Photo xmas cards!

Options
Hello!

I'm wanting to have some xmas cards made up, with photo's of our babies on. So was wondering where the cheapest or nicest ones you'd seen were. I've seen some on snapfish which are 6.99 for 20, and the more you buy the cheaper you get them, http://www1.snapfish.co.uk/photocards but thought there may be cheaper/nicer out there!

Thanks :)

  • If you're a bit crafty you could make your own.

    Photos:-
    Go to https://www.directfoto.co.uk, upload your chosen pic and enter NOTW50FREE (from today's news of the world) at the checkout to get 50 free photos. Pay £1.60 P&P

    Card:-
    Quick way is to go to the nearest art/craft shop and buy pre-cut cards & matching envelopes. Slightly harder (but cheaper) way is to buy the card and cut it yourself.

    Stick photo to front of card, with gold or silver pen draw/embellish the front of card, if you want to you could add extras like stars, sequins, ribbons then write greeting inside. This means you can personalise them for Grandaparents/Aunties, etc.

    Hope this idea is of some use. :)

    I used vistaprint when they offered 20 photo xmas cards free (download your picture) just pay postage (about £3.50).

    They are always doing these offers so keep your eye out.

    I make mine up on the PC using Publisher, costs just ink & paper;) People are just as thrilled as the year I spent £28 on more professional kits & prints:rolleyes:

  • Thanks guys, will look into all these. I do like making cards myself, but also like how professional ready made ones are, so I suppose it's the cost that will decide, lol!
