Don’t get stressed out but Christmas is quickly approaching. Are you getting ready? Christmastime is the most wonderful time of the year by far. However, with all the added responsibilities put on moms, it can be the most stressful time as well. The #1 focus on our minds is Christmas Shopping. It is the most time consuming as we try to search for the perfect gift for everyone we love. Although Christmas shopping takes a lot of time, all the little things like decorating for Christmas, cookie baking, Christmas parties, school functions, snowman building, greeting card mailing, Christmas clothing shopping, family portraits, and taking care of our families take up the same, if not more of our time!
For me, I live by to-do lists. I keep a daily and weekly check list of things to do to keep me going in the right direction. I just love crossing out line items on my to-do list! The sooner I can check something off the better, like greeting cards. It is one activity that I actually enjoy but never give myself enough time to do. Designing a card is fun but addresses the cards, going to the post office to wait in mile-long lines for stamps, stamping the cards, and mailing them out is not fun. What if I told you about a company that gives you all the fun of designing a family Christmas card but takes away all the hassles of mailing them out? You can, with Cardstore.com!

I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Cardstore. I received complimentary cards and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

You can even select the date for it to be mailed! How easy is that?!
It was so hard to choose between the lovely Christmas cards. You can browse their most popular cards but sort by theme from photo cards to religious cards. Or, shop by the # of photos you want to include in your card or by style from vintage to whimsical.
I chose a religious card. I was impressed by their selection since many card stores carry only a few religious cards these days. Once I selected the card I wanted, it was super simple to design! You can upload photos from practically anywhere from your computer to facebook, instagram, flickr, and dropbox.
After I added our photo, I customized the bottom with Love, The Orley Family.
I love this Christmas card. The Christmas cards with photos and personalization always get put up on the mantel and kept for years to come. Cardstore offers many beautiful options that your family will enjoy displaying this season and keep for years to come.
It is so easy to have Cardstore mail the cards too. I just inputting the address and hit “ship”. They add the fee for stamps to each card and you don’t have to wait in the mile-long line at the post office! Now it is your turn to design your Christmas card! Let Cardstore take a few Christmas to-do line items off of your list this year! It will be a huge relief to have this time-consuming task done. It couldn’t be easier.
