I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Cardstore. I received complimentary cards and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

If you still haven’t made out your holiday cards, don’t panic!  It’s one of those things on my holiday to-do list that I am chronically late in accomplishing.  Once I realize I haven’t actually done our Christmas cards, I send myself into panic mode choosing them, addressing them, and actually getting them all sent off.  Each year, I swear to myself I will always do better, but I never do.  This time of the year is always so busy at home, work, and at school that I find myself right back in the same situation as the years before.

I’m proud to say it’s not happening this year!  Thanks to Cardstore, all of my cards are signed, sealed, and about to be delivered and I couldn’t be more thrilled or satisfied with them.  Cardstore is an innovative online resource that removes the hassle from mailing out holiday cards. Once you create your custom cards with personalized pictures, messages, and signature, Cardstore will print, stamp and send the cards for you – helping to take one huge item off your already full holiday to-do list.  To see how easy it is was for me to create our Christmas cards this year, check out my experience using Cardstore for the first time.

I ultimately decided I wanted to see a family picture for our card this year, so for my sample card, I chose this:

The paper quality was excellent.  I literally received my card two days after I ordered it.  I couldn’t believe how fast the turnaround time for that was!  I am so pleased with our card and I know our friends and family will be also.

Cardstore wants you to be able to own the top of the mantel this holiday season by sending beautiful and thoughtful seasons greetings to friends and family members.   Whether making everyone’s favorite recipe, picking the best “Secret Santa” gift, or choosing the holiday card everyone looks forward to receiving, there is always a little bit of friendly competition during the holiday season.  Cardstore holiday cards will give your holiday card that extra special something that will definitely make it memorable to everyone who receives one.

So, head on over to http://po.st/PersonalizeYourCard, personalize your own holiday card, and have one of your holiday tasks crossed off your list in a matter of minutes!  In order to ensure delivery by Christmas Eve, you will need to place your holiday card order with Cardstore by December 16.
