Holiday card staff picks: Thao, the traveler

We’re profiling team members at Pear Tree Greetings to show you which unique Christmas card ideas they chose and how they personalized them.

Multi-photo Christmas card

About Thao: My husband and I love to travel. This year I visited Vietnam, Colorado, California (twice), and I am heading to Hawaii in December.

Card she chose: Travels and Memories – Photo Collage Holiday Cards

Why did you choose this card?
I love that this card allows me to use multiple photos and tell fun details about our year on the back. We have so many things to share, and I’m not very good at picking just one. For family and friends who did not get to see us, sending a card like this one is a way of checking in with them and telling them what we’re up to.

Did you do anything special to personalize it?
I made it mine by picking photos that I loved. The pictures by themselves tell stories about us, but the letter on the back is just icing! I think the finished card really shows the adventurous side to our personalities. Not everyone gets to see that throughout the year, so it’s fun to have a chance to share it.

Holiday card staff picks: Stephanie, the busy mom

We’re profiling team members at Pear Tree Greetings to show you which unique Christmas card ideas they chose and how they personalized them.

Timeline Christmas card

About Stephanie: I am married to an amazing guy and we have two amazing kids, ages 3 and 1. We just moved to Minnesota, and this will be our first Christmas card at our new house.

Card she chose: Best Year – Trifold Christmas Photo Card

Why did you choose this card?
The cute images of stars and reindeer on this card appealed to me. I also like that I can match the background to some of the colors in the pictures.

Did you do anything special to personalize it?
When deciding what to put in my card, I want to share, not show off, and I try to do that by showing the fun and closeness of our family—lots of hugs and holding. I like posed shots, but my husband likes candid shots, so I always try to put in a good mix. From a practical side, I want the kids to have personality but still look cute, so with all that in mind it can be hard to find the right photos. I decided to use the single photo at the bottom for our new home, because it doesn’t quite fit in with the others.
