CLOSED: The Card Crate Review and Giveaway (BTSC- Day 7)

The winner for the giveaway has been chosen by Random.org and is announced on this post.

Remember the time you placed that order for those custom made beautiful photo cards to announce your baby's birth and halfway through mailing the cards out, you realize...oops....maybe we should have ordered more? You know the sinking feeling you had as you signed off that check for another sweet chunk off your bank balance and thought..."maybe we should have just sent out store bought cards and stuck a photo on them"? Been there?

Sara, the founder of The Card Crate has been there too and realized as a Stay at Home Mom and one income coming in, it wasn't really worth it to order expensive custom made photo cards, let alone reorder.Thus birthed The Card Crate.


The Card Crate designs the perfect card for you and ....wait for it....you can print it ANYWHERE!! (at home, your favorite digital printer or just send it via email.) ...Cha-ching!!! Hear the savings already?

All pre-designed cards are only 10$. This includes text, font, color, and any number of picture changes along with cropping and minor editing of photos. Custom designed cards cost 25$.


The Card Crate offers Birth Announcements, Invitations (birthday, kids, anniversary, shower), Save the Date Cards, Moving Announcements, Thank You Notes, Holiday Cards, Graduation Announcements, and ofcourse Custom Designs. A new Holiday line will also be released on October 1,2009.


What's neat is you don't have to be limited to choosing a card for your occasion from that specific category alone. (For example, if you like the baby shower card that goes with your birth announcement train of thought, well go right ahead and pick that!) It is your card, your experience and The Card Crate ensures you have what you want...mmm correction...what you love at the lowest possible price.


Ordering your card is easy. Choose your preferred card design, fill in the details in the custom from, attach your photographs and send it along. That simple! You don't have to email your photographs separately and all card proofs will be sent for your approval within a 24 hour time bracket.
