"These cards are perfect for shoppers who like sophisticated, dimensional designs," said Dan Foster, Hallmark Vice President of Creative Commercialization Greetings. "Consumers told us they wanted cards that were meaningful and authentic, as well as surprising, unexpected, and appropriate for a keepsake."
The early success of the everyday card line prompted Hallmark to evolve the line into major seasons, starting with the 72 new designs in this year's Holiday collection.
Fun, new holiday embellishments include removable jewelry, tinsel, ornaments, an acrylic Christmas tree, a moveable nutcracker, decorative garland, satin and sheer ribbon, and even reindeer antlers for a beloved pet cat. All attachments are removable to extend the life and play-value of the greeting card.
"The second use attachments are a specific feature of the Signature Collection. Some of them are jewelry, some are ornaments, and a lot of them are made with materials that you don't usually find on a greeting card," said Lauren Benson, Hallmark Editorial Director.
These attachments combined with the strong design and writing make these cards a perfect holiday gift for someone you want to give a little extra attention to this holiday season.
Each card is individually wrapped to protect the special features, and inside the package is an envelope specifically selected to match each card. Some envelopes are enhanced by heavy stock, shimmer or a designed liner. Prices begin at $3.99.
All things Christmas are available at Hallmark Gold Crown® stores and participating Hallmark retailers nationwide. Use the store locator on Hallmark.com to find the nearest Hallmark Gold Crown store.
