Hallmark Cards for Every Ocassion

Leading greeting cards company Hallmark has just introduced more choice to their already extensive card range.

Bellissima is a beautiful collection of exquisitely handcrafted cards, perfect for those looking to express simple yet meaningful messages to loved ones.

Consisting of 39 sophisticated designs adorned with intricate, unique and delicately applied attachments, they are complemented by pearl envelopes for the perfect finishing touch.  They are perfect for when you want to send something extra special including designs for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, engagements and for messages of thanks.

The range is available from £2.99 RRP from selected Hallmark stores, card shops and supermarkets.

An exclusive Vintage range, inspired by Britain's rich design history, has been launched in conjunction with Wayne Hemingway founder of the Red and Dead brand.  The twelve designs pay homage to glamorous past eras from the 50's to the 70's, following the trend for all things vintage in fashion and design.  This range proves that the past is not passé and makes this part of Britain's cultural heritage accessible to a whole new generation who will love the Rock 'n' Roll Fifties and  the Swinging Sixties imagery, with the range's cool retro graphics.

The Vintage Range is available from Tesco stores nationwide priced from £1.69 RRP.

I was sent a selection of Hallmark's cards from the new ranges.  They are all of the highest quality and the designs are diverse making sure that there will be a choice to suit everyone.  The Bellissima cards are beautifully crafted and uniquely designed with added jewels and gems to make them look really special.  The Vintage designs are really cool and funky.  The retro images are brought perfectly up to date with quirky slogans, making them the perfect card for sending to fashion conscious friends.  My family will be spoilt with their Hallmark cards this year!

We were given the opportunity to make a card in order to review the site and the product for ourselves.  The range was huge with cards featuring much loved characters from favourite films alongside cute cartoon characters that can be given the faces of your children!  Ella, Kizzy and Freddy enjoyed pouring through the designs.

The process of creating the cards was very simple.  We uploaded the photos we wanted to use and used the photo tool to resize and position them where we wanted them to go.  The inside of the card has areas where you can put text, and the printed verse can be re-written if you do not want to use it.  My children added their own poem to the card, giving it the real personal touch!

Cards ordered before 2pm Monday to Friday are despatched the same day, perfect for last minute orders!  Prices start at just £2 for a small card.

My Three Little Monkeys!

Our medium card cost £3.00 + 55p postage.  The card is printed on glossy, good quality card and I was very impressed with the inside which was printed in full colour to match the design on the front.  The kids' poem was great.  Daddy will be delighted!!!

Daddy's Little Monkey Kizzy!

In addition to the great product, swift delivery and great site, I have to add that the customer service team is great.  I got my account into a pickle (trust me) and the very patient team were able to help me out quickly and efficiently!  Overall, we have had a great experience with Hallmark.co.uk and will definitely use them again for making personalised cards.
