We see a lot of our “little boy blue” and “under construction” birth announcements with the little boy in the Dump Truck.  This birth announcement is neat because they chose a John Deere dump truck to go along with our “little John Deere” announcement:

An adoption announcement for Huxley!   Gotta love little Boxers…

The guys in the office liked this one:

“Awesome” was the description.  Maybe it’s cause we’re just a few hundred miles from the Harley Davidson HQ.  Cool pic Gavin!

Another motor-themed birthday invitation this month:

We had two winners from this week’s photo contest.  Congratulations to both Michalyn and Wyatt & Drew with 72 votes each!

One of my favorite Christmas cards we designed this year:

Lots of elements incorporated from different designs and I love the scenery in the middle picture.

Wow it has been a busy holiday season this year!  We’ve been working shifts 24 hours a day processing orders and even our design and website staff have been helping out so we haven’t had a chance to blog.  Especially since we offered the free upgrade to Express shipping promo this week, yikes!

But I came across this order that was shipped today and thought we just had to post it in the blog!  Look at this creative photo holiday card… that just looks like a fun family to be a part of!  They created this card using our simple love blue design.  The text on the main photo was actually embedded on their own photo before uploading it to the design.  That was a good idea and a way to get some extra text onto the card until we can give users the option to add more text boxes (we’re working on that!). 

Take a look at how Cristina and Joe used our online card designer to create a wedding announcement.  They used our holiday announcement design in the christmas and winter holidays collection.  How creative!

We’d like to feature this custom designed photo Christmas card for the Lewis family.  They’ve been ordering from us for 3 years now!  This is a good example of what is possible with the professional custom design process.

The process started with the background pattern of our red blossom design, then we brought in some elegance from the heavenly elegance design.  The monagram ribbon was pulled in from heavenly classic.  And of course the back of the card showcases a collage of pictures throughout the year.   This card was printed on 12pt UV gloss.

Take a look at the card one of our customer’s designed using our online tools!  Could you imagine the patience it must have taken to get the words to line up in a tree formation like that?  What a nice special touch to a beautiful card!

This is just an example of the flexibility you have with our online card designer.  Where most companies might allow you to change text in a specific place, our software lets you change the text and position it wherever you like!

If you have a large amount of text or you want to include a mini Christmas letter for your photo Christmas card, we definitely recommend the foldover cardstock option.
