$50 Gift Certificate Giveaway!!

I was contacted by Hallmark.com to review their personalized card service. They offer cards for baby showers, birth announcements, wedding events, graduations, holidays, thank yous and MORE!

They were generous to offer me a $50 gift card to use for my review.  My beloved cousin was due to have her first child, so I decided to use that occasion to send photo cards.

The card selection is great! Many options, colors, and layouts.  My favorite is that you can zoom, shift, and recolor the pictures on the website! I've played with having to crop my pictures and RE-upload on other sites to get the pictures to meet my ever-so-anal-retentive standards.  Also, not only can you change the text but the FONT and add a picture on the back of the card! I was VERY excited!

Beyond the design options, Hallmark goes a step further than other card sites I've used...they stamp, address and SEND the cards!  My cousin provided me her list of recipients and I was able to have the cards sent directly to the individuals!  I ordered the cards late on Tuesday night and had a card (as one of her addressees) in my mailbox by Friday!  They have the option of delaying delivery - if you're one of those that works ahead - or having all cards shipped to you for addressing and stamping yourself.  A great bonus!!


When I received my card, I was overjoyed! The design textures were BETTER than those shown on the website! I'm so glad they turned out so beautifully to announce the birth of my cousin's precious baby boy!!

The process was not without its glitches.  I have a pop-up blocker on my computer that kept me from proceeding after I had designed my card.  I had to reload the site after giving www.Hallmark.com an exception in my pop-up blocker (Tools - Options - Pop-up Blocker Exceptions).  Also the address list my cousin sent had a "Name" field instead of the required "First Name" and "Last Name" fields which made uploading to the website a bit hairy.  Neither of these issues were a deal-breaker - and now that you know ahead of time, they won't be an issue if you choose to go there.
