Tarjetitas con Amor is a non-traditional greeting card business that was inspired by words used by family and community. They began as a way to fundraise to pay women of color poets. After positive feedback from the community more cards were created as customers became another spark of inspiration. Tarjetitas con Amor has been around for over 10 years and will continue to make more Tarjetitas for you and your loved ones.
