Balfour Engraved Holiday Card, Petite

There is something truly extraordinary about an engraved holiday card. Each Stovall Collection engraved card is hand engraved on beautifully substantial, approximately 130 lb. paper, available in a rich assortment of jewel-toned and classic colors. The result is luxury holiday stationery that feels every bit as beautiful as it looks.

Unlike other printing methods, traditional engraving creates beautifully raised ink that you can actually feel as you graze your hand across the paper. Choose from our carefully curated engraving ink colors, including stunning metallic inks that are particularly beautiful when engraved—the shimmer, dimension, and crisp detail achieved through engraving simply cannot be replicated with traditional flat printing or letterpress.

Personalize your engraved holiday card with your family name, year, or other personalization as shown on the selected design. If your card features original hand-lettered calligraphy, the greeting is part of the original artwork and cannot be changed. Some Stovall Collection designs feature editable typography instead; whenever a greeting may be customized, it will be clearly noted on the individual product page.

Due to the distinctive size of our engraved cards, each personalized engraved holiday card order includes a classic white envelope, beautifully suited to the timeless look of the collection. As an added benefit, white envelopes offer excellent contrast for postal addressing and are especially well suited for traveling through the mail during the busy holiday season.

Complete your order with optional Recipient Addressing for beautifully finished holiday cards that arrive ready to address, stamp, and send.

Would you feel more comfortable seeing your personalized Christmas card before it goes to print? Add an optional Digital Proof to review your personalization, layout, spacing, and color selections before your card is sent to our engraver.

Please note: Square envelopes require additional postage.

Every holiday card in the Stovall Collection has been thoughtfully designed by Jody Geary with one guiding philosophy: create holiday cards that feel just as beautiful twenty years from now as they do today.

Rather than following seasonal trends, each design reflects Stovall's signature aesthetic—timeless typography, original hand-lettered calligraphy, and thoughtfully balanced layouts that allow your family's photograph to remain the focal point. Designed exclusively for our Signature Photo Mount Holiday Card Collection, every layout has been carefully proportioned so the mounted photograph and printed artwork work together as one finished design.

Whether you're using a professional family portrait, a favorite everyday snapshot, or a black-and-white photograph, every design is created to complement your image beautifully. Choose from twenty-two carefully curated ink colorways, each selected to coordinate effortlessly with a wide range of photographs, homes, and holiday traditions.

Every Stovall Collection design begins as original artwork—not an editable template—creating holiday cards that feel personal, timeless, and worthy of becoming part of your family's tradition for years to come.

Every Stovall Collection engraved holiday card is professionally printed to order by our trusted printing partners in the American South and individually reviewed by our Memphis studio before production begins.

Rather than sending orders directly to press, our team carefully reviews every order by hand, taking time to physically lay out your card, confirm personalization, and ensure the artwork, spacing, and overall design look exactly as intended before it is released for engraving.

Engraved Holiday Cards typically require 14–16 business days for production (assuming proofs are approved immediately)

If you choose to add an optional hand-painted border, please allow an additional 7–10 business days for this finishing process. Each border is applied by hand after printing, adding another layer of craftsmanship—and additional production time—to your finished cards.

Shipping time is additional and varies based on the delivery method selected at checkout. For the most up-to-date production schedule, please visit our Holiday Production Timeline.

Because every Stovall Collection order is personally reviewed before printing, we encourage ordering early—especially after mid-November, when holiday production reaches its busiest season. Ordering early allows our team the time to provide the thoughtful attention, careful review, and quality control that define the Stovall Collection experience.

Every Stovall Collection engraved photo holiday card includes our Stovall Concierge Photo Assembly service, complimentary with your order.

Once your engraved cards and photographs are ready, each photograph is carefully mounted by hand onto your card in our Memphis, Tennessee studio. Our team individually assembles and reviews every card, ensuring your photograph is beautifully positioned and your finished holiday cards arrive polished, complete, and ready to address and mail.

This complimentary service is exclusive to our Engraved Photo Holiday Card Collection and is one of the details that makes these cards so special. From traditional hand engraving to the final placement of your photograph, each card passes through real hands—creating a beautifully finished piece of holiday correspondence with the craftsmanship and personal attention that define the Stovall Collection.

Every Stovall Collection engraved holiday card includes a complimentary digital proof, an exclusive service included with our Engraved Holiday Card Collection.

Before your card is released for engraving, expect a personal email from Jody or one of her dedicated project managers with a digital proof of your finished design. These cards are incredibly special, and we want to triple-check the details right alongside you—from the spelling of every name to your personalization, spacing, layout, and engraving selections.

Please review your proof carefully and reply with your approval. Once approved, your card will be released to our engraver and production will begin.

Because your first digital proof is complimentary, any additional proof rounds requested after the initial proof are $30 each.

Complete your holiday cards with professionally printed recipient addressing for a polished, ready-to-mail presentation.

Simply add Recipient Addressing to your holiday card order. A downloadable address template is provided directly on the product page, making it easy to organize your mailing list. To ensure the highest level of accuracy, your completed address list must be uploaded before your order can be finalized.

Our team carefully reviews, formats, and prints each address to coordinate beautifully with your selected holiday card design, creating an elegant finished presentation that reflects the same attention to detail found throughout the Stovall Collection.

Looking for a truly effortless holiday mailing experience? Pair Recipient Addressing with Return Address Printing, and Stovall Concierge Assembly to receive beautifully finished holiday cards that are ready to stamp, mail, and enjoy.
