Our Christmas Cards arrived in the mail today! Having 75+ cards to personalize and address is a little bit daunting, but I’m excited that they turned out pretty cute. (We have a lot of ministry partners and we want to let them know we appreciate them at this time of year!) We went with Hallmark last year because we were in SA, and it worked out less expensive to order through them and have them post the cards for us.
Shutterfly won out this year because their prices are really good. {Up to 30% off on Christmas Cards on their site right now! And if you spend more than $25 (which we always do) shipping is free.} They look great, and I like them a lot. I will note, Hero Hubs wishes they didn’t say they were printed at Shutterfly on the back, but I don’t think it’s a big deal.
Since I can’t send each one of you, my delightful friends and readers, a card this year, I’ll share the preview of our Shutterfly one with you to wish you a (slightly early) Merry Christmas! (Maybe I’m the first?)
Along with the flat and folded Christmas cards at Shutterfly, they also have some pretty stylish stationary cards which will frame your favourite pictures in a chic way. Sassy!
In case you’re struggling to cross a few names off your list, you can also sassify some photo-filled calendars and books there too. My Mom and Dad love the grandkid photo calendars! They have some pretty photogenic grandkids. 😉
Anywho, what do you think of our card? Can you tell I’m pregnant in the top right picture? That’s kind of the point, so I hope you can! (Please comment and tell me!) But if you see any typos, don’t tell me because they’re already printed and here and waiting for me to write little notes on them, address them and send them out! Woot!
Are you sending out Christmas Cards? Have you ever made your own? Pam (who shared Uppercase Thanksgiving with us last Sunday) makes the most delightful Christmas cards ever. I forgot to add that to her intro. Handmade cards are by far my favourite, but how can you do that for more than 5 people? I’m gonna stop procrastinating now, but in case I forget later,
I create resources to help people find deeper, more meaningful relationships with God through pursuing, pondering, and prayer. The "Shop" link above will take you to the home of many of the lovely resources I’ve created to help you keep walking one day deeper with Jesus.
I think you look wonderfully, beautifully, amazingly, with-child! Your card is precious and we too love Shutterfly!
Merry Christmas to you too!!!
Casey
Thanks, Casey! I was afraid it wouldn’t be obvious and it would seem like a strange photo choice! Yay! 🙂
Caroline, I thought maybe you had spilled something on your shirt as they were snapping the photo. Are you glancing at your belly? Just kidding. I knew what it was. And I love love love that shirt or dress or whatever top you have on. So pretty.
You are hilarious! Glad it’s obvious, and glad you guys let me know so I’m not sending them out concerned. 🙂
I ordered my cards from Shutterfly yesterday thanks to their 50 free cards for bloggers! I’m looking forward to getting mine. I also have about 75 to address! Yikes! Love the preggers picture! You look adorable!
Thanks, Nat! I’m glad you can tell I’m preggers!! Since I’d already ordered my cards these will be for my Mom! Yay! Thanks Shutterfly!
Beautiful cards!! But did Shutterfly send these to Africa?? I used to live in the USA and it was so easy to order cards, but here in South Africa I have never used an American company anymore and go to a local printer, although they don’t have the design choices of the USA! How did you do that??
Hi Mireille! Since I am in the US for the holidays this year I ordered them here and had them all shipped to my Mom’s, and I’ll send them out individually, here in the US and back to SA and the UK. I struggled to find a company that would do personalised cards online, too in SA. If I find something, I will let you know. Please do the same! 🙂
