MY THOUGHTS:
Every year I send out Photo cards for Christmas. I got the chance this year to order some Holiday cards from Cardstore.com and I was excited to check them out. My first impression with Cardstore is that they have a lot to offer, but luckily everything is organized by category: Photo Cards, Thank You Cards, Kids and Babies, Occasions, Holiday Cards, and Stationery. Then within each category are tons more options to choose from. The only drawback though is there really is a lot to choose from and I wasn’t able to narrow it down to much once I chose the type of card I wanted to customize. For example, I like to search by Number of Pictures since sometimes I want more a certain number of pictures on the card. To show just how many choices they have as an example too on the Flat 5×7 Christmas Cards there are 16 pages of cards to choose from.
The way Cardstore works is you choose your card, Personalize it and you can pay for just one card or the more you buy the cheaper the cards get. Most cards are between $2-$3 each, but go down to under $2 if you buy a lot. Personalizing my Photo Card was super easy too and there was no special software to download or anything, very user friendly. My favorite feature though is that you can just buy 1 card if you want because sometimes I want to pick out different cards for different people and occasions or I may want a Flat card or a Folded card. I ended up ordering (20) 7×5 inches Flat Cards for $31.80 plus $5 shipping. Overall, my process at Cardstore was very easy and I would definitely shop there again.
