When I reached into my stationery basket to find a pretty card, I discovered that I am completely out of note cards. I try to stock up so that when I need to write a short note or a thank you note, I have some cute things to write on.

I have been checking for some new ideas from CardsDirect. I see that they have Photo Cards! That would be something new and different. I like that idea because I can personalize the note card to fit any type of occasion. I can put a goofy or serious photo on the cover and then write anything I want on the front and inside of the card. Ok, let’s see how this works.

1. Login to the CardsDirect website and check out Photo Cards and Custom Photo Greeting Cards

2. Pick the card you like.
I love the black and white choices and the sepia ones are my favorite but for the photo I want to use, I think the full color custom petite card is the one I will try.

3. Change the greeting to an everyday greeting. Put the picture of my choice into the website. Choose that I want the lined envelopes that are included and that I want my return address printed on them.

4. Wait until I receive an electronic proof via email showing me exactly how my cards will look before my photo card order is printed. I can make changes if necessary.

That is all there is to it! Easy. They make the cards on heavy weight paper so all my note cards are of a wonderful quality. They offer a money back guarantee so if I am not satisfied, I can have some recourse to take. I doubt that will be a problem. This company is well respected and offers quality, professionally printed products.

This is an example of the type of card you can choose from and make into one that fits your needs. I love it and will love the way I changed it to have my picture and greeting even better.
