About Raspberries

It all started in the spring of 1991 when Jim Byrne and Dennis Schmidt set out to produce a humorous greeting card line. The business was born out of a love of humor and a desire to share that humor with the world. They designed 23 different greeting cards for the first run. Jim had written the funny concepts and Dennis illustrated the cards. Mock drawings were shown to area stores and 30 retailers signed up to receive the first cards as soon as they were printed. The new greeting card line was called Byrne & Schmidt Greetings. In a few years, the name would be changed to Raspberries. In the next chapter, Bucky Jones and Anthony Schmidt would lend their artistic talent to the cause. Andrea Noble and Jim Byrne founded Art Tree Greetings in the fall of 2015. Our love of art and undying support for artists was the impetus for starting the Art Tree Greetings project. Our mission is to make the world just a little bit better, one smile at a time.Read their story
