After 21 years, Evergreen Cards will be closing on June 25, 2025. All of Evergreen's remaining beautiful hand-cut Christmas cards are now priced at 50% off retail, just $2.00 each! All other cards and bookmarks in our inventory—nearly 140 different products—have now been reduced by 67%-75% off retail and can now be purchased for just $1.00 each (while supplies last)! This is your chance to get all of your greeting cards—for everyday, special occasions, or even for your 2025 Christmas needs—at the lowest prices we've ever offered! But please don't wait any longer to place your order or you'll be disappointed because when our remaining very limited inventory is gone, it's gone! (Note: We've already completely sold out of 122 of the items in our product line.) Thank you for helping us finish well and honor our card-cutting ladies and staff for their faithful, hard work over these many years! And, thanks to you, our customers, for your many years of prayers and support through your purchases of Evergreen cards and bookmarks!

Thank you for supporting our card-cutting ladies and their families in rural Shanxi Province, China for the past 21 years! Your purchases of Evergreen's stunning, individually hand-cut cards and bookmarks have made a difference in so many lives! With our sincere gratitude and blessings!

Welcome to Evergreen Cards!

Begun in early 2004, Evergreen Cards is an economic development project dedicated to providing job skills' training and work opportunities for low-income women in the small villages of Yangqu County, Shanxi Province, China.

In this poor, primarily agricultural rural area—where the annual average family income is still less than U.S. $400—many minimally-educated women must find a way to help provide for their families.  Sadly, the availability of wholesome work in these subsistence farming communities and villages is still virtually non-existent. 

There are also a significant number of women in these villages who, due to personal disabilities, have limited mobility.  Others are the primary care-givers for family members with severe health issues or disabilities.  All need to be able to work from home to provide for the needs of their families.

Evergreen Cards’ focus is to identify and interview families—showing dignity and respect—who face these kinds of difficult circumstances.  And then, reach out and empower these women in a tangible way through God’s love by teaching them the skill of hand-cutting cards and providing employment.

Today, with around 30 active card-cutters, Evergreen Cards annually produces tens of thousands of nearly 150 different designs of intricately beautiful, individually hand-cut greeting cards and laminated bookmarks.  This site, Evergreen Cards USA, serves as our primary distribution arm for the North American market.
