Ecards, the basics
Blue Mountain Arts, parent company of Blue mountain cards, was officially formed in 1971. With the posters popularity, Stephen and Susan began travelling the country selling their art and soon branched out into gift books, calendars and stationery. Stephen and Susan transferred their art to Blue Mountain greeting cards soon thereafter. Blue Mountain cards, in fact, introduced the all occasion blank greeting card to the public. They also introduced a second greeting card innovation: the inclusion of expressive free form poetry to the interior of their cards, replacing the staid traditional rhyming messages used for so long.
