I think I'll take the advice and make them smaller. I found 6x9 red envelopes so I'll probably order those. They're bigger than normal cards, but small enough to be more practical. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938518 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 22:04:32 +0000 coopsmama 1938518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love this idea but agree with PPs that 8x10 is probably a more practical size! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938515 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 22:03:34 +0000 regberadaisy 1938515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love that.

That makes more sense. Sure but I agree that seems very large. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938243 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 19:29:14 +0000 pui 1938243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with PPs, I think 11x14 is too big. </p> <p>I like getting 5x7 postcards because they are easy to stick to the fridge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938219 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 19:10:04 +0000 tinyperson 1938219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it, but maybe not 11x14 :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938218 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 19:07:42 +0000 Adira 1938218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that would be cool! It's be another festive thing to use a decor during the holidays! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938209 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 18:57:00 +0000 namaste 1938209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd personally prefer something like that! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938205 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 18:54:42 +0000 Dandelion 1938205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938152 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 18:15:19 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1938152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ohhhhh, I get it now! Yes, I totally would frame that around the holidays every year!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938145 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 18:08:54 +0000 cmomma17 1938145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure why not! If I liked it I might hang it up every year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938137 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 18:01:33 +0000 HabesBabe 1938137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh, I wouldn't be a fan. 11x14 is huge and I don't know if I would hang/display something like that (unless I knew the giver was coming over for dinner or something). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938135 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 18:00:23 +0000 Reese 1938135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, I said weird before reading that it wasn't a giant picture of you and your hubs. I like the idea! I would frame it and add it to my yearly decor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938133 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 17:59:34 +0000 Anya 1938133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neat idea- i would keep a 5x7, maaaybe 8x10, if it were my style and I had a place for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938132 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 17:57:44 +0000 mrskc 1938132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's cool! I would probably frame it and bring it out each year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938127 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 17:55:00 +0000 MediaNaranja 1938127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's really lovely! However, I agree that 11x14 does seem quite big. I think 8x10 would still have the same "wow" factor! </p> <p>Since you've done non-traditional cards in the past, and you know your audience, I say go for it! What have you got to lose?</p> <p>And if I got something like that I would probably save it and use it for decor in future years, FWIW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938122 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 17:48:53 +0000 Ash 1938122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice idea but I would probably treat it the same as a card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938113 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 17:37:57 +0000 Mommy Finger 1938113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the idea in theory but 11 x 14 just seems so big. I would be more apt to frame something that was 5 x 7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938109 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 17:33:19 +0000 Bao 1938109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: ooooh in that case, sure! If it were a photo I would think it was weird and not frame it lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938108 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 17:32:57 +0000 Foodnerd81 1938108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: I like the idea. If I really liked it I might frame it and pull it out next Christmas but otherwise it would be a nice pretty decoration for this year and I could toss it after. To me that's much more interesting than a generic happy holidays card with Love bob and sue scribbled inside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938105 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 17:30:55 +0000 sunny 1938105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: Ohhh that is neat! Yes, I think this would be a neat gift. Now I understand what you mean about cutting off the "Love Mary &amp; Bob" off the bottom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938103 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 17:28:59 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1938103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No pictures of me and my husband! We have done "memorable" Christmas cards in the past and I've kind of run out of ideas. We don't have kids yet. </p> <p>Something with a folksy-wintery feel with a general "happy holidays" message like<br /> -Tis the Season<br /> - Joy Peace Love<br /> - Be Merry, Be Bright</p> <p>When hung, I think it would just look like holiday decoration, not Christmas card. </p> [attach=3633/14/neuh4b.400x402.paper-cut-1.jpg] [attach=3633/14/neuh4c.472x314.paper-cut-2.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938102 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 17:28:53 +0000 LuLu Mom 1938102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a nice idea for family, but if my friend gave me an 11 x 14 picture to frame and hang up I would think it was strange since it's so big and I would feel bad if I didn't have the room on my wall for it (I only have immediate family on the wall.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-about-getting-a-print-instead-of-a-christmas-card#post-1938098 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 17:23:09 +0000 travellingbee 1938098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just can't see framing a picture of someone who wasn't in my immediate family. Even good friends. To me it would kind of seem like the person who sends the five-page letter about what their family has been doing this year... I think it's really cool that you're trying to think outside of the box and be creative, I just think this particular idea seems kind of... showy. </p>
