Thank you, Moo.com,
for bringing sexy back to stationery!
Anyone here like to write letters? You know...like back in the day before cell phones, email, texting, tweeting, blogging, etc? And remember all those awesome black and white postcards that your grandma has stashed in her photo collection? The ones you find in antique stores and flea markets?
Well, I'm starting a revolution! With the help of Moo.com, I'm bringing sexy back to photo postcards and hand-written notes! Check out how Moo postcards make my photos look high-end and fabulous. The sleek gloss finish makes them look some kind o' sexy, huh? Wouldn't you love to receive one of these sexy postcards in the mail?
I wanted a way to capture some of my summer memories and share them with people. After thinking about it for a while, I remembered Moo.com (I've ordered business cards from them in the past and loved them) and that they had postcards. So, I thought I'd give the Moo postcards a shot and surprise my family with postcards from our summer vacation together and my junking friends with shots from Junkologie Blog Party 2010. I gathered up some of my favorite shots...most you have seen here on this lil' ol' blog...and uploaded them on the Moo.com site. Easy peasy!
Y'all want to know how I did it? Just in case you do...
SUMMER MEMORIES POSTCARDS
SUPPLIES
- digital photos that I took (can be one photo or all different photos)

STEP 1: If you are in the U.S., go to http://us.moo.com/products/ to see the screen above. You can see all the card options they offer. I selected "More about Postcards." |

STEP 9: When I found them in the mailbox, I ran into the house and found a special spot to write my very first set of photos postcards. These will be the "antique memories" of tomorrow! |
I love that Moo.com allows you to have a different photo or graphic on each card if you want. It's so great for anyone who likes to take and share photos! They use something called Printfinity. I'm not sure how it works, but I love that it does!! I already ordered a set of their Moo MiniCards for some fun fall projects. Stay tuned for those!! This is my first time ordering those as well, but my friend, Mindy, had some great MiniCards at the Round Top show last year. I know they are fabulous!

What'cha think?
How are you gonna bring sexy back to your stationery?
What a great idea! We all need a personal letter/postcard in the mail from time to time. Sometimes email just don't send the same love. Thank you for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links. I will be checking them out

I have a stationary addiction...among my many addictions LOL. There is nothing like beautiful papers and these are wonderful. SEa Witch
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea and such a wonderful way to share photos. As a chronic picture taker, this is SO MUCH up my alley. I'm thinking Christmas gifts, even...
ReplyDeleteYou ought to link this to the End of the Summer Blast at singingwiththebirds blogspot. This is a great idea for preserving summer!!
(Singing with the birds did not pay me for this endorsement. Grin...)
Amy, wonderful post and info about Moo! I'm so glad they're working with my favorite group of crafty gals ~ The DIY Club Inc! I get my business cards (the mini-cards) from MOO and always get tremendous compliments on them. MOO's quality is really exceptional, and they have so many amazing products. I've been wanting to order some of their flip-books and custom sticker-books, and now I'll be adding postcards to my wish list!
ReplyDeleteyes, welcome to the club - obviously you know that I already applaud sending a personal note through the mail every once in a while - postcards are the perfect way to say "I'm thinking of you" or "thank you" - short, sweet and so much more personal than an email! your cards look great!

Just came across your site and loving it after only seeing a few post! Sometimes I think us bloggers are all on the same wave length…..I just wrote a post about the ancient art of snail mail! I think I’ve come across another one another person’s blog as well. I LOVE the idea of printing out photography post cards!! I’ve been using some blank stationary that I’ve fancied up but photo post cards sound right up my alley. I’m trying to think who I haven’t sent a cards to recently so I can order some of these bad boys.
ReplyDeleteAnywho hope you have a lovely weekend. I’m off to see what I’ve miss on your blog.

What fun you've been having with Moo Amy. I just rec'd my first batch of 200 mini moo cards last week and am loving them. So exciting!
ReplyDeleteLove that you thought to do this for the holidays and to bring back the vintage love of postcards.
Happy Holidays to you and Ron.
