Greetings Card Category Concerns since Creativity Standards Announcement

Hi all - I'm a longer time Etsy seller specialising in greetings cards and luxury paper based goods.

I have been tweaking listings today and noticed that along with the the new 'Made By' Tag in the Highlights section of all my greetings cards it also states that my cards are 'Party decor for gatherings and celebrations'. I am aware that this is largely dictated by the fact that greens cards tend to fall into the 'paper and party supplies' category when I am selecting a category for the listing. However, it seems incorrect and misleading that my greetings card now all say that they are 'party decor' which obviously they are not.

I have concerns that this may limit customer search of this items to those within 'party decor' only which are not my intended customer or market. I don't have any tags associated with party decor on any of my greetings card listings. 

Is anyone able to shed any light or reassure me about this at all? Thanks!

Etsy rolled out a product that was only half baked and almost everyone has issues and concerns regarding it.  Fill out the survey at the end of the announcement and let them know what your concerns are.
