Today I had the pleasure of visiting with Kelly Van Osdol, owner of Edmond’s very own Framin’ Gallery on 15th Street. We’re proud to partner up with Kelly and his wife (who also works in the custom picture framing business) to offer our customers top quality framing, along with a special deal for our customers.

Take your prints, artwork, and other special memorabilia to Framin’ Gallery and let them know we sent you to receive special pricing for customers of Prints Charming Photography. Their expertise can help narrow down the choice of their 2,000+ frames!

If you’ve worked with the Framin’ Gallery in the past, or take anything over to have it framed, we’d love to hear about your experience in the comments area below.

Premium packaging always makes a great first impression

The design incorporates the couple’s favorite engagement images into a layout that leaves lots of space for the guests to write short notes of love, encouragement, or fun memories — not just their signature. It’s a must-have for today’s bride.

Want to actually hold and feel one? Give us a call… we’d love to show you!

We’d love to hear what you think! They’re really flexible, and can be used for Christmas, New Years… any of the winter holidays, just by changing a bit of text for you. Of course, we still have our all of our designs we’ve acquired over the years as well, so if you want to see more, feel free to check out the holiday card gallery here, and click on the thumbnails to zoom in.

Of course, if none of our designs tickle your fancy, we can always design a custom card for you. We have a great designer that does all of our custom design work, and we’re confident she can create something you’ll just love, and that will meet your special requirements.

Pricing For Holiday Cards This Year

If you know Holly and I, you know we like to be up-front with our pricing so you know what to expect! We have three options for cards this year, all in the larger 5×7 size, and all include envelopes…

Press-printed, folded cards are printed on heavy cover stock and are folded, either horizontally or vertically, based on the design of the cards. Prices start at $2.50 per card in quantity.

Flat cards are also press-printed, but instead of folding, they are just a single 5×7 piece of cover stock, printed on both sides. Prices start at 1.50 per card in quantity.

Photopaper cards are basically our cool card designs, but printed as a 5×7 photo for our customers on a tighter holiday card budget. Prices start at $1.25 in quantity.

If we can help you with your Christmas cards, don’t hesitate to give us a call! We have just a few more sessions available before we’re completely booked up for 2009 and we’d love to be able to help you!

Keep in mind that we can change the text to say whatever you’d like and we can change most anything on these cards if need be. Also, the watermark won’t appear on your finished cards like it does on the gallery samples, too.

Keep in mind that it can take up to 2 weeks to get your order back, so now’s the time to order. If your session has already expired, but you’re interested in ordering cards from a session earlier this year, just let us know and we’ll get it back online for you to order from. =)

You know what, I was going to post one or two of our favorites here, but let me save you a step and just post our sample cards here.

If you have any questions or comments, we’d love to hear from you!

Online proofing works really well for a lot of people, but it’s hard to beat printed proofs that you can take with you to show your friends without having to be on a computer and online. =)

Special thanks to our customers’ suggestions on ways to continue to improve our services!

Besides Holiday cards, we have 18 newly designed birth announcement cards and 18 save-the-date cards, too!

More samples are forthcoming as soon as we have a minute to show them off. Don’t hesitate, though. If you’re interested in cards, let us know! We’d be delighted to help…

There are three options for printed cards for every need and budget:

1. The thrifty photo greeting cards are printed on professional Kodak photo paper (one-side only) and start at $2.80 each for the 5×7-sized cards. Minimum order: 25, order by increments of 5 after that.
2. The folded greeting cards are press-printed on a slightly glossy cover stock with UV coating available as an option. Prices per pack of 25 cards (5×7 in size) start at $168. Minimum order: 25 cards (one pack), must order by increments of 25 after that.
3. Press-printed flat cards (not folded) are also available, perfect for save-the-date cards or baby announcements where the added quality of the heavier paper and press-printing are appreciated. Prices per 25-pack start at $83. The same quantity minimums and increments apply as with the folded cards above.

Oh, and keep in mind that envelopes are included in all of the above prices, too.

This is a really neat card idea. The Wadley’s actually came up with this wording themselves and chose the two pictures for this 5×6 picture-card. We printed it on metallic paper and it made the colors, especially the reds, really striking. You can click on the photo below to see a larger image of it.

Hope y’all are enjoying the New Year!

Here’s one we did for the Fredericks this year.

Not too bad for a humble beginning? The thing we love most is the reward of seeing customers really delighted to have such nice Christmas cards/pictures. So, keep your eyes open for more and keep us in mind next year!
