location

Tennessee

Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Karen Adams lived around the world by the age of 17 adventures that would later fuel her creative career. After attending the Rhode Island School of Design, Karen later landed back home, where she began designing custom invitations for nonprofit organizations. Those first original drawings and hand-finished cards were the spark and start of Karen's design business in 1999, and now more than 20 years later, each and every product is still hand-finished in her studio.

Great card

I frequently give books as gifts and this cards is the perfect addition to that gift. Glad I found it!


Perfect card for a reader!

This was the best card for a person who loves to read! I gave it with the do-it-yourself bookshop kit that Uncommon Goods sells. They were perfect together, and both were unique and fun. I highly recommend!!


beautiful & unique

This "One for the Books" birthday card is exactly what I expect from Uncommon Goods: high quality card stock & design graphics AND a sentiment that is UNCOMMON ;) as well as perfect for all the book lovers in my life. This was my first order of one card but now that I've received it, I'll be ordering a few more! *And...pricing is fair to better than greeting card prices in brick & mortar stores!


Nicely made

This is a well-made card with a fun sentiment.


I will buy this for other book lovers

Very Clever


One for the books!!

Sure, it's a greeting card, but any book lover will appreciate the thought that went into finding the perfect card, & they'll love it! Mailed with a plastic sheath to ensure the card arrives protected. The card itself is printed on a nice paper stock of good weight with a clever & festive book design that says, Happy & Birthday as the book titles. Nicely printed with good colors & a matching green envelope. Left blank inside so you can personalize it for the recipient, with a finish that's easy to write on with any pen or marker. They'll wonder where you found such a perfect card to celebrate all that they are & marvel at how you did indeed help make their special day one for the books!
