Recently, I had the pleasure of trying out a few items from Cardstore.com. It took a few days to figure out what to pick and I had fun customizing different cards…especially the photo cards. In the end though, I decided on some mommy cards, something different from my Seeryus Mama cards. Why? Well, I just a few days before, Johnny’s baseball coach needed our contact information. Seeryus Mama is MY contact and blog info, I really needed something that reflects my mom-ness and mom duties.
As you can see from the card on the left, I was able to customize the card to my liking. I picked out the font and font color. That particular card has several other color combination’s with the brown, the pink and brown happens to be my favorite. What good is a card that only has my name on the front? In the second picture in this post, you can see the back of the card, which I was able to customize with the information I wanted. (Sorry, the flowers are a bit of photo editing on my part. It’s not that I don’t want the phone calls…I just don’t want the digits falling into the wrong hands!) Along with the mommy cards came a green card holder (pictured center). It’s just that little something that takes their product above and beyond.
Cardstore.com has prided themselves on their green. And by green I mean eco-conscious practices.
Cardstore.com prints most of our cards on recycled, eco-friendly paper from Mohawk. This paper is made up of 100% post-consumer waste, is processed chlorine free and is Green Seal Certified. In addition our paper is manufactured entirely with wind-generated electricity.
They make what they sell and they stay away from mass production in order to keep unused product out of the landfills.
In addition to my mommy cards, I personalized several different thank you cards, and picked my favorite, the hot pink below. I left the inside blank, but there were many options to jazz it up. From photos to different text options…surely there is something for everyone!
Cardstore.com is affordable. I was able to get two sets of cards (50 cards in total) and the pink card that I’m hanging on my bulletin board for under $35.00. I was surprised how fast items arrived at my house. I don’t mind the extra wait time for personalized items, but my items from Cardstore.com had a fairly quick turnaround time. It was surprising! It was a great shopping experience and I will be purchasing from them again.
