It’s hard to believe that Halloween has already blown by and Thanksgiving is a little over a week away, isn’t it? I’ve just finalized my holiday card offerings for this season and I’m ready to design some unique, beautiful greetings for you! There are six styles to choose from and all of the images and text are fully customizable to create a thoughtful gift for friends and family that is sure to bring a smile to their face.
Ordering your custom holiday cards is easy. If your gallery is still active, simply add the images you’d like to use to “My Album” and submit the list as a Holiday Card. Then, go to “The Store” on the right hand side, select “Holiday Cards” from the drop down menu, and choose flat, folded, or photographic. From there you’ll select the card design (remember the name of the style from this blog post), card size, and cardstock type. I HIGHLY recommend that you add your own personal message to the card. The text used in the sample photos below can be used if you wish, but a sentiment from your heart will be a million times more special. Card sets are sold in packs of 25 with white envelopes. A second set of folded or flat cards can be ordered easily at a discount as well. Prices are good until December 13. Cards can be ordered after that, but a rush charge will be added.
There are several types of cardstock to choose from. All of the papers can be coated with a high-gloss finish if you really want to make your card pop.
Semi-gloss has the same weight and feel as regular greeting cards and is easy to write on.
Watercolor paper is textured, but not too heavily. It’s a beautiful card to hold and the colors are rich.
Art Recycled paper has a matte finish. It’s an eco-friendly option that is also beautiful.
Pearl paper is quite heavy and has a semi-gloss. What makes it so beautiful is the iridescent sheen on the front and back that gives images a little sparkle – perfect for the holidays! The Pearl paper can be tricky to write on unless you have a fine tipped Sharpie.
Once you have placed your order I will design your cards and send you a small proof to make sure that you absolutely love it. Once you approve the cards will be printed and you’ll have them in your mailbox in a week!
Now, on to the designs!
The front of "Garland" is nice and simple. Text can be added to the front if you wish.
An inside view of "Garland". This card has a top fold. It's important to realize in any of these designs that there is no need to fit images perfectly to the samples you see here. I will make your favorite image or images work with a design!
The front of "Rustic". This design will look AMAZING on pearl paper!
The inside spread of "Rustic". This design has a side fold.
The front and back of "Blizzard" are nearly identical. This design is perfect for a flat or photographic card.
"Bright Snowflake" is just such a happy design. This is the front.
An inside view of "Bright Snowflake". This design has a top fold.
"Howlidays". Ok, I wouldn't be surprised if you wanted to use the text in this sample. Unless you don't have a dog, hehe. Shown here is the front and back (or inside).
Last but not least, "Snow Flowers" is a clean, eye catching design. The inside of the card looks similar, with lots of room for images, text, or both!
Are you ready to order your cards? Alright! Head over to my store and enter your gallery. Has your gallery expired? I can reactivate it for you in a jiffy, just give me a call or send me an email. If you’ve adopted an animal from HSCC or Ivana Iguana and don’t see your new pal in the gallery let me know and I’ll upload the images. I often have more than one good photo of each rescue animal, so be sure to ask to see more!
Peace and Jingle Bells,
