Making Cards the Easy Way

So I have made no secret about the fact that I am paper-crafting challenged. It’s quite sad actually.
No sweet little scrapbooks around here. No handmade cards for family and friends.

Well – at least on the card front I have found a super easy way to give something cute and personal, without the finished result looking like a 3rd grader with both hands in casts made it.

It’s a shop I’ve recently found called Cardstore! Have you heard of it?

It’s my new favorite thing.

It’s an online card store (bet you picked up on that . . ) but it is a lot more! You can personalize so much – from photos to text. And they have all types of cards! Birthday, Anniversary, Announcements, Invitations, Thank You – pretty much anything you can think of!

What about Back to School? You could order a super cute card to celebrate your little one starting Kindergarten – personalized with their NAME! How cool would that be?!

They have lots of great styles – I fell in love with these Arrow Bridal Shower cards! Perfect for a couples shower and so stylish.

They have a whole line of cards designed by Kate Spain too. Just gorgeous. I really liked these Moving Announcements! The graphics are super sweet and you can add fun photos to personalize it!

I had to try the process out for myself of course. Just to see how hard or easy it was. We have a pretty big birthday coming up for my son. 18. Yikes. (sniff sniff)
So I went browsing in the birthday card section.

I really liked that you could sort your searches by lots of different ways. I looked for cards “for him” and “funny”. Because sweet cards are not for this kid. :)

I found a card that’s perfect for him! Yes. The mullet card is just ideal.

Loading your photos is super easy and with this card you can write a note inside, and add pictures inside too! I chose to do a little “walk down memory lane” photo gallery inside.

Oh my gosh those baby pictures. I just want to smoosh him.

Then all you have to do to finish the process is save and purchase! You can send the card straight to your person, or send a blank envelope to yourself so you can hand deliver it. So crazy easy. And it’s all personalized with my text and photos. Win win!!

I can’t wait to give him this card next month!!

I have a super special treat for Flamingo Toes readers from the nice folks at Cardstore too!!

So you can sit down, order all your birthday cards for the year (at 40% off for the next two weeks!!!) and then schedule them all so they are mailed out magically when it’s time. G.E.N.I.U.S. Check out all the details on their Future Send option here!
