When I first heard of Paperspring and looked at their website, these Digital Name Art (DNA) products were the first ones that caught my eye. I think this is the coolest thing! These can be used for business (customized with the names of the recipients) or personal use. What you see here are 5x7 cards, blank inside; DNA cards are also available flat (like postcards), depending on the design.
I think these are so creative and so pretty! I also think they'd be fun to frame and display.
As I learned more about Paperspring, I noticed their StickyStock. It's a lightweight, slightly translucent kind of paper that can be used for printing photos, greeting cards, announcements, invitations, or Digital Name Art. The beauty of StickyStock is that it clings to flat, dry surfaces--refrigerator doors, mirrors, windows, and so on--without leaving a residue. (It clings for about six months.) This opens a world of possibilities:
- Use StickyStock photos on the refrigerator, and they won't fall off like magnetic photo holders do
- Send a StickyStock "save the date" card
- Decorate a mirror or window with favorite photos
- Send a StickyStock holiday card and family members can easily keep your card on the refrigerator door
I ordered a few favorite photos printed on StickyStock, and the prints look great.
I also really like the Paperspring selection of invitations and announcements. My photos don't do justice to how pretty these cards are:
They offer an extensive line of announcements for births, adoptions, even special cards to announce the arrival of twins and triplets. Paperspring also offers invitations for weddings, showers, baptisms, and birthday parties; personalized stationery; thank you cards; and announcements for moving or graduations. I think the designs are innovative, and the styles range from casual to elegant.
But let me tell you about the holiday cards from Paperspring! You can order holiday cards with Digital Name Art (each recipient would see his name in snowflakes, sugar cookies, stars, or whatever you choose) or with your family photo(s). A few card designs, like this one, even allow you to do both.
My family has sent and received many photo Christmas cards over the years, but I have never seen any like the ones from Paperspring. After looking through more than 75 designs, I chose this one (if you're on our Christmas card list, please try to forget that you saw this here):
This brings me to another very special aspect of the holiday cards from Paperspring: they are more customizable than any other cards I've seen. In the past we've ordered cards to which you can add your photo and your name. But Paperspring allows you to customize all of the wording, as well. On this card, I kept the "2009" (but could have changed it). I changed "Season's Greetings" to "Merry Christmas," and of course I substituted our own names.
The stack of cards arrived, tied in ribbon like a gift. I can't say enough about the quality of these cards! They're printed on high-quality heavyweight cardstock with a matte finish. They're simply gorgeous and have a rich feel to them. I could have ordered photo Christmas cards for a lower price, but they wouldn't be anywhere near as beautiful as these cards.
Can you tell that I love these products? Since I've gone on for so long, let me wrap this up by summarizing and adding a few more details:
- High quality stationery products at reasonable prices
- Extensive selection of exclusive card designs, invitations, and announcements

- More than 40 years in the printing business (online since 2008)
