The kids are back in school and now it’s time to get started on all of those things you have been putting off until life returned to a normal routine. I’m pretty sure one of those things on your to-do list included the sending of greeting cards.

Maybe you owe someone Thank You Cards or if you are really proactive, perhaps you are ready to get started on your Holiday Cards. Regardless, we have the perfect and affordable solution!

Check out our new line of Custom Photo Cards. For as low as $.83 each for 100 cards you can get a beautiful folded card on a premium satin finish card stock that includes your favorite photograph with your custom imprinted verse and personalization, all with nice envelopes for mailing.

You can even order as few as 10 cards if you want to mix it up a bit and place several orders using different photographs. These cards make great notes for any occasion and, remember, it doesn’t have to be a photograph. You can make cards from your original artwork too.

How would you use custom printed cards?

USPS Butterfly Stamp
I have a co-worker who loves butterflies. She was married a few weeks ago and butterflies were everywhere! There were butterflies incorporated in the reception centerpieces and butterflies beautifully fluttering around the elegant layered wedding cake. How pretty and how indicative of springtime, rebirth and renewal!

On May 17 the US Postal Service is debuting a new butterfly stamp. Had it been out in time, I’m sure my friend would have used it on her wedding invitations. The new 64¢ stamp is a stunner and features an illustration of the familiar orange monarch butterfly. It is perfect for oversize or square greeting cards that require additional postage.

Developed in conjunction with the Greeting Card Association to serve the needs of greeting card manufacturers and their customers who use irregular shaped envelopes, you may begin seeing greeting card envelopes with a faint butterfly outline already printed on them, reminding customers that additional postage is required.

How about these lovely butterfly inspired greeting cards?

Kellan Lutz
Kellan Lutz plays Emmett Cullen, big brother of vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) in the movie, Twilight. A participating celebrity in our Cards for a Cause holiday card charity campaign, Kellan signed the back of his chosen card design with proceeds from the sale of it going to his selected charity, the Royal Family Kids’ Camp.

This is the card design he chose:
Holiday Photo Card PC6566
In November 2008, before the movie released, Kellan confessed in an interview his interests in autographs. “His autograph is elaborate, with each letter fully formed,” said the article. “I like signatures,” confessed Lutz. “I remember growing up just having fun doing it for no reason. I liked practicing.”

Back then he would actually spell out his name, “unlike Robert Pattinson who takes a shortcut by just signing his initials,” claims the article. But Lutz did admit that he knew he’d be doing conventions and events eventually which would require him to sign a minimum of 600 and “wow, it took me an hour to do 50. So I might have to get creative.”

Well, I kinda like his autograph! Take a look at it here and see what you think!

Ricky Gervais
Ricky Gervais visited our table at the HBO Luxury Lounge and chose an exclusive CardsDirect photo holiday card to benefit his charity of choice, the ASPCA. Mr. Gervais wanted to share a photo card with a picture of a cat on it to honor his new pet, but one wasn’t readily available. He can, however, upload his own cat photo for a very special photo holiday card, just as you can too!

Pets are special all year long but especially loved during the holidays. Remember to include them in your family holiday photo or feature them all by themselves! This photo holiday card design Mr. Gervais chose to support will result in a donation to the ASPCA through our Cards for a Cause program

Here are a few more examples to help you visualize how your pet might be included in your holiday photo cards once you send us your favorite pet image.
