Holiday cards that are truly a work of art
Every year after I spend half the day trying to get myself ready, and then wrangling my four kids and my husband for our annual holiday card family photo extravaganza, I vow to do something different the next year.

I have found it! With one of a kind cards featuring original artwork of your very own family.
I'm completely smitten with the beautiful one-of-a-kind holiday cards from Dear Ida. This is the brainchild of four friends, including mom, artist, and children's book illustrator Lisa Mundorff, whose annual hand drawn Christmas cards were so famous among her friends and family that she decided to do what everyone always suggested, and share talents with the rest of us.

To order your own custom cards drawn by Lisa herself, you simply choose a background and upload your photos. Then Lisa makes magic happen, turning your photos into an original piece of art.

The cards are printed on super high quality paper stock and obviously the result is terrific. All this for a price that's comparable to higher end holiday cards you may already be looking at--all without the hassle of having to find the very perfect photo of everyone with their eyes open. Awesome. -Kristen

Order your custom holiday cards from Dear Ida on their website.
