Shutterfly Holiday Card Review -They're In!

Okay, remember a while back, I did this post about these really cute designs from Shutterfly for Christmas cards? So, I finally found some time to design my own cards and omg, the process was so easy and there were so many effects that I still had a hard time choosing. I'm a little shy about my cards so I'll blog about what I did instead. I thought it'd be fun and hilarious to make a storyline involving my puppy and use the card to break the news to our family and friends that we recently got a new pup. 

Here's the design I used, I liked how it was simple and elegant.  So, basically, in the center frame is our adorable pup and then surrounding that center picture are pictures of us with funny or shocked faces like "Oh no, what have we done!?" I know, I know, you have to use your imagination but they turned out great! There were even effects for the pictures, you could make them black and white or do that hazy look that makes everything kind of dreamy. I got the cards within a week of designing them and I was very pleased with their quality and speed of delivery! I was expecting paper thin cards but they came on these thick high quality photopaper and wow, I am definitely impressed! I think our families will get a pleasant and shocking surprise when they receive these cards.

Until next time,

Shutterfly Holiday Card Review

As I was flipping through the various Christmas card designs at Shutterfly, I found it hard to pick which one was my favorite design. Instead, I've narrowed it down to several of my favorite choices. I loved how they had a range of designs from simplistic with just one photo to several photos. I especially enjoyed how they had all sorts of cards, some fun, some elegant, and honestly, if I had a choice, I'd get some of each kind!


1) Mod Snowflakes Christmas Card -I love the bright colors on this one, it just makes it look fun and I can't resist it! The only thing for me though, is that I have a story I have in mind that I'd like to put on my card so the one picture option may not be for me. But still, colors and snowflakes all adds up to a funky card.

2) Seasonal Chic Holiday Card -This one is just simple and elegant, a bit more conservative and would definitely be a possible choice for family and friends!

3) Or if you want to create a story like me, Shutterfly offers various holiday story cards. These were a couple of my favorites. I loved how these two designs allow you to use many pictures and the vibrant colors were a bonus!

Shutterfly is an awesome idea for adding that personalized touch to your Christmas and holiday cards at affordable prices. The best news is that Shutterfly is offering 20% off all holiday cards at the moment!
