In the past, I have usually chosen a design that is generic in nature since our customers are quite diverse. Some of the corporate holiday cards designs I have selected have been a light buff color or just plain white.<\/p>\n<p>However, this past season I went a different way; I picked a gorgeous black holiday card from The Gallery Collection. The card\u2019s design included the words \u201cHoliday Wishes\u201d in a beautiful gold foil with stars and swirls accenting the sentiment above and below. The detailing on the card was incredible. At first I was hesitant to use this card because you don\u2019t normally see that many dark styles and I wasn\u2019t sure if it would go over well with the recipients who may have been used to receiving more traditional-looking business holiday cards.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1960\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1960\" style=\"width: 443px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/card\/StarlightHolidayWishesChristmasCard.htm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1960\" title=\"Dark Stock Christmas cards - Design #817CX Starlight Holiday Wishes\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/817cx-darkstock.jpg\" alt=\"Your customers will love this dark stock Christmas card - design #817CX, Starlight Holiday Wishes\" width=\"443\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/817cx-darkstock.jpg 443w, https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/817cx-darkstock-300x220.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 443px) 100vw, 443px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1960\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Your customers will love this dark stock Christmas card &#8211; design #817CX, Starlight Holiday Wishes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/center>But I needn\u2019t have worried! The day after the cards were mailed out, the compliments started coming back to me fast and furious\u2026via emails and direct phone calls. \u201cMy goodness, what a terrific-looking design!\u201d \u201cWhere did you find such a magnificent card?\u201d \u201cDoes this company you bought the cards from have other designs in other dark colors?\u201d These were just a few of the extraordinary responses I received. It was overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>This year when I am ready to order I am going to have The Gallery Collection\u2019s beautiful catalog right at my desk or maybe even go right their website and check out their business Christmas cards offerings that come in black or perhaps a navy blue or a deep red. Whichever one I choose, I know the design will again be a big hit!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the employee selected by my boss each year with the responsibility of sending our business Christmas cards&hellip;","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1292,1301,4],"tags":[909,304],"class_list":{"0":"post-1959","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-occasions-and-celebrations","7":"category-holiday-traditions","8":"category-business-christmas-cards","9":"tag-business-christmas-cards","10":"tag-dark-stock-christmas-cards","11":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
