I have one friend who keeps many of the picture Christmas cards they receive up all year on the cabinets in her kitchen. I have another friend how sticks them in her Bible.

High-Quality Personalized Letter Shee ts
Choosing Raised Ink? You have your choice of 11 brilliant and semi-shiny raised ink colors for your personalized letter sheets. Our raised ink thermography technique combines wet ink with a special powder that leaves a raised, shiny appearance. Our experts will ensure each one of your letter sheets are produced to perfection before it's sent out to you.
We recommend our customers to use an ink jet or no heat printer to print their own messages on letter sheets printed in thermography (raised ink personalization). Customers should avoid using laser printers and printers that use heat since they will melt the plastic coating used on the personalization. We apply the plastic coating during the production process to create the raised, shiny appearance of your raised ink letter sheets.
