I am pretty sure most of the cards have made it to their final destinations. So here's our fun holiday card. I used overnightprints.com and was super pleased. They even rounded the corners for me. These fit into an A2 envelope and I had a bunch in holiday colors from Paper Source. That photo was taken at the photobooth at a fun wedding we attended back in May.

    We were going through the cards last night at dinner and yours is Anna’s favorite. She’s a little afraid of Paul but loves it nonetheless. She says he’s “scary” and she might see him at Disneyland someday (I think she thinks he’s a pirate).

    Love it. I like the letter. It’s just enough to fill people in without being too little or too much.

    Super cool, Elise – love it! Just out of curiosity, did you think this was a good deal? Great that they could round the corners and offer matte finish, too.

    for some reason my head was turned the entire time while reading that…
    but I love the line of “hug your loved ones tight the holiday season”. reminded me to be grateful to be surrounded by family this christmas. so thanks for that!

    I paid about $40 for 100 so I considered it a deal. 🙂

    SO excited to see this! Are these postcards from overnightprints? I am currently designing the save-the-date for our wedding and was planning on doing a non-gloss postcard from overnight prints. If they turn out anything like yours, I’ll be more than pleased 🙂

    These look awesome! Simple but very striking. I’ve never seen ones quite like that. I love how your holiday letter is part of the card.

    I’m amazed with the typewriter font and design in your card, which can also be a postcard. The retro look kinda reminds me of the 60s. I hope you and your husband enjoy a wonderful New Year!

    Elise I hope you don’t mind, but I have totally stolen this design idea for my cards this year. I just love it. However I will not be using a picture of you and Paul on mine (…no offense….), but I did love the black and white photo with the red banners and typewriter font.
    If you have an affiliate link for overnightprints.com please let me know and I will use it for sure.
