[milsna]

grr...... "sample list currently empty" >:(

[p3gg]

milsna, I think the sample list is the equivalent of your "Shopping(!) Basket". You can view and select from available samples by clicking on "View Card Range"

[voucher_fairy]

Thanks for this sent for my 5

[Allexie]

Could someone please post if/when they get theirs and let us know what they are like

Thanks :)

[loopyloo]

Thankyou ;D

Will we get envelopes too?

[jat100]

Thanks Steve-182! I tried the Clinton one too!

[pgd08]

Thank you a great frebbie !!

[droopsnout]

This must be the most attractive series of cards I've seen from one source.

Thanks parknoweth for the first post.

And thanks to Steve-182 for the Clinton's link, too.

Looking forward to getting these. And it's made me feel a bit Christmas-y, even though the weather here is most unlike the snow scenes I've just seen on the cards!

[kwar2002]

Does anyone know the T&C....

Can you arder more than 5, if you use different emails....

[thesulkycat]

the cards arrived yesterday, very speedy, and pretty decent too - heavy and no 'sample' printed on them hurrah!

[CBo]

I got 3 from some other site. What I've noticed is they leave out the friendly greeting inside the card and give you no envelope. Usually there is something like Merry Christmas or Have the greatest of Christmas's. Properly better that you can write that yourself :)

[MimiJane]

Thanks ... good freebie!

:)

[mars]

Thanks

That's the cards sorted for this year

Now where do i find some free presents

[Lawe]

Many thanks for this.

In total, 9 free xmas cards. Now to see if we can get the rest of xmas for free!!

;D ;D ;D ;D

[Jo4]

Steve-182 !Thanks!

[Monkeyboy]

Thanks - both of these have saved me a few quid!!! ;D

[kaybee]

Thanks for the great freebie ;D

[knight-on-the-town]

Do ya?....
Do ya?....
Do ya wanna dance?
;D ;D ;D

[Jay-Jay]

thanks for this, just ordered mine xxx

[CBo]

Anyone know a free envelopes site? :D

[indigogirl]

I've ordered mine too.
Anyone else notice the range dwindled from hundreds of pages to just 4 pages when you start to select cards as samples?

Who cares tho - owt for nowt

Thanks

[jonven]

Brilliant post, thanks

[shanni]

Thanks, me too !:)

[tcall]

The Clintons site isn't working for me.
I tick 4 boxes, enter my details and then get an error:

"The following errors were found:

1. Please select at least 1 of the design choices

Please use the back button on your browser and correct the problem."

???

[jat100]

tcall,

this happened to me too. You have to select one card in eachof the five sections. Then it works. :)

[tcall]

oops! Thanks ;D

[Ally]

Ohh, thanks again! Just ordered the Clinton freebies too ;D

[COS]

Each time I order they want to bill me with £49.00 ?

[milsna]

Thanks.... :-[ will try again.

The Clintons one is good I have had some from them before, and no they don't supply envelopes...But the trick is.... order the long cards, because they fit into the envelopes I use at home (expecting most of you do to!) or you can pick some up v cheaply! ;) ...(maybe from work if you are fortunate! ;))

[milsna]

.......Me again

eeeeeek all these christmas cards are getting me all excited!!! ;D ....You don't have to send them, some of the pics are lovely you could frame them for an extra special christmas decoration!!! ;D ;D

[Steve-182]

great idea about the long envelopes !!! ;D

[sparky61]

Received mine.
:)

[Allexie]

Received mine.
:)

Any good..what are they like?

[sparky61]

Really nice. 9x6 inch.Great quality. I've just got to find some envelopes to fit now
:)

[Ticklemouse]

Only got 3 of the 5 I wanted, but they are lovely. I could always have a go at making the envelopes..... :D

[parknoweth]

:( not had mine yet and I posted the freebie!!!

[Lychee]

I only received one of the 5 samples I requested, did I go wrong somewhere or is it their mistake?? :-/

[sparky61]

I've got a feeling they may have ran out.
I wonder why ;)

[MimiJane]

Received mine this morning. Excellent quality cards, but no "seasonal greetings" inside or envelopes to go with them, but I'll make use of them somehow if I can't get hold of any envelopes ... definitely not complaining, they're FREE. :D


:)

[Lychee]

hmph ::)

[indigogirl]

I got 2 out of 5 - with a message telling me the others I ordered are out of stock - wonder why? :P

[Jo4]

I received 4 cards!

[Allexie]

I want me cards! :-/

[CBo]

Clinton cards sent one 1 with PROOF covering all of the picture. It feels like it's made of soft card.

[mars]

Similar to mine CBo i had proof accross mine too.

But i did have 3 out of 5 requested from Collisons and the letter said to request some more if i needed to.

[shazrazmataz]

fAB, JUST ORDERED MINE, THANKS. ;D ;D ;D

[Ally]

Clinton cards sent one 1 with PROOF covering all of the picture. !It feels like it's made of soft card.

Mine too .... silly post man folded it and now has big crease down the middle ..... oh well, in eldest's craft box now ;D

[JOE MILLIONAIRE]

I only know about 5 people so sorted for christmas ! :D

[nickiebabe]

What a great find!

Thanks for this...these will come in really handy for the big day!!!!

Cheers! ;D

[poppymop]

Thanks - just gave it a go. !I hope they haven't got SAMPLE stamped all over them. !;D

That is a good point!
Didnt think of that!

[shazrazmataz]

Mine came within 3 days of ordering, lovely cards, its a shame they dont send you the envelopes, I wonder if you can buy the envelopes ? :-/ ;D ;D

[Mumstheword]

Thanks, just ordered some...didn't think about the envelopes, but shouldn't be difficult to find a few of those!

[WelshLamb]

ordered mine a couple of weeks ago and still nothing :-/

Will try again!
:D

[parknoweth]

I think I will try again as well because mine never arrived either :(

[tislittleme]

Hi,
I ordered my 5 samples, I received them last week and they were lovely then I got 5 more today ???
Only ordered once... my best friend works in a card shop and I traded my 2nd free lot for 5 free envelopes my 1st lot....
Very nice cards... ideal to write a note in for people that live 'away' a Christmasy notelet!
Little Me

[Emmacw]

thank you to both posters for this.

Just ordered 2 sets of free samples - wonder whether they'll come seeing as I am a bit late in seeing this post.

thanks again :D :D

[BenL]

I ordered mine about 2-3 weeks ago and non received yet.

[jat100]

I didn't get any from Collisons and only one from Clinton Cards (and that was a picture of Canary Wharf with PROOF stamped across it!) :'(

[ihmoody]

'The Sample list is currently empty'... Bah Humbug!!!!

[papawaigo]

just ordered them

[cafenervosa]

Thanks for the post Paknoweth, just ordered mine too. They look great! :o

[devilishangel]

Great, thanks !! ;D

[speleo]

Excellent one. Especially for this time of the year. Thank you. :)

[furrypig]

I ordered these a couple of weeks ago and nothing has arrived as yet!!

[Agutka]

I got mine in two days. All the ones I chose. And they are lovely. I think they must have re-stocked since people emptied their supplies.
Thank you for making this week Christmassy!

[cafenervosa]

Just got mine Friday morning, only took 2 days. They are really great quality cards! Pity theres no envelope.

[melodytoon]

Got mine Friday morning too - I only requested them Wednesday, so I'm very impressed by getting them only 2 days later. I'm not impressed though by not getting envelopes - I can see why as they're samples, but now we've got to look for freebie envelopes to match them or make our own ...... ;)

[nickiebabe]

Received mine this morning....really good quality! I only ordered these on wednesday so I am suprised that I received them so quickly!

Will order some more for the rest of the family! ;D

[bindiboo]

;)got mine within 48 hrs no envelopes though but you can pick these up for about 69p for a pkt of 10 from wilkos

[Emmacw]

got mine Friday as well - no envelopes but can't complain on a freebie ;D ;D

[stephentheshark]

Excellent cards especially the calendar ones. High quality finish and FREE. Fantastic

[Shawz]

Thanks for the post.

Just ordered mine :)

[thesulkycat]

cant believe some of you are moaning about not having envelopes!

you miserable lot.... ::) ;D :o

[nickiebabe]

Same here! Some of these cards are really good! Received my second lot today....envelopes are not expensive..but cards like these are! My local poundland does those size envlopes in packs of 20.

Bargain all the way...merry christmas! ;D

nickiebabe

[netfreestuff]

Seems like a good offer.

[aptfourd]

Received mine and my daughter did also.

Very impressed. Great freebie. Thanks

[Purdy_1]

Heres another 2 sites to add to the christmas card freebies list . You can choose 5 samples from each site . I have now had 3 lots and they are lovely cards. No envelopes but I shall just get my kids to make some and decorate them with glitter glue . They dont have proof or sample stamped across these either . Fantastic !

[angel]

Got mine today. :D

I love the calander ones. The others I might display to make out that I have more friends than I have... ;D ;D

[Shawz]

Received mine today. Great Freebie. Thanks again :D

[jat100]

I requested some cards from Collisons ages ago and when I didn't get them I applied again two weeks ago. Amazingly, I received my 5 sample cards today! Very good quality - unfortunately the postman bent them when putting them through the letter box but they're still usable.

As I didn't think I was going to get any free ones, I managed to buy a pack of 24 really nice Christmas cards in Poundstretcher at half the original price of £2. Bargain!

Also, received a catalogue and five free samples from Waterlow today. I won't have to buy any more Christmas cards for ages. ;D

Thanks to all those who posted up the free Christmas card sites.

[shanz_mum]

;Di have only just seen this post so i have now orded from all 4 company's listed onthe post just sit and wait hope they come ;D ;D

[Bodgerdogs]

Just ordered mine - no trouble at all!

Many thanks for this one!

[Plumpud]

I've just sent off for all four sets of samples. We've just started a small business, so for this year I've already ordered the printed Christmas cards for our clients'.

I shall be interested to see the quality as this will have a bearing on what I order for next year. We shall need alot more then.

I'd never heard of three of these companies, only Clintons, so this has been a very useful thread. Thanks. :)

[dizzyliz]

i got mine straight away.. no problems !

really good quality too
