Online greeting cards?
I thought I had a pretty simple desi I wanted to do a Christmas card
using a winter painting my daughter did as the front cover, then have customized wording inside the card. But a perusal of online vendors (Kodakgallery, Shutterfly, Walmart, a lot of other cards-only places) comes up empty for me. Every place I've looked at seems to require that I plop my photo into a layout they already have and/or choose words from a selection they have. I'd think that it would be easier for these places to do what I want (start with a blank card layout) than to do it from a template. Anyway, can someone suggest an online service that will allow me to supply my own photo and words for a card, then create the card for me, absent one of their own templates? Obviously, quality and price factor in as well, but right now I just haven't found any options to choose from. |

If not, perhaps you would be better off just buying some greeting card software to design your own card and then having that duplicated at Kinkos. |

Could design it using whatever software he already has. Wordprocessers have a remarkable capability nowadays and even basic drawing software would give very attractive results. Templates are only empty (effectively) layouts. -- Neil Delete delete to reply by email |

Many are cheap, and a few are even free if you buy their paper. Check out offerings from Hallmark, or buy something like Print Artist, or The Print Shop (which can do vastly more than just greeting cards). These are both great values, and quite flexible, and allow sending the cards as email or printing them out. -- Ron Hunter |
