In 1998, Jacque Barns started making her own handmade cards. She spent a lot of time shopping for unique embellishments to use for making cards, but found that there were very few options to choose from in crafting stores. Jacque decided to find her own crafting suppliers and produce her own, unique card blanks. She is now the proud and successful owner of KookyKards in Essex, UK. Due to the amount of card stock involved in making her blanks, Jacque decided to start the website KookyKards.com and sell the excess stock and other supplies via the internet.

===The Business ===
+
What makes these card blanks so unique is the high quality standards they place on each blank produced. Almost all crafting retailers sell card blanks that are a good enough quality for making general handmade cards, but are not of high enough quality for making professional quality cards. “There is a big difference between card blanks sold for crafting cards and cards supplied as finished products such as greeting cards or wedding stationary,” states Jacque.
 +
[[Image:Kk3.jpg|150px|left]]
 +
The biggest challenge to KookyKards is not in competing with other retailers similar to them, but more in the task of keeping up with the current trends of card making. Because they specialize in producing high quality card blanks, general crafting stores are not really a direct competitor. Even though these types of stores do carry a range of similar items, they do not offer the same high quality or wide variety of these products.
