Christian Greeting Cards

Mar 9th by Jon
#724.

A few weeks ago, a greeting card company asked if I would ever think about doing a line of Stuff Christians Like greeting cards. The answer to that question my friend, is “yes.”

The opportunity to imagine a situation where a “Booty, God, Booty” card would be required was just too much fun to pass up. And imagine being single and someone giving you the “Surviving church as a single” greeting card. Tell me that wouldn’t warm your mono heart on a Valentine’s Day?

So I sent the greeting card company my book and I am anxiously awaiting their reply. I’m not going to lie, it’s been about a month and I haven’t heard back from them. Maybe they hated the book. I mean, that is very possible given that the first chapter is “Ranking honeymoon sex slightly higher than the second coming of Christ.”

Which is a shame, because Christians definitely like greeting cards. This topic belongs on the SCL list. But if they don’t publish my greeting cards, I’m probably still going to make some on my own, they just won’t be as high quality. I’ll probably have to just take photos with my digital camera and then write pithy statements. I’ll probably have to start today.

Below is the front of my first greeting card. I took this photo at work the other day. Inside the card it will say: “Angels are working for us.”

I think that’s probably going to sell a bajillionty copies, but maybe you have a better idea.

What would you suggest we write inside this greeting card? Caption please.

You may not see Him, but the signs are there.

it's kinda weird because it's a caution…
maybe it could say: "Angels are working for us — which is good because they don't tend to drop stuff. But if they do, it won't hurt because it's spirit."

Front of card:
Caution: Remember that road paved with good intentions?
Inside [with harp music playing as you open it]
There is a better one up above paved in gold!
He Cares for you and so do I!
God Bless!

Can we PLEASE have the single card? Please?

Then we can truly say we're playing the Singles card!

joanna Mar 10, 2010

And we could make it a musical card taking the "playing" bit even further. Maybe it could play Single Ladies by Beyonce or Single by Natasha Beddingfield

Good thing Angels don't get Labor Day off.

"Do not be weary in well-doing, for we shall reap if we do not faint"

It cut off the rest of it. the bottom would say: "Now, let's get some work done below. Keep up the good work!" (Or something equally cheesy).

Who doesn't love a Matthew 5:28 reference?

I I'd make this a "hang in there" card:

Workers above….
… evidence all around. Walk by faith 'til you can see it. [2 Cor 5:7]

Susan Mar 10, 2010

Workers above…
…. and prayerful supporters all around. Hang in there — I'm praying for you.

Workers above….
…. and all around you. Don't confuse seeing with believing.

Luvs2Dance Mar 10, 2010

Workers above, no worries below.

Angelia Mar 10, 2010

How about the always catchy "somebody's watchin' you"?

Kathryn Mar 10, 2010

What about creating a calendar for 2011?

Don't be stuck working below.

Amber Mar 11, 2010

Still haven't found a job? Look up!

(Actually, I've been unemployed four months now, and I'd probably kick whoever sent me that card. LOL.)
