowing each one.” As for the new card, “I can already think of two or three people I’ll be sending it to,” Sarah Ashley says, “people who have been such blessings.”

Ready, set, go think of all the friends you’ve known forever, as well as the ones you wish you had. Sarah Ashley has written a great card for you!
