This is the 4th year we used the same card. ..with updated photos, of course. We really like it and get terrific feedback on the 200 that we send out, but each year I have had trouble getting the brightness of the photos to be consistent on the card (I use a collage of 4-5 pictures). I would recommend that an option for a printed "draft" be available and sent to buyers to ensure color/brightness if correct before going to final print. This year they came out very dark so we were a bit disappointed.
There are so many products out there on the web and so much hype for each one that it's difficult to make a purchasing decision that you can have confidence in. Cards Direct was a good choice for me. My card order was simple. There were enough possibilities in fonts and message placement to allow for creativity and control over the finished product. Uploading my photo was easy. The price was very competitive. The finished product was better than I expected. The preview was totally accurate for "seeing" the finished product (I calibrate my monitor regularly, and I believe that helps). Delivery was fast! Quality of materials used (papers) was very good! I am a former printer and therefore I'm pretty picky about my printed materials. I will use Cards Direct again for my custom card purchases assuming they don't suddenly jack up the prices or make other changes. I'd say that's pretty good in a world where people have grown used to online shopping disappointment.
This card was so much better than the photo Christmas card we did at a national drug chain in 2011. Your card stock was awesome, and the envelopes -- with the self-sealing strip and no licking -- were the best. You have my business from now on!
Product was just like I ordered. Amen to that!
This is the fourth year that I have used CardsDirct and I always get many compliments. The quality is great.
