About Blue Crab

Blue Crab | Handcrafted Greeting Cards - Maryland Artisan | Wholesale Card Sets At Blue Crab, we celebrate the extraordinary beauty of life’s imperfect, one-of-a-kind moments. Inspired by nature’s whimsy and the warm nostalgia of handwritten notes, our artisan greeting cards are lovingly crafted to remind you—and the people you love—that true connection is as unique as a wildflower, as timeless as a pressed leaf in an old book, and as personal as your own handwriting. Our Story Founded by Joanne O'Brien in 2025, Blue Crab Books began with a simple belief: no two cards—or people—should ever be alike. Each of our designs is a small work of art, blending vintage botanicals, hand-drawn illustrations, and playful imperfections that make them feel alive. Whether it’s a birthday, a thank-you, or just-because, our cards are crafted to carry messages that feel as special and unrepeatable as the relationships they celebrate. Why Retailers Love Us ✔ Truly Handcrafted – Every card is individually printed, painted, or assembled with artisan care—meaning no two are perfectly identical, just like your customers. ✔ Whimsical & Nostalgic Aesthetic – Think: vintage field guide botanicals meets storybook charm, perfect for shops that cherish slow, meaningful gifting. ✔ Small-Batch Integrity – Sustainably sourced papers, eco-conscious inks, and packaging that feels like a gift itself. ✔ Wholesale Flexibility – Thoughtful minimums and easy reordering, because we’re here to grow with you.
