Disclosure: Thank you to Shutterfly and Collective Voice for sponsoring today’s post. All products were selected, designed, and loved by yours truly.
I’m embarrassed to admit, but it’s been years [we’re talking double-digit years] since we have had Christmas cards in the Schrader household. Back when we first got married, a whopping 19 years ago, I created some, and then after that first precious year of marriage, I let life take over and quickly became that person who would say every November, “I should do Christmas cards this year!” and then come January think “oops, well, there’s always this next year!”
Now that Crew is in tow and we were fortunate enough to get some cute fall family photos taken, I knew it was time to make it happen – no more excuses. All it took was about a 5-minute visit to Shutterfly, and within a few days, they were at my door! Does somebody have a “that was easy” button I can push because wow, that was easy. Shutterfly has the cutest offerings of Christmas & Holiday Cards, and as long as you know how to upload a photo, the rest is easy peasy, 1, 2, 3 thanks to their pre-made designs and templates!
I chose this simplistic style with 3 photo spots, which worked perfectly for capturing the vibe of our fall shoot. You can change the color to any choice of your liking and pick your background design as well. The quality is next level [I went with their signature smooth cardstock], and the print quality was amazing! The best part: you can use my code LIVINGYELLOW40 for 40% off on orders $40+. Code is stackable and works sitewide!
While I didn’t do this, you can upload a file with the addresses you’re mailing your cards to, and they will do the addressing for you! That means your cards will show up in the mail, ready to go, all you have to do is put a stamp on them, and you’re done! OR if you really want to take ALL of the work out of mailing, they will stamp them and mail them for you! It’s like having a personal assistant at the click of a button!
If you love the idea of doing a Christmas or Holiday card but don’t want to spend hours making it happen, Shutterfly will be your best friend! I promise. I think I may have just become that person who is now doing Christmas cards every year from here on out.
Another reason I love Shutterfly? All of their gifting options — you truly have so many opportunities to make something that means something. While I was browsing their site, I couldn’t pass up the idea to make a puzzle of our family cruise to gift to my family at Christmas! All I had to do was select which style of puzzle I wanted, upload the photo[s], and then they went to work making it into a 520-piece puzzle to keep my family entertained re-living our summer vacation while hunkered down over Christmas break!
I can’t wait to give this to them this Christmas! And just like that, I have my first gift bought and my holiday cards taken care of! Thank you, Shutterfly, for being the easiest one-stop shop for personalized gifts that will mean so much this season!
