KANSAS CITY — This Mother’s Day, Hallmark is encouraging people to see what a card can do to celebrate and recognize the mom in their life, amidst more ways than ever to reach out and stay in touch.

“Many people feel less connected than ever despite more ways to communicate than ever, and at Hallmark, we believe that cards have the power to change that,” said Lindsey Roy, chief marketing officer – Hallmark Greetings. “Digital communication may make it easy, but at Mother’s Day, there’s something about a card that just does more. Cards can do some pretty amazing things – they have the power to bring us closer, make us happier, rekindle relationships, and bridge the miles between us to keep our most important relationships strong.”
This Mother’s Day, Paper Wonder cards add new dimension and unique storytelling through memorable paper craft artwork in 35 different designs that double as a keepsake for Mom. Now available everywhere Hallmark products are sold, each intricately designed Paper Wonder Mother’s Day card showcases love and appreciation through clever folds, surprising pops and artistic details that inspire people to share with the moms in their lives.
