Gift Guide Pick
For the past couple of years I have had photo cards done to send to family and friends that live far away from us. These year I was able to order some photo cards from Cardstore.com.
It was a simple process. With so many holiday cards to choose from, I actually had three that I liked, and I made my husband choose which one to order! I like that they have a variety of styles where you can place more than one photo on the card. Personalizing the text was easy, and I was able to see what it would look like right on the screen whenever I changed the font.
I’m very happy with the quality of the paper and the colors of the photos. I’m excited to send these out to the people who we don’t get to see often. Another nice touch to the assortment of cards Cardstore.com offers is that you can get flat or folded cards. The ones we chose above are flat cards, there is still plenty of room on the back to write a short Christmas greeting if you choose to as well.
The design is by Kate Spain which is quite fitting since all but one of the photos I used were actually taken in Spain this past April! What I appreciated most about this particular design is that while it was displayed as “Happy Holidays”, I could change it to say “Merry Christmas” which I prefer to use on my cards.
I also ordered a set of Gift Tags from Cardstore.com.
They are a really nice weight and will look great tied up with ribbon on the baking gifts I give this year!
