About Verysupercool

We are an Austin-based business featuring greeting cards for everyday occasions made of 100 percent post consumer waste recycled paper. Since 2005, we’ve built a steady fan base among dog lovers and ecologically conscious card givers alike. By capturing the soulful gaze of each animal, we hope to recreate the intimacy that people share with their pets, or rather, their family. The human-animal bond is a strong one, they bring us peace, joy, laughter, inspiration and comfort.

Dogs and cats help us connect with nature and with each other. We love hearing from our customers and look forward to reading your comments on our website. We also encourage you to upload your own Verysupercool dog or Verysupercool cat photo (complete with their pet passions, pet peeves, and story) to our newly created Flickr groups. In 2008 we will be picking subjects from these two Flickr groups to be featured on cards in our upcoming line.

Sharing the sincere faces, wise souls and touching stories of animals is what we’re all about. We hope that through photographs, videos and narrative each greeting card will take on a life of it’s own. Buying the card is just the beginning…

We are just a couple of dog lovers. Sue Rostvold, the passionate founder of Verysupercool, with the support of her husband Allan Little, has turned their passion for dogs into a growing green business. Sue moved to Austin in 1978 and studied photography in the Fine Arts department at the University of Texas at Austin. She graduated in 1982 with a B.A. in Fine Arts. Her background includes twenty years of pre-press, printing and design experience.
