Unique Cards

Astonishingcards is unique with three different types of cards. Not only are the formats unique but we also support camera phone photos, digital cameras and scanned photos from film cameras. All cards are printed in full color and may include up to three photographs.

  1. Astonishingcards Greeting Postcards is a new term that we have coined that describes these new cards. We have combined professionally designed greeting cards with a postcard format and added the ability to include your own personal photograph. Viola, an Astonishingcards Greeting Postcard!
  2. The Astonishingcards Invitation size folded card is unique because you can use a professionally designed thematic border in conjunction with not only one personal photo, but the opportunity to include a second photo on the inside and a logo or photo on the back of the card.
  3. Large folded Greeting Cards are oversized to give you more impact with your photos and text. Like the Invitation size cards you can include up to 3 photos or logo, plus your own custom message.
