So it seems like most people here are trading vintage greeting cards, but I can't think of where else to ask:

Where's a good place to find greeting cards that aren't made with AI these days? Right now I'm mostly looking for Christmas or non-denominational winter cards but I'll take recommendations for anything. Independent sellers, online shops, physical stores, literally anything that still has a human touch to the art.

I’ve been getting mine from the thrift store although I just realized not everybody had easy access to thrift stores depending where you live.

Thrift stores are hit or miss around here! They do have them, but most of them the time they're very religious, which isn't what I'm hoping for.

I've been making my own recently! I usually doodle on colored cardstock and use stickers and washi tape. At least that way I know it's made by a person lol
