CardsDirect Product Review

I was recently asked to review some greeting cards from CardsDirect.com. I received my sample package just a few days ago and was so excited to look through their lovely cards. From Christmas cards to birth announcements and everything in between, CardsDirect has beautiful cards for all occasions.

Their holiday cards are particularly interesting and they make nice use of foil imprints and other special effects that make their cards look sparkling and inviting. I think my favorite was this cute photo birth announcement pictured above. You can personalize all of CardsDirect cards with photos and your own personal greetings and then they'll print them out for you on high quality card stock and send them to you.

So if you're looking for some unique cards in the future and want an easy and affordable way to get good quality, personalized cards then do yourself a favor and visit CardsDirect.com.

Personalize Your Party

Just yesterday I had the opportunity to work on a custom order for one of my Etsy customers who wanted a fondant cupcake topper personalized with a monogram. I love this idea for weddings, showers, parties, etc. You can use either an initial or an age and can work in any color you choose.

To make this topper, I simply cut out a 2 inch circle of blue fondant and then used an imprint kit from Wilton to imprint the letter "R" in the fondant. Then I brushed the whole thing with blue shimmer dust. I think the final look was pretty effective.

These are really easy to make yourself or you can always contact me through my Etsy store and order some. So have some fun and personalize your next party!
