This year, I wanted to try the "photo card" thing.....but I do love making my cards. What to do, what to do.....MDS to the rescue!!!
I chose premade downloads...which may have cost $1.95? But I totally could have made them myself with all the components of MDS.
All I did was purchase/download ....took, maybe 5 minutes? Found the pictures I wanted to use and dropped them in the photo box....took, maybe 2 minutes? Then I added my own sentiment..... Then I uploaded them to Stampin' Up!....took (well...a long time because I was uploading my calendars as well and my computer hiccuped in the middle....but normally, it would take 5 or so minutes).
The longest part was shopping for FREEBIES....because my calendars/cards totalled $150.00, I got FREE hostess goodies. My calendars were $29.95 each and I ordered one for the hubs and all the grandparents. My cards were $1.45 each, which included envelopes.
The 2nd longest part was waiting! I was really pushing it by the time I ordered, but 10 days later, they showed up on my doorstep. I opened them, put them in an envelope and slapped an address sticker on.....they are postal tomorrow!
Easy, peesy mac n cheesy! I am soooo doing this again next year! But, I will continue to make handmade cards for my very special friends and customers!
Here is what they looked like:
This is the back, pretty cool...it's designer series paper, you can add text, embellishements, your christmas letter, more pics or leave blank for your friends to use in their scrapbook.
