Stephen and Susan subsequently turned their artistic talents to the development of Blue Mountain Cards greeting cards and were the first to develop blank all occasion greeting cards for personal messages. Another innovation credited to Blue Mountain Cards was the introduction of expressive freeform poetry and prose to preprinted cards.
