This is the second year of purchasing printed holiday cards for my mother to send out. Last year's was beautiful with heavy card stock and she received many compliments. She enjoys a traditional image, and last year's was as beautiful as this one. I am somewhat disappointed in the card stock quality of this one, it being quite a bit lighter than last year's card. Also, we chose green ink which is not very bold, and the font is rather large such as a "Reader's Digest" version. Other than that, I would highly recommend this card for the beauty of the image on the cover and suggest not ordering the green ink. A darker, bolder ink would have been much more stunning on an elegant card and that is what I was expecting. Service at CardsDirect is exemplary.
