When Just Any Ordinary Christmas Card Won’t Do

This is my first year with a little one and I absolutely could not wait to show her off this Christmas season. What better way to show off the unimaginable cuteness of my daughter than to showcase her beautiful smile on this year’s Christmas card?

I was delighted to find Moon and Back Studio’s unique, sophisticated, and stylish holiday card collection. There are many options available to suit anyone’s taste. The Christmas cards include your own photos that you upload on the site. Taking your own photo or using a favorite photo that you have already taken gives you enormous creative control to create the perfect card. I picked the “retro ornament” card design first, before taking Ace’s photo. Then I kept the card design in mind as I was photographing Ace in the backyard. The result is that I have a fabulous Christmas card that will be the star on every mantle.

The best part of Moon and Back Studios is that the price of the card includes photo enhancement. You can choose from four different photo enhancement options: vivid color, classic black and white, retro sepia, and designer’s choice. I chose “designer’s choice,” because my untrained eye would not know what is best. The photo I chose did not have the best lighting, but it was the one with the best smile. I sent the photo, hoping that it could be corrected. I could not be happier with the enhancements. They made my very-amateur photo, look like a professional photo.

Here is the photo before enhancements:

Here is the same photo after enhancements:

Many of the Christmas cards also have the option of using the sample’s color scheme or matching the color scheme to the photo. They will also crop the photo for the best fit on the card. It was certainly nice to have someone do that for me, instead of spending the time to think about the cropping and positioning.

Once you have customized your card and purchased your order, they will send you an electronic copy of your card to proof. I received my proof the next day. I only had one minor spelling correction to make and they were shipped out the very next day! I received my package the day after it was shipped. There is only one shipping option at checkout, but the shipping was incredibly fast. Myra at Moon and Back Studios was very prompt and courteous with my order.

I have been showing my new Christmas card to my friends and several of them have suggested that I frame my card! I know that my family and friends will love the Christmas card of our little one when it arrives in their mailbox. I am extremely delighted with my Christmas card from Moon and Back Studios.
