In 1977, she'd made her first licensing deal by selling three card designs for $150 and signed a short-term contract with another greeting card company. In 1983, she began producing and designing her own cards. As her greeting card line grew in size and popularity, it drew attention from other companies who were anxious to license Mary's distinctive artwork on a wide range of products, including calendars, T-shirts, mugs, gift books, rubber stamps, ceramic figurines and more. By 1986, Mary Engelbreit greeting cards had blossomed into a million-dollar-a-year business.
In 1996, Mary launched a national consumer magazine, Mary Engelbreit's HOME COMPANION. It shows her personal decorating vision and showcases the homes of fellow artists. Each issue also covers topics including family life, food, decorating, craft projects, flea markets and collectibles.
In 2001, her original dream of illustrating children's books came true when she signed a contract with HarperCollins. Today, Mary Engelbreit Studios has realized a lifetime retail sales of more than a billion dollars. An amazing degree of success for any company.
