Storkie Express Holiday Photo Card Review (& Giveaway Ends 10/25)

ABOUT:

Since 1990, Storkie Express has been providing its customers with quality, affordable custom printed invitations, Birth Announcements and Thank You Cards.  Each and every order is given individual attention to ensure every order is the finest product possible.  The categories to shop from are Baby, Religious, Wedding, Party, Graduation, and Holiday.

MY THOUGHTS:

I got the chance to customize Christmas Cards and return address printing.  First off I have to say the whole process was easy, quick and painless.  I chose the Reindeer Game Photo.  First, I inputted our Family Last name and members, then uploaded a photo.  Next, the software (which you don’t have to install) pops up and offers tips.  Then if you are happy with your photo, you have three proofing options to choose from:  Print as shown, Storkie is permitted to make stylistic/grammar changes, or Receive a proof in your Storkie account to view and approve the photo yourself.  Finally, you are ready to finish up your order, envelopes are already included, but you can add extra envelopes, return address printing, lined inner envelopes or even calligraphy.

The prices are reasonable (about $1.50 each) plus shipping and the turnaround is very fast.  The whole ordering process took a few minutes (of course that was after I figured out which photo and card design I was using) and the cards were in my hand in about a week.

Once I received the cards I was super excited.  First, they came in a nice cardboard box which protected them in shipping.  When I opened the box I was pleasantly surprised at how nice they look!  They are a thicker cardboard material and the printing looks great!  They are not glossy which I was disappointed at first, but I actually think I like this way better and they look more real and raw!  The printing on the cards is perfect and the back is blank which is perfect for writing a note.  The paper is also recycled card stock but you can’t tell.  Overall, I really like my Storie Express cards and am glad I got to check them out!

Whether you are shopping for traditional Christmas cards or Photo Christmas Cards, Storkie Express is a website to check out.  I am very picky when it comes to designs so I tend to shop around until I find one I like, so if you are stuck Storkie Express definitely has a bunch to pick from.
