Country Christmas

Here is a card I'm working on for my cousin. She has the cutest family! Love this design--it is specially sized for the 6x7.5 photo paper, but can be modified to fit any card!

I saw this color scheme on a website and just loved the burgandy and grey together. Just a simple, fun design!

Exotic Christmas

Here is another card for a repeat customer. I thought the way all the colors came together was awesome! This was a 5x7 2-sided cardstock order.

Request the "Exotic Christmas" design for yourself!

Elvis Santa Custom Card

I have the sweetest customer out in Nashville. She is an amazing Elvis artist and this is the second year I've done her cards. She opted for the 2-sided cardstock so here is the front and back. I think they turned out great!

Email me at info(at)preciouspostmarks.com if you would like me to use the same design for you!

First of all, I know that there are many options when choosing custom photo cards and inviations. That's why I have choosen to keep Precious Postmarks small and personable so that each of my customers feels unique and cared for. With your order, you will get the option of changing anything and everything about your cards. Want to add another photo? No problem! Change fonts, colors, or wording? Consider it done! Whatever you have in mind, I can create and make a reality.

2. Email me at info(at)preciouspostmarks.com to let me know you would like to place an order. I will ask you specific questions about the card you would like and have you email me the photos you want to use.

Please visti this post for Pricing information.

Photo Cards
Photo cards are printed on high-quality photographic paper. They are one-sided and come in three sizes: 4x6, 5x7, and 6x7.5 inches.

Single-Sided Cardstock Cards
We are now offering single-sided cardstock cards printed on a heavy, matte cardstock. These cards are similar to flat cards sold at Tinyprints and Shutterfly. Price decreases the more you buy.

2-Sided Cardstock Cards
All of our designs can also be printed on high-quality cardstock. These cards are full-color, double-sided prints available in two sizes: 4 x 5.5 inches, and 5x7 inches.

There are three paper types you can order from:
Satin Matte Cardstock – card is printed on 100 lb. quality cardstock. The cards come in a smooth-textured matte finish.
Pearl Finish – card has a subtle sheen on both sides that make colors pop. This paper is the thickest of all the double-sided cardstocks.
Linen Finish – card has the look and light texture of finely woven cloth.

Because the cards are 2-sided, additional photos, text, and other information (directions, maps, etc.) can be printed on the back. The front design carries over to the back of the card (unless custom design is requested) and includes a small Precious Postmarks logo.

These cards are gorgeous and great for when you really want to make a statement or lasting memory. Cardstock cards are printed in sets of 25 only.

Please email me at info(at)preciouspostmarks.com with any questions about ordering options.
