Despite the plethora of alternative options – facebook updates, twitter comments, emails and text messages – there are still very many occasions in any given year which we choose to celebrate with the exchanging of greeting cards. To some it may seem old fashioned, but rituals like this help to foster a sense of continuity, of a tradition reaching back through the years. Just because it’s traditional, however, doesn’t mean that it can’t be totally up to the minute. Personalised photo cards take this tradition and not only position it firmly in the modern day, but they also reinforce the personal elements of the exchange by making the cards truly unique. Personalised photo cards take your images and reproduce them as greeting cards which are every bit as professional as those you could buy in the shops. The quality of the card itself and of the printing we utilise when you design photo cards online mean that you can combine the emotional and the personal with an excellent piece of product.
There’s literally no limit to the occasions that could be marked with a personalised photo card – if you’ve got the image, we’ll make the card, and to set your imagination rolling we’ve come up with a few ideas of our own:
Birthday photo card – celebrate someone’s birthday with a card that’s truly special. Special because it could only be for them, and it could only be for them because it’s got a super cute picture of them as a baby on the front. Birthday suit optional.
Christmas photo card – few times of the year say ‘family’ more firmly than Christmas, and what Christmas card could reinforce that feeling more than a card based around a picture of your own family?
Thank you photo card – receiving a thank you card is always touching, but how much more so if you’ve gone to the trouble of designing your own personal card. Imagine how much more a card saying ‘Thank You For The Gift’ would mean if it featured a photo of a smiling baby playing with the gift in question
We Are Moving photo card – tell people you’re moving house but don’t just tell them, show them. Show them a picture of the lovely new home you’re proud to be moving to, or perhaps a shot of the home you’re leaving behind, demonstrating how you’re sad to go, but excited to be moving on.
Anniversary photo card – an anniversary card can be one you give to your own partner to celebrate the years you’ve spent together, or a card which you send to another couple, marking the durability of their relationship. In either case, a photo, of the couple as young lovebirds perhaps, can convey the message in a way hundreds of words couldn’t.
Those are just a few ideas, and you’ve doubtless got plenty of your own. Log onto www.bonusprint.co.uk and turn those ideas into personal photo cards which will touch the hearts of anyone who receives them.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
