One person said, \u201cWow, it\u2019s the most stunning card I\u2019ve ever seen!\u201d&nbsp; &nbsp;Another said, \u201cWow, gorgeous card!&nbsp; Where did you get it?\u201d&nbsp; Several times during the year, people commented how thoughtful our card was!&nbsp; &nbsp;We obviously made a lasting impression!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me, the most unexpected wow factor is that the cards and envelopes are thoughtfully made from recycled materials!&nbsp; This year we are excited to shop for holiday cards!&nbsp;We anticipate that they will once again be enjoyed, remembered, and saved!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last year when we first started shopping for a holiday card, it was a little overwhelming with all&hellip;","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":9881,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4,28,26],"tags":[50,37,41],"class_list":["post-9879","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business-christmas-cards","category-holiday-cards-and-tidbits","category-personalized-christmas-cards","tag-christmas-cards","tag-greeting-cards","tag-holiday-cards","cs-entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.1 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>CHOOSING AMAZING HOLIDAY CARDS WITH A &quot;WOW&quot;
