Tag: modern holiday cards

After weighing all the different variables like price per card, design, paper the card is printed on and such, I found one company that really does it for me this year. Originally, when I recommended www.iprintfromhome.com, I thought they only offered a few choices of designs and, truthfully, the designs looked a little too dinky for me. Well, on second look I noticed that they offer a *self* design option that works great! You can upload a photo with your own text and BAM! you’ve got a card you designed yourself. It helps if you have Photoshop or some other photo editing software to add text to the photo…Here is our Holiday card…

And, here’s the second option I made:

I couldn’t decide between the two so I ordered both…They cost roughly $1.00 per card. Not bad!

Just Google “holiday photo cards” and you’re likely to be overwhelmed with choices.  I know I was!  I did a little digging, ordered from some companies and found a few that really do an excellent job with quality photo cards with an eye toward good design.  I culled the list and here are my top picks:

1)  Mango Ink – Talk about beautiful design.  I love their sense about blending words with photographs and, honestly these are about the best I’ve seen.  They offer sqaure, folding and rectangle options and claim to be fast, fast, fast…that’s good if you’re like me and, best efforts not withstanding, you wind up doing Holiday things at the last minute.  Take a look and see…

2)  Tiny Prints – Always a good choice, these guys have so many designs to look through.  The site is easy to navigate and the ordering process couldn’t be easier.  Make sure to use a good photo that will print up well and I’m certain you’ll be happy.
