With the winter holidays rapidly approaching, it is time to think about what you can do with sending out the annual greeting cards.
Sure you can head to the store and buy some generic Christmas cards, but why settle for something just anyone can purchase? With printers getting fancier, and cheaper, why not print out your own? Yes, they will have fronts that anyone can purchase, but all of the wording can be 100% your creation.
By using companies such as Paper Direct, you can order blank cards that you can customize to your heart’s content by using templates they provide you with for your computer. As color inkjet and laser printers have gotten cheaper, you can print cards that are barely discernible from pre-printed ones that you buy in the store.
The other bonus to going with this method is that you can print just as many cards as you need, saving the blanks for future years or other purposes. If you buy three or four different designs, you can cycle through them for years, rotating through them. (Bonus note: buy more cards after Christmas as they will be heavily discounted and you can be ready for next year.)
You can do this not just with Christmas cards, but postcards, birthday cards, Valentines Day and so on. Make your printer in to a personal print shop, it’s not nearly as difficult as you may think.
