Paper Locket Customized Photo Holiday Cards: Modern, Stylish Cards Designed to Impress! {Review and Giveaway}

Friday, October 30, 2009 Posted by Jolly Mom

I know I keep saying it, but...I cannot believe we are talking HOLIDAYS and Christmas! Next week is the start of November and if you are anything like us, we like to mail out our Christmas cards at the beginning of December. That means it's definitely time to start thinking about and ordering holiday cards. I am so excited about today's review of Paper Locket because they truly make some of the most beautiful and unique photo, holiday cards that I have personally ever seen!



What's unique about Paper Locket is that they offer more than the traditional, one photo holiday card template. Essentially, you pick out the card design that you like on the Paper Locket website and then you can add one to six of your photos onto any design. You may see a design with only one picture BUT you can add up to six to the design! Paper Locket cards also feature a two-sided design {at no extra charge} and you can request changes to the fonts, colors, and personalize the content.

Check out the benefits of ordering from Paper Locket:
  • 1 - 6 photos on any design
  • 2-sided designs on a flat 5x7 card
  • choose from pearl paper or smooth thick cover
  • white envelopes included
  • return address can be added for .20 each
  • proofs provided in less than 72 hours
  • delivers in 2 business days
I was offered the opportunity to personalize a complimentary set of photo holiday cards for my family as part of the review and the entire process was seamless. Wendy Morales is the owner and photo designer at Paper Locket and let me tell you she is amazing to work with and a total doll! She provided me with a proof of my card within the same day and worked with me on getting the card just right. Shipping was super fast--I had the cards within a couple of days of approving the proof! What really blew me away though was when I opened the box of cards. They are stunning. Wendy used the pearl paper, which is gorgeous. It is thick and has a slight shimmer, which is so perfect for the holidays.

To get an idea of what Paper Locket does, we chose the Crisp card. It looked like this:




We changed the colors to red, green and silver and personalized both the text and message on the card.



About Wendy Morales, owner of Paper Locket:
Owner and photo designer Wendy Morales {a mother of three kids, a wife, and a business owner} has a passion for sharing and showcasing photos. She knows that busy families long for more than an ordinary photo card template. Paper Locket offers just that, a personalized card that is made to order. A card that family and friends will treasure for years. Since childhood, Seattleite Wendy Morales' artistic forte has been arranging and displaying found treasures in a unique and stylish way. When motherhood became the forefront of her life, her treasures clearly became the photos she collected of her children. She opened Paper Locket in 1997 as a paper crafting and online scrapbooking company but soon it evolved into digital arts. Her vision and passion for photo art makes personalization of all-occasion cards, photo books, and custom wall art a simple possibility for anyone.


Want It: A set of 25 personalized cards are priced at about $62.50, which includes 2-sided printing, 1-6 photos on all designs, customize colors, fonts, and greetings, and envelopes. EARLY BIRD SPECIAL! Paper Locket is running a 20% OFF deal for all orders placed by November 15th! Plus, you get free shipping!
