Hallmark Handmade Watercolor Birthday Multicolor 5EBN1002 Reviews Summary

Card Quality and Design

Pros:

• "Beautiful cards! Excellent detail. These cards are made with heavy paper for a quality feel."
• "Very high quality. I'm very pleased with those cards."
• "Each card is a different design with a different message which will make it special and fun to choose a card for the different recipients."
• "The art on these is just beautiful! High quality too."
• "High quality cards with various sizes and shapes with matching envelopes for each one and different inscriptions."
• "These handmade cards are beautiful! The stock is extra thick and the designs are fabulous!"
• "These cards are gorgeous and each has a unique three dimensional design."

Cons:

• "I disliked everything! Certainly not the same cards I have purchased before. Cards were not separated, just thrown into a very large box and shipped in 2 more boxes."
• "The envelopes are quite thin as well."
• "The envelopes do not match the card (plain white) and the envelopes don’t have self adhesive tape."
• "Some of the cards had attached designs that made them hard to seal inside the envelopes that came with the cards."
• "They were so thick the envelopes didn't always close or stay closed even with the sticker seals."
• "While the selection is decent, the cards were not divided into their categories and the envelopes just came in a bundle."
• "I have bought these before and they were very nice but the ones I got today are not as nice they don’t look handmade anymore."

Packaging and Storage

Pros:

• "The box they came in was beautiful with a nice Velcro clasp that I am using to store some items."
• "The storage box is very sturdy and super cute, too!"
• "Nice box to keep them organized."
• "Packaging wonderful, will keep box for other stationary."
• "Comes in a wonderful box that is sturdy and protects the cards from damage, and it also has dividers inside for different occasions."
• "Storage container is included keeping the cards in good condition."
• "The box they came in is very nice and heavy duty with a magnetic closure."

Cons:

• "Loved the beautiful box it came in. Beautiful cards all individually wrapped. Look handmade. Sturdy, bright colors. Highly recommend. 🎄🎄🎄Only downfall was some of the cards were missing white cards to protect details on Christmas cards."
• "either I am too picky or this is a very cheaply made product hate I bought it but not sending back … wish they were nicer and the inside comments were more thoughtful."
• "The sayings/sentiment inside the cards leaves a lot to be desired."
• "Unfortunately, only 9 of the cards are NOT Christmas specific."
• "I am only giving them 4 stars as they were a bit pricey, but they were nice."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "And for the price, unbelievable."
• "I got so lucky I bought these when they were on sale."
• "Nope. Less than $20. Wow. Very impressed."
• "Super high quality and at first i thought was a little pricey but when i did the math they’re only a FRACTION of the price if i was to buy them in stores one by one."
• "The price was honestly fantastic for my overall satisfaction."
• "These cards turned out to be so economical."
• "You definitely get more bang for your buck purchasing this set."

Cons:

• "They're very embellished so they require extra postage so they are not put thru postage machines."
• "Only thing is you probably will need two stamps for most or all of the cards and to write hand stamp on the envelopes."
• "All the cute embellishments made them too thick for standard mail and I had to pay twice what I’d normally pay."
• "Cards are beautiful..but.. every one will require extra postage if I mail them."
• "Not so good for mailing….odd sizes and lumpy..thus requiring extra postage, BUT….they are just gorgeous for handing out personally or attaching to gifts!"
• "To buy just one quality card in your local store will set you back between $6.00 and upwards of $10.00! These beautiful cards priced at $29.98 for 24 cards is an unbelievable value!"
• "Beautiful cards, designed in the US but produced in Red China. They should let one know that the cards have to hand cancelled and thus cost $0.70 to send through the post."

Personalization and Variety

Pros:

• "I received so many comments on how beautiful these cards were."
• "I absolutely loved this box of Christmas cards! Each one was perfect designed and the sentiment well written."
• "They are ALL different. Not a single duplicate."
• "Every single one was truly stunning. Worth every penny!!!!"
• "You can actually find a card in the assortment that 'fits' the person (or family) you're sending your 'season's greeting' to!"
• "I'm so impressed with the quality and variety of these cards. They're wonderful!"
• "These are the cards you buy at the store for 8-12 dollars each."

Cons:

• "There were a couple that were just plain distasteful & I would not send, but most I liked."
• "Majority are very over-the-top with the holiday message printed inside the card and almost every card in the box has a ton of glitter."
• "I only ended up using half of them, the others I’d never send to anyone. A lot were money holders too which are useless to me."
• "Some of them were so gaudy with glitter covering the entire surface. I personally hate glitter and think it should be banned since it ends up becoming a micro plastic waste."
• "The cards are beautiful and a nice assortment. My only complaint is I purchased these cards last year, and again this year. I was hoping the cards would be different, but they are the same as last years' cards--so that is my only complaint."
