I have a mac, I just wanted to do a full-card image of LO with some writing. but all i've got is word - and I downloaded gimp, but no idea how to use it yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-404269 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 18:43:23 +0000 regberadaisy 404269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year I used vistaprint but one of their styles.

I liked them and since we order 50+ of them, the cost wasn't bad at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-379217 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 13:27:46 +0000 lavender 379217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered mine from vistaprint this year, they had an amazing deal that I couldn't resist...$30 for 100 (photo)cards! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-377340 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 09:30:04 +0000 LAGS 377340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're using Tinyprints which I guess is a Shutterfly brand. I've just loved their quality in the past but this year the decision was made for me when they had a great deal over Totsy or Zulily, I can't remember which. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-377338 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 09:28:42 +0000 SugarplumsMom 377338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This reminds me to take some pictures for that Zazzle deal from Groupon! Man, I really wanted to avoid another photo session, but the deal was just too good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-377267 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 07:23:33 +0000 kml636 377267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use either tinyprints or minted. They are a little more expensive, but the quality is much better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-377125 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 23:14:53 +0000 regberadaisy 377125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Going to design my own then use Vistaprint </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-377117 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 22:57:04 +0000 dc yoga bee 377117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours from Zazzle just came in, and they are AMAZING! I used a $19 for 40 cards groupon, and wasn't expecting the quality to be great, but man was I blown away. They are a great paperweight, and a terrific finish. I'm sure we will use them again. This year we did a photo from the wedding :). I've used minted in the past for wedding stuff, and was very pleased with their quality as well. We have a free photobook from Shutterfly that we got for buying groceries today (weird), so I'm excited to see what their quality is like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-377095 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 21:53:03 +0000 808love 377095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shutterfly and we do them super early so they are 45% off. I think there are last minute deals too so keep an eye out. Ours arrived the day after Halloween. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-376675 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 13:56:28 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 376675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I design and print my own, but if I didn't, I'd buy from Etsy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-376571 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 12:20:08 +0000 sunny 376571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually order from Shutterfly. You can almost always find promos to bring down the price. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-376567 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 12:17:23 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 376567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: we used cardstore.com, too! i got them for SUPER cheap on black friday. i think i paid $30 for 75 cards or something? we liked the quality, but they didn't have the best selection. minted and tiny prints are WAAAAY cuter, but you couldn't beat the price!</p> <p>i think this year, i'm going to try to design my own and then print them through vistaprint or mpix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-376563 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 12:05:43 +0000 bpcmarj 376563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year I just had some made up at walmart with a wedding picture. I much prefer having one that I can sign myself though, so I will likely use vistaprint this year. I like that they ALWAYS have promos, and I can get return address labels to match that we use on bills throughout the year if there are too many left over! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-376559 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 11:59:57 +0000 Pepper 376559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always use Shutterfly... really good quality and they run promotions all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-376427 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 09:48:00 +0000 pelikila 376427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used mpix.com last year because we wanted to do a two sided card and we found the most options that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-376426 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 09:44:55 +0000 DontFrett 376426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>tiny prints! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-374606 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 10:20:34 +0000 kge 374606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i really like paper source. <a href="http://www.paper-source.com/cgi-bin/paper/personalized/holiday-cards/photo-cards.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.paper-source.com/cgi-bin/paper/personalized/holiday-cards/photo-cards.html</a> i think their cards are more like proper cards and they have nice envelopes. and i think their designs are not as widely used. (so self-destructive of me to be recommending it on the www!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-374439 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 08:58:16 +0000 HabesBabe 374439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: I bought the same Zazzle groupon! I didn't realize we only have until next Friday to order the cards, so we're taking family photos this weekend. I hope the quality is decent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-374435 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 08:55:16 +0000 chopsuey 374435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: aww man! I ordered ours the other day! :( got 25 for 36 bucks. Boo. Thanks for sharing though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-374429 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 08:52:12 +0000 rachiecakes 374429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: same! </p> <p>I ordered ours from Zazzle this year because there was a Groupon.</p> <p>Definitely look out for coupons and deals. This year I bought a Picture People Groupon for $16 and I think the Zazzle was $15 for $40 worth of cards. I had DS's pictures done by 10/24 and the cards ordered (with the photos) by 11/1. So now I don't even have to think about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-374402 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 08:36:11 +0000 Sammyfab 374402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I am going to use Paper Coterie this year. They have a promotion for 50% off cards (holidaycards2012). They have super cute stuff. Only downside is that I have to order them by Sunday to use the promo code! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-374401 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 08:35:27 +0000 T.H.O.U. 374401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have used shutterfly but last year I just designed something in powerpoint and emailed them out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-374398 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 08:32:56 +0000 sorrycharlie 374398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we're using shutterfly because I have credit! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photos-cards-diy-shutterfly-what-do-you-use#post-374378 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 08:20:49 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 374378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used Zazzle and Shutterfly.
