It is now officially Christmas season! I know some have started decorating and celebrating and preparing before now, but today, Black Friday, is the official start to the holidays. As such I thought it only appropriate to do another Card Corner post on one of our Christmas Themed cards. First Noel This template is designed to show off a large photo of a family or group but still convey a seasonally appropriate message. From wikipedia, the term “Noel” is defined: Noel (or noël, som... Read Full Story

Recently my wife and I were going through some things from a closet in our spare bedroom. You know the closet, everybody has one…where all your stuff goes into deep storage and is largely forgotten. This time, we came across something that sparked an idea for me. The item was a Kate Spade handbag (that’s the very bag & box pictured to the right…we ended up selling it on ebay), and it was the packaging that really stood out to me. It seems that every designer of fashion p... Read Full Story

One might think to oneself, “There’s really nothing odd about Thanksgiving. It’s a pretty boring, bland holiday in which we consume large amounts of turkey, stuffing, vegetables, rolls and pumpkin pie.”  I would tend to agree with you.  However, not being satisfied with not digging up at least SOME odd history about this holiday, I persevered and was able to find a few things that I thought might interest you.  Somewhat.  (If you haven’t caught on, this post is a...

Drawing on the continued success of our recent photo contests, we’re doing another one, but this time it’s families! In some way it’s just part of the natural progression that was begun with the Cute Babies photos, then the cute kid photos…onto the cute couples and now…our Cute/Fun/Unique Families Contest. Here’s some of the details… The winner gets 100 Holiday Photo Cards free featuring their photo! If you are the winner, you can send us your desig... Read Full Story

The results are in, and let me say that this was a tough one. I never would have though that it could be more difficult than the cute kids/babies contests…but it was. It seems that the overall photo quality (composition, depth of field, props, etc.) played some role in the voting, but in the end it was the couples themselves that everyone focused on in their selection process. Who looked the “cutest” together was the end result. After the voting was complete there was a stan... Read Full Story

Twitter is one of those social sites/communication tools that seems to be fairly polarizing in a number of ways. The average twitter user most likely has to defend his/her use of it weekly if not more. For some reason there’s a gap (perhaps widening, perhaps not) of those who know and love twitter and those who disparage its very existence. Whatever the reason, whatever the cause, we here have decided to embrace this medium and use it as best we can. To that end, I have distilled the to... Read Full Story

If you’re a business or represent one, you probably have started thinking about Christmas. Why? Because you know that it’s important to show your customers, clients, vendors, etc. that you care and are grateful for their contributions to the success of your business, right??? I believe that the best, easiest, most effective way to do this is by creating and giving your own Christmas or Holiday Cards. We’ve just launched our line of business greeting cards (5 by 7) that are s... Read Full Story

Bowdabra is one of those products that should probably be filed under the “Wish I thought of that” category. A very simple product addressing a fairly common need…Bow making. It really does make any gift look polished and elegant. A while ago we sought (and obtained) permission from the inventor of this product to use the how-to videos on Youtube. Little did we know that the Hair Bow video would be our number 1 most viewed video. We’ve posted various things about the b... Read Full Story
