Shutterfly Cards: Your Go To Site For The Holiday Season ($50 Gift Card Giveaway Opportunity)

October 9, 2013


Shutterfly has sponsored this post, and because of that, we are so lucky to benefit from a Win-It-Wednesday for one lucky reader!  Our giveaway is a code for $50 off your total order (plus free shipping) at Shutterfly.com!  Isn’t that awesome?  


I’ve been perusing the website, a bit obsessively, to pick the cards I love most.  I can’t seem to narrow it down beyond these.  My top 5 holiday cards are:

The “Shine So Bright” Hanukkah card looks so sharp
with a B&W photo.  And the trendy chevron
design makes it really sharp!
Ah, one of my favorite sayings!
And I have 3 cherubs, so it showcases them well.
I also like that it’s respectful of the different holidays.
Ain’t that the truth!
And it opens so you can write a personalized
message to family and friends.
I love how many photo spots this one holds.
And I think a square card looks so classy.

The Geometric Border card is great because you can create your own greeting. At first glance, this one just looks so classy!

Plus, you can customize it to add 1 to 5 photos. I should also mention that there are new card design styles for 2013 – 5×7 folded tri-fold & back of card designs:


Classic: Traditional colors, iconic illustrations, aspirational sentiments, snowflakes, monogramo   Contemporary: trend forward colors, texture and layering, water color techniques, shine, glitter, Instagram pictures are perfect for this styleo   Whimsy: humor and nostalgia meet, fun sentimentso   Merry and Bright: all about color and having funo   Religious: metallic type treatments, incorporated story ideaso   Photo Basics: multiple colors, vertical type, family name highlights
For $50 you can really purchase a LOT of holiday cards, or just pick out the right amount and use the rest of that money to buy some holiday photo gifts!  Here are two of my favorites:
This iPad Case is great for a loved one
who may be getting an iPad for a gift!
There are Dry Erase Decals!  And their uses are endless.
I would change “Notes” to say “Menu” and
this makes the perfect gift for my Mommy friends!
