Aside from thank you gifts, I was looking for really personal thank you messages for the hostesses of my baby shower, Ruth and Kelly, Ruth’s personal chef, Andrew and my sister Tracey. You know how I feel about thank you cards.
Here are some cards I made recently through Treat. It’s a Shutterfly company specializing in personalized cards you can create online and have sent to you or directly to your recipients. Treat had invited me to try out some of their cards and this was great timing.
I have made photo cards before but I wanted something more personal, less pre-made looking or themed and easy. There are some options that allow you to basically make the card exactly how you want it. I chose a plain photo card, uploaded photos, dragged and dropped the photos into the layouts I chose and filled in some text boxes.
The site loads very quickly, it is super intuitive, gets straight to the point and I was able to create like a mini-scrapbook of photos for my recipients. Even the little photo on the back is customizable. I put in a rose from Ruth’s garden. You can save your projects and come back to them.
I would love to get a card like this.
What kinds of personalized gifts or cards have you received that were very special to you?

So cool! And what pretty ways to make your personalized thank you cards! That backdrop of the flower/vine wall and your flower crowns make it all so pretty! I’ll have to check out that site – it looks pretty easy to use!

Thank you, Jessica! This is perfect for all the photos! I’m so glad you like the the photos! I can only imagine what you could do with photos plus lettering on cards! Incredible!
Abby says
You are so thoughtful! I love how personal these thank you cards are, and they will make great keepsakes, too! I definitely want to try Treat in the near future because I’ve seen such good things. I am happy to hear it loads quickly because that’s one of my pet peeves when I’m trying to create photo projects online!

This is so cool and such a good idea!
Christina Warren says
Thank you, Jessi! It’s like the quick and dirty version of what I used to do-print photos, crop them and past them to a card. These look so much better and they save me sooo much time! Yay!

I clicked this because I got so freaked out the image that showed up in the feed had my name “Tracey” and spelled the rare way that I spell it! Those thank you cards are a great idea.
Christina Warren says
Oh COOOL! I LOVE my sister’s name! I always wished my name was a little more unique! 😉 Thank you!!
